I'm so glad you found a formula that works for you- it's exactly what I do (in regards to the clonopin- which I take 1mg in the am now and 2mg at night). Unfortunately the sedating properties of benzos wear off pretty quickly so don't be surprised if that happens. The key (for me) in managing emerging hypomanic symptoms (and yes, lack of sleep is a biggy), is the increase of depakote. This all depends on your blood reading- I go to 1500mg of depakote when things are getting out of hand- I think I test at 85u with 1500mg. I'm also a rapid cycler and removing all ADs has really helped, but at one major episode that doesn't seem to be the case for you. Anyway, best of luck-judy
