hi there....wondering about the BPII diagnosis.....are you rapid-cycling, and i assume you lean towards the depressed end of the spectrum? depakote - from personal experience - was what i imagine taking a stupendously high dose of barbituates feels like, and a magical ingredient that made me suddenly gain weight and crave junk food thrown in. mood stabilizing? well, i guess no mood at all is one way to put it, although other people will have different experiences. so, back to the original question: are mostly dysphoric, in which case the lexapro and klonopin might be the right cocktail, since your depression/anxiety could be nipped in the bud with these two, or are you BPII mixed-state, rapid-cycling, or other? all the best, chemist
