If you don't mind, could I ask a couple of questions. I have not been diagnosed as BP (my gp thought I was, the pdoc determined otherwise). Anyway, I think I may have finally found an AD - nortriptyline) that will work for me (although it has only been 5 days, my mood is better than it has been in quite some time). I am feeling a little trippy and agitated at times, but I figure that is just some start-up side effects (and the extra coffee I have been drinking the past few days). Anyway, I use Xanax as needed, but I was wondering if Klonopin might be a more effective, longer-term solution for the sometimes paralyzing anxiety, "what if" thoughts and inner turmoil I experience (even if it was just for a month or two until I can get a better handle on these emotions/feelings).
Thanks.
Tamara
