Good lord, how awful. My sympathies. I have the same sort of problem but quite a bit milder. Like you, the only thing that has every helped me is a benzo (Clonazepam).
Your post is unfortunate for me, sigh, since I'm just starting out on Lamictal. I'm going to see the doc tomorrow. We're going to have to discuss treatment options for my hypomania.
Hang in there. It must be very difficult indeed to cope with borderline mixed-state mania. I don't usually get close to psychosis at all and it's bad enough.
I am so fearful of being put on one of those nasty bipolar medications, eg. depakote or lithium.
