BearNCrow,
I'm sorry you are feeling so poorly and that you have so many stressors compounding it.
I can't offer too much advice--I'm having a rough time, too. I'm thinking of trying emsam (an MAOI, in the same family as parnate). I'm also looking for an integrative physician that takes insurance.
Anxiety right now is big for me, too. I think klonopin can be really good for the right person. Is it working for you (the three mg. dose)? It does have some mood-stabilizing properties. I haven't heard of it contra-indicated for bi-polar.
There are long term strategies for dealing with anxiety--but I hear you--you need something now.
best wishes for you, and please let us know how you're doing,
