Trileptal w/ Klonopin and occasional Ambien helped me stay on an even keel for a while, until I developed psychotic depression.
It does kind of make you stupid, but in this really subtle way that you're not aware of until after you're off of it. Kind of creepy.
Have you ever tried Zyprexa? Even PRN, it can knock out the crazy and the dysphoria for some people. It can also help sleep. The downside would be weight gain and metabolic disorders; some doctors have used metformin to counteract this. I also read some studies that used high doses of alpha lipoic acid and green tea extract, and that seemed to curb weight gain.
I hope you feel better soon.
