Relying on Klonopin as your mood stabilizer is inviting disaster.
Here are your available mood stabilizers:
Tegretol - requires blood tests - good for mania
Lithium - requires blood tests for levels - good for mania and depression
Depakote - requires blood tests - good for mania
Trileptal - good for mania and depression - risk of hyponatremia
Lamictal - can cause fatal rash - good for mania and depression
Zonegran - good for mania and depression - can help you lose weight
Keppra - good for mania - high incidence of psychiatric side effectsYou shouldn't worry so much about side effects.
