how your blood levels are. It sounds like your pdoc is doing everything right, getting your mood stabilizer up before adding the AD- I hope that combo works for you. Lots of people have the memory problem with klonopin, I'm sorry you are one. Actually risperdal works really well for me too, but I usually take 4-6 mg/day when I'm on it and the risk of EPS is probably nonexistant at your dose. Wow, do I ever identify with the self-esteem thing following the 'crash'. The last time i was manic and hit on my pdoc, it took me a month to see him again because I was so embarrassed. It sounds as if you're depressed and I'm sorry- the roller coaster world of bipolar disorder. Maybe a positive note- now that it's spring I'm starting to feel better (not hypomanic- maybe a 6 on the 1-10 scale). That seasonal thing has always been with me, maybe you'll find it true for yourself. Take care, judy
