Pdoc wrote the Klonopin: 1mg 3xday. I took it for the first time this morning because my husband didn't take me to the pharmacy until yesterday
The score: Anxiety-1, Klonopin-0. But it did work slightly better than the Xanax.

It seems like every time my husband speaks I say, "what?" Before he responds again, I finally get what he said. He thinks I'm hard of hearing and gets testy, but I'm really not giving myself enough time to let what he said process before I open my big mouth. I'm going to have to adjust.

I've had neuropsych evaluations done for my cognitive issues, but they were done before I was diagnosed with BP. Medication wasn't an issue then. The problems were attributed to a combination of MS, depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Believe it or not, when I'm not hypo fatigue is a major issue. It's the main draw-back of MS for me. Add in sedation...

I'm really missing being hypomanic right now. I feel like a (expletive) idiot. It's absolutely amazing how the brain works. How could I suddenly become so functional (in almost every way) when I was so dysfunctional? Pick which way you want to be sick, Kay.

I had a bunch of tricks that made functioning this way easier. But I've spent most of the last year manic/hypomanic, so I've forgotten them, but I'm sure they'll come back to me soon.

I am sleeping, except for the occasional night when MS takes a few hrs away. I think all the Seroquel helps with that. I can't complain there.
