Thank you again for your experience Steve
OCD is another thing that hypomania kept at bay. Some of my symptoms are starting to come back now, but not on an epic scale. At this point, it's just taking longer to get things done. Prior to this recent long episode, I was on Zoloft. It was helping, but I absolutely can't take an antidepressant now.

I applied for disability about 9yrs ago, and have been on disability d/t MS for 7. Not mental health reasons. My BP disorder is not on the books because I was not diagnosed at the time when I applied.

I only started the Klonopin yesterday and it seems to be working slightly better than the Xanax for GAD, but I haven't had a panic attack
yet.
I'll give the Klonopin a week, but I'm probably going to have to try taking the low dose of Seroquel in the morning
and will probably need either Klonopin or Xanax, too.
Pdoc started talking about other options, but I'm obviously still very concerned about sedation. I'd rather retain control by taking prn meds than taking a daily med because once you take that kind of med you can't take it back.
While I'm dealing with a lot of issues right now, I am in familiar territory.
And I have to keep reminding myself that the most important thing is I'm safe and even. I fought hard for that.
