I know what you are talking about...
and I am now Bipolar too as well as having MS. My neuro's nurse told me she often sees people with MS becoming Bipolar in time. She did also state there is no definite link.
I'm not saying that is your problem... MS does affect sleeping patterns. I would be up nearly 3 days straight with plenty of energy unable to sleep. Everything seemed doable.
This past Summer I became depressed...I reminded myself of the people in the Seroquel XR commercial. I was put on this drug and it amazed me how many problems were from depression and not what I chalked up to be MS symptoms.
Too, I can sleep on Seroquel Extended Release...Seroquel XR. No more Klonopin -- 3 to 4 mg nightly and still not sleeping. I'm now off Klonopin completely.
I am in the kitchen cooking meals I loved to make before the MS started in '92.
I don't know what the answer is for you. See a knowledgeable psychiatrist. Do NOT mess around with neurologists or your family doctor trying to medicate you.
Take care.
