I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder about 13 years ago. First it was major depression because I was suicidal & hospitalized. The first med was prozac which sent me into a tailspin. I just realized my eyes are starting to close as my night time meds do their thing. My lamictal was increased & I was told it's ok to take the klonpin most nights. I've taken klonpin longer that any other med (I'm taken just about all of them, if anyone has question..)
Anyway, I look forward to connecting to others with the same issues.
welcome, hello there restless. klonopin was the first official psychiatric drug ,that ,i was put on. my sisters on it. as you will learn all about me from reading my posts [electronic writings] ,i have had deppression,manic deppression [bipolar disorder] ,temporal lobe epilepsy. all my life. but it was not until 1992 that i took medication, then i rebelled and didnt take medication consitantly until a few days after sept 11, when the towers came down. i commited myself and was in the hospital a month and a half being medicated.
i take lamictal 200 mg and risperdal 8mg. and i'am doing very well most of the time. enough about me .

Hi Clon Siter ! I mean Restless. I just got back from the ER, why, because I ran out of clons 10 days early. I have a major problem with them, and well, I will write more about this in the general section' Great to have you aboard ! Lynn
By coincidence, I was dx bipolar 13+ years ago. (June 93 so 14yrs this June). However, the first mixture of meds I was treated with at that time in 1993 didn't include Prozac. But as a matter-of-fact I am currently on Prozac, (actually the generic form), which works quite well for me as anti-depressant.
