I hope it goes well Passion, thinking of you! I can't remember if you e tried lithium but when lamictal didn't help me, lithium seemed to work fast. I still have bottle of lithium, almost went back on it this morning, but going to wait it out. Mainly for me, I prefer klonopin to the bp meds, cuz now I'm not in a major depression thanks god, and I just like help winding down during a freak out or help sleep at night.
