after 35 years on lithium for my bp2 (hypomania, no depression), it has taken its toll on my thyroid, parathyroids and now possibly kidneys. i take 1/2 klonopin daily for anxiety and .12 mg. seroquel for sleep. saw a new p/doc who wants me to try ability as my mood stabilizer but says i would have to use klonopin rather than seroquel for sleep. am documenting daily how i feel off lithium and this is day 5.
want to know if anyone uses seroquel or klonopin or anything else as a mood stabilizer rather than say, lamactil,
geoden or abilify as all my research indicates bad side effects which i know comes with taking any of these meds.
