I take 2 mg of clonazepam routinely and 1 mg as needed (but can really have 2 with permission). I almost never use the extras. I take valium (diazepam) when I am manic. It used to just let me sleep a nice 8-10 hours and be fine. Now I'm battling with it to get it to work at all so that's annoying. I've not taken it so much that I should have tolerance problems at the moment (I probably do after the last week but not before then and it was a problem then). I also take gabapentin mostly for anxiety (a low dose). I've used hydroxyzine with good results and propanolol a long time ago and I don't remember how it works

Cipralex is an SSRI and they can be stimulating and cause anxiety so that may contribute to the overall problem.
