I also have klonopin for when I need to 'chill out' it does work but only if I take it in time,, I have a tendancy to ignore the signs or tell myself I can handle it with no medsand I always end up with the same result, I need the meds, you'd figure I would learn. One of these days i may just accept myself for who I am deal with it!! I took on the position as a den leader for boy scouts during one of my high ends, I had so many good ideas,so many things we could do, I didn't realize just exactly I was getting myself into until I SIGNED MY LIFE AWAY!!!! I know it is a good thing to volunteer for but it has turned into a full time job and I already work part time. Just and example of the things I do as I start climbing the manic ladder !!! As I start to come back down I wonder where are all these good ideas!!! Anyways sorry i went off on something else.---Jen
