I do feel worse when my kpin where's off. Whether it's rebound anxiety or just plain irritated at the world.

Try splitting your depakote to am and pm dose...

Idk, but to me it never made sense to be stabilized while I'm asleep, so spoke to my pdoc (because by midday I'd be struggling) and he agreed that splitting the rx was the right action to take.

I also take a benzo during emergencies.

oh I use a (very) low dose benzo PRN I just think the trouble is with the high doses. also yes klonopin helps bring ppl down and "control" symptoms but it's not a core treatment or anti manic drug. my Dr calls it a bandaid but not a fix.
they prob used it before atypicals because it would make some one atleast sleep off a psychosis but really they put everybody on lithium back then anywAy and antipsychotics were used much less in BP
antipsychotics were used much less in general
now they are one of the best selling meds on the market so make of that what you will

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Thanks for this!

Could you take some of your seroquel during the day to calm down?
