Hey,

    Sometimes I get hypomanic and it sucks ass. I have the racing thoughts and aggitation. I take notriptyline and topamax. It sucks when i go to the store or something and someone takes forever in line. I want to snap and geek out or something. I feel like i want to crawl out of my skin and give up. I can feel the effects of being hypomanic the next couple days, becausei my sleeping gets messed up and i cant think clearly. When i was in the hospital my pdoc gave me klonopin whenever i felt like this. Now that im out, i dont have this option. I have a pdoc appointment going up soon. I want to ask him for the klonopin, but i dont want to seem like im a drug seeker or something. I have had controlled substances like adderall before and never abused it. How should i approach him about this issue? Pdoc's always make me feel ackward. Thanks for help. Matt

Can't say how to approach pdoc but I do take klonopin for anxiety but also taae more when I feel a mania coming on. It can be used as a mood stabilzer.

Hello,

  Thanks for the reply. I saw my pdoc yesterday and talked to him about being hypo manic and he listened. He then said, "ok. I'll give you something so you take immediately so you relax and calm down." After i was trying to find ways to approach him about it, he comes to me. haha. Well, him and my last pdoc talk together frequently. my pdocs office is in the hospital i went to when i went to the psych ward. I told him that my last pdoc gave me klonopin. He has these free coupons for Niravam. Immediate Dissolving alprazolam. i got 12 free. He said if i don't like them he would give me the other. take it easy. matt
