Joe so you are taking an SSRI only? Why if klonopin worked will he not allow you to go back on it? I don't know what you options are of another doc. Here I have none. But do you? Phillipa

---Hi, sorry about your crappy situation. You can 'fire' your doctor and get a new one.(Well, I guess that does depend on where you live..) Clonazepam is great for sleep and mania, at good enough doses. Seroquel at bedtime is good for sleep and mania as well, and I don't think the short-acting tablet stays in your body long enough to mess up your diabetes. Can you say what country you live in?
Thanks,
Jay
