I have a tendency toward anxiety and irritability. I guess its part of the BP disease. I can't remember the last time I felt all out manic and crazy happy (probably since I no longer take SSRIs or SNRIs).

I have had a hard time finding meds to take since most antidepressants hurt my bladder (frequency, urgency, pain, etc. from serotonin drugs).

What I have found that helps me sleep is a small amount of seroquel and klonopin.

Here's my issue, I have been very irritable and hard to live with lately (my poor husband!). I know I can increase my seroquel and klonopin, but I feel so groggy. But I know that I am not taking enough meds to deal with the problem properly. I only take 25mg of seroquel and .5 mg of klonopin at night (helps me sleep) and .5 klonopin during the day if I need it. In the past I have gone as high as 100mg of seroquel. But it's been so long I can't really remember how I felt.

What should I do? I am going to chase away everyone who loves me if I keep acting like a cranky, irritable ****!

Am I missing a chemical for my brain or do I just need more thank 25mg of seroquel to make me a better person?

Will the grogginess ware off so that I can be a productive, nice person?

Or, is there something else I should be taking or add to the seroquel?

Thanks for your thoughts.
