Suggest Remedy For Bipolar Disorder While On Clonazepam

I have been bipolar all my life started taking medicine for it at 30 I started with lithium 6 or 7 years ago I stop lithium and went with paxil because I lost my insurance and having to do blood work every 3 months. I had no energy with Paxil for several years. Doctor switched me to Divalproex 500mg which made me gain weight. December 8th, the doctor switched me to LamoTRIgine 50mg and it has me very sick and manic. I also take 30mg amitriptylin a day for headaches, and 0.5mg clonazepam for anxiety. What could you recommend me to help me?

Hello
In my opinion, you can take topiramate.This will help you in headache as well as work as a mood stabilizer. Taking antidepressants can worsen your problem.
Kindly talk to your doctor.
