Hello sir/ma'am, i'm 37-year-old male weighing 53 kg. My entire blood report including thyroid, vitamin b12 etc. Is normal. I have no other known illness apart from dry eyes. One month before I discovered that I think I have a bipolar disorder. Mania has occurred very rarely over my life so far, in 2007, 2009, 2017, 2020. My manias were not so severe: I did not see hallucination or nor was I psychotic but they did affect my personal and professional life very badly. They lasted for months and were also followed by the periods of depression. Some depressions lasted about a year. Last time my year-long mania ended just recently on 25/07/2020 (just one and half month before) and I crashed into a bout of depression. I couldn't sleep for 5 days and my stomach was churning with pain. Then, I visited a general physician on 29/07/2020 and he prescribed me medicines for acidity and arrest (clonazepam 5 mg). He prescribed this clonazepam for 6 days to help me fall asleep. With it's help I was able to sleep but i'm still still taking it even after one and half month. I researched a lot: studied, watched and read books about mood disorders and I think I have I have bipolar disorder. I found that clonazepam belongs to benzodiazepine family of drugs which should be taken only 2 to 4 weeks otherwise it creates dependency. Now, sir/ma'am, shall I stop clonazepam suddenly and switch to fluoxetine (20 mg) to help me come out of depression? I am still in depressive phase of my bipolar and still I am not able to sleep without taking clonazepam. You are expert in this field so please suggest me what should I do? I greatly appreciate your help.
