I highly highly recommend propranolol if it doesn't interact with your bipolar meds. I've been on it since before my bipolar diagnosis as an as-needed and it helps immensely with anxiety, panic attacks, and Mania sometimes!! It lowers your heart rate :)

My doc put me on an “as needed” med for this exact situation; klonopin has helped me sooo much and honestly I’ve been able to not need as much from first starting since I can actually clear the cortisol causing anxiety lol best wishes to you 🙏
