Ultram and Klonopin

I was diagnosed with BP2, over a month ago. I'm on 1000mg Depakote ER, 75mg Seraquel for sleep, and 2 mg Klonapin per day.

I've recently been experiencing acute attacks of abdominal pain. I went to the doctor, she checked me out for a urinary tract infection - no, I then went to th ER, where I got a sonogram and a bunch of other tests done. Nothing came up abnormal. My thereapist says its probablly stress related, I have been under a lot of stress lately.
However, at the Er they gave me Ultram(for the pain) 50-100 mgs as needed), claiming it wouldn't affect my other meds. But when I read the label it says not to tale with Valium. It doesn't say why. I think Klonopin is similar to valium, so am worried about taking both.

What is the interaction?

You are correct to worry about this.  these medications are additive, which means you are taking two dose levels instead of one, and there is a risk of respiratory distress.  If you need to take both, the doses must be adjusted downward by your doctor to get into the safe range.
