Depends: Klonopin (clonazepam) is prescribed mainly for anxiety, some mood disorder symptoms and for seizures. The dose range is generally lower to treat anxiety/mood disorders and varies depending on the judgment of the treating professional, who considers many variables with each individual. Suggest you discuss dosage questions with your prescribing doctor who knows you best.

BIPOLAR MEDS: The dose is adjusted based on response and needs to be evaluated in conjunction with other Meds you are on. Follow up with your doctor. In general you want to keep it low dose under 3mg/qd it can be difficult to taper off.
