The starting dose of chlorpromazine for bipolar disorder is typically 10 mg 3-4 times a day or 25 mg 2-3 times a day. A doctor may gradually increase the dose until a person experiences the desired effects of the medication, which could be 400 mg/day or higher. The dose will vary from person to person.
