Hi Tepiaca,
Hmm, the dreaded hypomania? Who knows. Maybe a better question is, "is this revved up feeling bothering me?". How disturbed are you by this? Overall, does the Klonopin better or worsen your functioning? Is the extra energy getting you into trouble? If it is not bothersome or dangerous, enjoy it! That's just my philosophy, though.
By the way, don't some folks with bipolar use Klonopin as an adjunctive mood stabilizer?
I think Viridis might have a good possible explanation. Relief from the crippling anxiety is freeing up energy. I remember Klonopin feeling kind of energizing, especially at first. It relieved all the anxious fatigue.
Best of luck,
Matt
