Yup, I was for awhile. Klonopin is the ONLY benzo that is indicated as a mood stabiliser for bipolar. Eventually I had to add Trileptal which has helped a lot, but I take 4 mg of Klonopin a day and I am not addicted and the dosage has remained the same for a few years. Klonopin also acts a antidepressant too.
