I take 3mg of Klonopin a day and it does help tremendously! If I combine it with low dose Lithium it really seems to help and I don't have to take as much Lithium.
Right now I am trying Geodon, which does cause some anxiety or mania or something and Klonopin helps.
I have been taking it for years and I couldn't live without it. It has been a God send for me. It acts pretty quickly which is great.
It can depress me. But, as I said, right now I am taking Geodon and that revs me up, so I am not depressed.
I could see how it could help when combined with a traditional mood stabilizer for those of us that can't tolerate therapeutic or high doses.
If I had to take a high dose of Klonopin as my main stabilizer I would need an antidepressant along with it, but I believe it could work!
