Yes, klonopin is indicated for BP. I don't even feel tired from the 4mg and I have never had to change the dosage. Just to put it into perspective klonopin is an anti-convulsant and some people with epilepsy take 12 mg of Klonopin a day.
I don't take any Xanax or Valium. Just the Klonopin and only at night.

> wow, 4mg a night! i take 2mg a night, and most drs don't even like that. i also take xanax 4mg a day. one expert dr told me that xanax is bad for BP because it induces rapid cycling, but in my experien ce, that's BS. as for klonopin being indictaed for bipolar-- is that the case? klonopin, used at high doses during the day, made me depressed.
