I think there's a lot of variation amongst doctors. When I started, I was given 1.5mgs/day and bumped up to 2mgs/day rather quickly. When I had to take a benzo again because of a manic episode, I was given 2mgs/day for 3 months, then 1mg/day for 3 months.
I've known people who take low doses strictly as-needed and people who take 3-4mgs/day. 1mg Klonopin=about 20mgs/Valium, so its not a tiny amount, but its certainly no reason to be worried about being overdosed (back when valium was popular, standard doses were 30-40+mgs/day).
