"i am bipolar on 500mg lamictal, 1200mg gabapentin and prescribed klonopin. i am prescribed to take it 1.0 two times a day but don&#039;t need to often. when i am hysterical or very angry in which i want to hit someone or tell them off which happens sometimes you take half usually and it works. i take a whole one if its too much to handle. i don&#039;t use it all the time sometimes not even for a week. it&#039;s wonderful for those out if control moments! klonopin is much better for bipolar, to use than xanax. xanax had no effect in me at all!"
