Suggest An Alternative Medication For Klonopin Taken For Anxiety

Hi, My name is Breanna Passmore, My question is this, I am on Abilify (Bipolar Disorder Manic), and Klonopine, I am still rather restless and taking Klonopine helps with anxiety and panic attacks but does not help with the restlessness. Is there something else I should bring up to my next Psychiatric appointment? If So What? Also, what s the best way to resolve the restlessness (Inability to sit still, fidgeting etc.)
