Hello,
The typical dose of Klonopin for tardive dyskinesia is usually 1mg per day at first, which can be increased by 1 mg every 3 to 4 days up to a maximum of 4.5 mg/day if needed.
Normally Klonopin does not affect the kidneys at all, but it is highly habit-forming, and once patients start taking it, it is often very difficult to stop it, and your doctor may want to avoid prescribing it for that reason.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
