Klonopin(clonazepam) is closer to valium than xanax because it increases the action of GABA neurotransmission. Still, I dont think it would have any effect on your anger or mania. It sounds to me like you might get more from treating the bipolar disorder before the anxiety because uncontrolled mood swings tend to be expressed externally while anxiety is an internal issue. Are you in contact with a psychiatrist who knows about your manic episodes? This isnt a problem that will be easily controlled without immediately attending to your mood swings. I would suggest that you get in touch with your doctor or a psychiatrist and tell them about your mania. If you dont wish to do this I could recommend looking for any behavioral psychologists offering assertiveness training. But I really really suggest meeting up with a psychiatrist.
