Accord Clonazepam (Page 2)

These are horrible, Accord Clonazepam. I'll be glad when I get my new script and can go back to TEVA.

REPORT

I have always taken Teva Brand 1mg clonazepam for my anxiety and panic disorder. Teva brand has been very good and reliable. After picking up my monthly prescription at my pharmacy I saw these little blue pills (the Accord brand). UGH! I might as well take baby aspirin or sugar pills because the 1MG clonazepam by Accord does NOT METABOLIZE in my body. I just started a new job last week and my anxiety has been off the charts. Mylan Brand clonazepam does not metabolize in my body either. Life has been absolute hell this month. I started having panic attacks at age 16 and now I am 51 years old. I had to call around to several pharmacies to find one that carries the Teva brand. I'm sorry that we have to deal with this crap.... having a disease or disorder is bad enough.

Yup. They're supposed to be the same. Generics are definitely not the same. I can't take TEVA or Sandoz. I can barely take Accord. It is too strong for me and maybe it drugs me but doesn't metabolize for me cuz it causes stuff I never had. For me, Mylan worked. I am tolerating Accord but it is just too strong for me but causes anxiety which I never had before - it's new to me to feel anxious. I took the Mylan just for sleep. Feeling anxious is horrible. I know it's the accord, not me. I hope you find what works for you. We are ALL different.

Re: Michele (# 21)

This is just an Accord user because Mylan isn't available. The Accord got so bad that I did a lot of research and in about three weeks, I tapered down to .125 mg, two or three times a day. I'm no longer dopey, the anxiety is hardly ever. If I don't feel anxious in the afternoon, I skip the afternoon tiny chunk. The Accord also gave me a giant headache and my heart was way too noticeable. Even one fourth of the Accord was toxic to me. There are different ways to taper. This worked for me - check with your doctors on tapering. I just got very lucky most of the side effects are gone or minimal. I still wake up a lot but I did that before the Accord due to all night radio; drift in and out. I'd rather take the Mylan. I can wait it out now.

Re: Ames (# 17)

These drugs do One thing to one person and something else to another. The only one that works for me is the Accord. The Teva is terrible. Another reason we are having problems with these drugs is that they are coming in from other countries. I received a prescription for Amoxicillin plus another drug and it is made in SLOVENIA. Not sure I want to take it.

Re: Matyilip (# 3)

Yes I'm with you. I never noticed or questioned generics. Nowadays we, the consumer get what they give us. Also a pharmacist told me Medicare/medicade get the cheap stuff. Those with non welfare get the best quality. I personally preferred Qualitest until they stopped. Now I have been on benzos 25yrs my tolerance is so high I just stay out of withdrawal on any brand. The Accord 1mg are fine. The worst which I hear people prefer Teva the 1mg put me in withdrawal. So as my beloved Dylan laments even today "the times are a changing". I supplement with xanax occasionally but it's not about quality, all about quantity for a business now. I swear there are different effective pills in each batch. I hope someday to be free or can I get brand??? Do they still make it? God bless

Re: JJ (# 11)

I just received the Accord yesterday. Pretty bad, very weak. I would give anything to get any.other manufacturer clonazepam than Accord. I think it has more fillers in it rather than active ingredients. All pharmacies in my area carry Accord and no other brand. I'm stuck and when I run out if this batch I have no other pharmacy to use. Accord is the cheapest and that's why pharmacies are buying them. FDA needs to check and see if these are substandard. To me, they are terrible.

I've always taken Teva for 25 yrs and now today I got the Accord. I really dont like change with this medication. As stated previously by someone, this is just keeping me out of withdrawal. I dont feel it's very effective and if the Accord is less effective and makes me more dopey I will be seriously more dow. I just wish I never had to take the meds. In the beginning the brand name klonopin was like a miracle cure. Now i always have anxiety. I think the longer you're on it the more you notice differences. I guess we'll see when I take the Accord this week. I guess most wouldn't understand but people on this drug, but I feel I like I cant be on it or off the meds. I never abused it but im dependent.

Re: Verwon (# 1)

I have called my pharmacy and all pharmacies in the Houston area. They are all giving out Accord and they don't work for me. My PCP didn't believe me when I told him I could tell the difference and I'm afraid if I keep telling him, he will just not prescribe them anymore. He gave me 45 and I've taken 2 at a time of the 1 mg which he told me to take no.more than 1 mg. Any suggestions? He didnt want to give them to me to begin with, but I've got anxiety disorder and insomnia. I've also called Accord and filled out questionnaire on their website. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Stirfry (# 26)

JJ we can't go to another city to get the script filled even by another manufacturer as the pharmacies don't know our docs. I guess I'm going to get off them completely and hope for the best. My anxiety will probably get worse along with my insomnia. My doc won't put me on anything else, so I'm screwed. If you have any ideas of way wan do, please pass the info to me. I am tired of dealing with these issues and like I said, I called Accord and filled out a questionnaireSccorf Nd the FDA.

Re: Stirfry (# 29)

I've taken Teva since the 90s and they work great. I just started the Accord and this is freaking me out because they're not doing anything. I feel scared as hell because I don't even feel like this is clonazepam. I'm on 3mg a day and if it's not helping I could get even worse. This is just the beginning of the month. I told my parents about this and they don't believe me. I'm in full panic mode and my blood pressure has shot up. I don't know what to do, please help.... Any advice?

Re: John (# 31)

Hi John. I have written complaints to FDA, Accord Healthcare and spoke to my PCP and pharmacist. The pharmacies in the Houston area are ALL carrying Accord with no end in sight. The only thing I can tell you is write, call, etc to let everyone know we are not happy with their product. My doc won't change me to anything else, so I'm trying to wean off it and try to deal with my symptoms. I think the more complaints that go to FDA, pharmacies and Accord, maybe I. To me this will change, but for now im just trying to deal with it and it's not easy. I don't know what else to say or do to make pharmacies, FDA, and the manufacturers listen to us with us, patients, k owing this product is NOT up to par. My doc won't even request from ins. Co. Name brand. Now my anxiety and insomnia are worst than ever. Good luck and let me hear how you are doing and if you might have any ideas. Take care ok

Thanks for your message. I'd call Teva as well and ask them to please start getting their product out. The shortage recently was because they had none in their warehouse. I've only been taking accord for a few days and I hate it. I'm speaking to my dr this week about the problem. Do you think it's a good idea to let him know lots of people are complaining about Accord? Teva never has given me a problem. It's like there two different drugs, the Accord is super weak and making me on edge. Sorry if I am repeating myself.

Re: John (# 33)

Hi John, I've already tried to talk to my doc about Accord and he looked at me like I am crazy. If you feel comfortable with your doc, talk to him and see what he says. My doc's MA told me patients have been complaining about generics not working. Like I said before, the more patients contact Accord, FDA, and pharmacies no one will do anything about it. Please let me know what you decide to do. Thank you and good luck.

I just found out today Teva will no longer be carrying there Teva brand anymore and are switching to Actavis. I've been taking Accord for around a week and have had back pain, felt way less results and had more depression and lack of motivation. So after 20 years the best drug Teva will no longer be available. I would call to Teva and complain if you prefer that brand. This really sucks. I'm considering getting off the medication now. Only Teva worked for me positively.

Re: Jenn (# 36)

That's good, Im glad it worked for you. It does nothing for me and seems the majority prefer Teva. I guess i'll try the Actavis next. Im getting off this drug. I can't depend on any consistency anymore with it.

Re: Mike (# 5)

I have been taking Teva Clonazepam for 13 years for panic disorder; it has affected my short-term memory, and maybe I have gotten too used to it. Last refill two weeks ago was made by Accord HealthCA and was filled at my local CVS pharmacy. Have noticed the change in my sleeping and an increase in dizziness. I will give it a couple of weeks before I give up and call my psy.

I was using Mylan and last month Accord was in my bottle. I wasnt getting the response I usually did with the Mylan but just thought I must be overly anxious. I went to the doctor after 15 1 mg pills over 2 weeks and NO BENZO in my urine. I then got another refill of 6, took 2 within 24 hrs and had a U/A showing NO BENZO. I took a different brand and within 2 hours my U/A showed Benzo. I cant get anymore refills because the doctors think I'm not taking it. I analyzed it myself also and NO BENZO. I think we are being scammed people....I have filed a complaint with ACCORD.
