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

Walmart has the worst garbage of most generics. I would never use them again. I'm now at a mom and pop pharmacy and pray they don't get swallowed up by the big pharmas. I now get calls from the pharmacist if something's not right. Walmart, never happened. They truly suck.

I have used both the 1 mg green for the longest time and they (Rite Aid) keeps switching them out to the blue. I have not noticed a difference while taking them for many years for anxiety disorder.

I was on Sandoz Clonazepam 0.5 mg brand 3 to 4 times a day for over 8 years, sadly they no longer make it anymore I had to switch to Accord that was all my Pharmacy could find. My Dr got smart early on and given me the heads up and was able to ordered me some Sandoz brand to help me work into switching over to ACCORD as my replacement med. After slowly mixing the two taking away a little each day of the Sandoz until I was only taking ACCORD for a month 1/2 I'm doing pretty good. Had one bad day, other then that I'm not noticing much difference except it wears off a half hour less time wise then Sandoz did. That is fine cause my DR just added a couple of more pills to my monthly script. Anyhow I'm sure all of you realize it takes awhile for your body to get used to a difference med even if they are all suppose to be made the same way, least that is what my Dr told me.
Good luck all and don't give up

Exactly. Thats what I did. I got sick and tired of generic meds that are ineffective..I've been on brand Klonopin 1mg x3 a day. BTW, Teva no longer makes clonzapham.

Demand from the doctor actual Klonopin, the band name. Teva's problems cannot be allowed to screw up people's lives like this.

I like Accord and Teva is fine too, but I like Accord better, I also have sondoz, which I'm still not sure about, but I break my 1mg pills in half and wait to see if I need more and with accord I had 40 pills left at the of 30 days, it's take as needed and when I took the whole pill 1mg, I never made the whole month, I was always 5 days short. Now with Teva I don't know yet, I just got them and I just started doing this after 5 yrs, I hope it helps someone, I know it has changed me and the way I feel is night n day, I'm a lot more happier.

I take 1mg x 3 of generic klonopin and I find I always break the bill in half and wait about 45mins to 1hr, then if needed I take the other half, now at the end of the month I have 30 plus pills left , were I was always running out 5 days early before my refill was due, boy I'm happy now, I couldn't get my Dr to increase it for 4yrs and I'm also on opana for pain, which my phamcany called me and said they stopped making them , but name brand and insurance won't cover it. I been on pain meds and Xanax or klonopin for 35yrs, I never seen this bad were in some states you can't even stuff for pain or panic attacks, they say go to meetings, I don't have a drinking problem , these people that are dying are abusing the medications, I been taking it for 35yrs and I'm not dead or hooked, if I'm not hurting, I don't take a pain pill or if I'm not having panic feelings, I take less or none, that's why I had 35 pills left, I love my Dr, I can't move to another state because of this, it's all because no Dr will give you 300mg morphine, plus 90 pills 30mg oxycodone and 90 1mg klonopin a month, when I travel out of state for 4 months, my phamcany just mail them to me, I'm very grateful, you won't get this from Walgreen or any other chain phamcany

Re: John (# 49)

Okay, I'm back from the dead, after withdrawal, after Xanax, after two stents placed last Monday, and today I called CVS and was told they now have Actavis. After some last minute phone calls and an override by my CVS manager, I got a prescription from my doctor for about two weeks' worth, with a refill ability if they work. So now I start the rest of the adventure and I hope I find something soon. Will keep you posted as to how the Actavis works for me.

I just wanted to follow up on the Accord switch for the people having problems. So for twenty years I took Teva. It worked great but did seem to lose its effectiveness due to being on the drug so long but it was my preferred choice. Anyhow....In late May I was prescribed Accord and physically I felt bad on the generic. I was actually able to cut back a .5 many days because I didnt like it at all and felt more out of it..During this time was told after calling the Teva co. they were discontinuing Teva clonazepam. Well a few days ago I go to get my new refill and they had Teva clonazepam the exact same pill as before. The first day on the drug was fine and actually the first dose I felt a wave or relief but the second and third days it seemed I was withdrawing from the accord. I felt sick to stomach had rapid heart palpitations and head pressure. I also now have a really strange taste in my mouth.The Accord seemed to really mess with my sinuses and now that Im switched back to Teva those problems have lessened but I feel more anxiety than I did before the switch. Trust me I know it spunds crazy but flip flopping on generics isnt good is my point. I was fine on Teva and now seems I may have to readjust again like I did with Accord. I wanted to follow up and let those looking for teva know I dont know how or whats up but I was able to obtain some through my pharmacy. Who knows how the rest of the month will go or if I will be back to Accord next month. I just need to stick to one. I dont like the flip flopping. I hope this helps someone.

Re: Mylan Bestie (# 52)

Yes just got the Sol dol brand by request. They bought Qualitest. I know they dissolve quickly so I take them sublingually. I've been on clonzapham for 20+ yrs. Maybe it's just a question of tolerance but I know I liked the Qualitest brand best 1mg. 3x a day. However, I think it's time to consider getting the brand name. My insurance will pay but requires prior authorization. No problem. I have lots of data. I thought maybe it's just me but I read all these other threads. Generics really are becoming worse by the day. God bless

Re: Mylan Bestie (# 52)

Hello Mylan Bestie- I had to go to the ER yesterday - didn't sleep the night before, have been having side effects with Accord. Asked them to check my urine for Benzo - results were negative, which means there is no ingredient in Accord to help us relax, which is the purpose of clonazepam. No wonder I'm wired. The Accord is useless. Looked at my information sheet from CVS and Accord is made in India. ER doctor insisted I call my psy, set up an appointment to get the meds changed or I will continue to have problems. I thought I was doing okay - not so. See my June 13 message to John. Another person said she had had her urine checked three times - two times on Accord and no Benzo either time. Hope the Actavis comes out soon.

I can't believe it. It took over six months to get used to ACCORD and now Walgreen's supplied picked a real cheap generic clonazepam by SOL DOL which look a lot like Sandoz which led me to the ER. I am about out of ACCORD. Look out if you get used to ACCORD and then pharmacies stop carrying it. These generics are all different. Now ACCORD works but it took forever to get used to it. DARN DARN DARN.

Re: John (# 50)

Hi John - just wanted you to know that yesterday I was desperate - no return calls from anyone, had run out of everything but Accord, prayed that I would get an answer, called my PCP, who had been filled in about my withdrawal symptoms. I had found a few in my purse and tapered off the Teva. The nurse caught her as she was going out the door - end of day - filled her in quickly on my symptoms and that I was out of Teva. Dr. A got on the phone with me and said, "take two Accord - (my regular prescription w/ Teva) and if you need more, take another half a pill. Did you hear me?" - "Yes, I heard you." - "Okay, I'll repeat...." So I followed her orders, not knowing if I'd be alive in the morning because I was so scared. Woke up this morning, wondering if I would be dizzy - no dizziness, no nausea, no headache. I had slept all night. Feel 100%. Dr. A had said that I had gone through the worst of the withdrawal and I should start over with the Accord. It worked! Took my morning pill with my breakfast and I'm still okay. I think this is going to be a very good day. Yesterday morning I had taken the remaining 1/2 of a .5mg Teva, so I must have tapered off/weaned off the Teva and am going to have a fresh start. Whew! Scary stuff, but if you have a really great doctor that knows you well, tell him/her the story and see what Dr. says. Still have not heard a word from the Psy's office - do they care? Thanks for your kind words and encouragement, John, and all the others who have recounted their experiences.

Is anyone experiencing bad headaches with Accord? My head feels like there's so much pressure in it.

How does it compare with Teva? I'm curious if anyone has taken the Actavis brand? Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I may try Mylan. I don't want any drug made in China.

Re: John (# 47)

I haven't taken Mylan for a number of years, but it was okay back then. If my doc gets that prescription to me I'll use it. It HAS to be better than Accord for me.
