Accord Clonazepam (Page 5) (Top voted first)

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

Re: Grace (# 44)

Hey Grace, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I'm feeling bad and depressed on the Accord brand too. I used Teva over 20 yrs. I contacted Teva and was informed they will no longer carry Teva clonazepam at all. I hate it as well. You should call there customer service and complain. They told me mid June they will be going with Actavis brand. I have no clue how it will work but the Accord is terrible. I have a drs appt wed and am going to show him or at least tell him about the results people are having. I have also had nausea, ringing ears, congestion, dry mouth as well as extremely depressed. Teva gave me no side effects at all.

Re: John (# 33)

Well, John, my first reply said I was going to wait a couple of weeks and see what happens. Didn't make it. Started with the headaches, nausea, then dizziness so bad I had to use a cane to get into clinic for a routine test. Then came the involuntary leg movement, insomnia, clenching of toes on my right foot, then both legs and arms tingling - thought I was having strokes. Debated about calling 911 on Saturday night, but called God instead and of course I got an answer - purse. Then I remembered I had some "old" Teva brand in my purse - very few, but enough to get me through tonight. Have tried to call my psy four times; no return call. Have called pharmacies - Cub Foods who said they had some 1mg Teva, which I can split; my close-by Walgreens has Mylan. The Accord tablets sent me into withdrawal; - as one person on this thread said - no Benzos in the Accord. That would be like going into withdrawal - sudden termination of meds. Hope someone calls me soon.

Re: Sylvia (# 46)

I don't feel totally in withdrawal but I don't feel good either. You would think with this many complaints that someone would take notice. Is Mylan any good Sylvia? I hope you feel better soon.

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.

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 (# 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.

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: 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.

John please, please be very careful getting off clonazepam. You can have serious consequences. Please get off it under professional care.
God Bless!

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 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

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.

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

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.

Re: Kathie (# 68)

Know it takes a long time to get used to them. As I said took me over a month and a half. What my Dr said your body goes through withdrawals, it could take some longer up to 6 months depending how much you take and how long. I'll admit I did get my pharmacy to find some Sandoz for bad days and used one yesterday, the Accord for whatever reason wasn't working as it had. I'm not sure if it's a new batch cause I got a new script or what. They are testing to see if the compound is missing something, and will get back with me.

Re: Barbie 616 (# 10)

Am I missing the point here? If it's clonazepam it should all be the same ingredients or it’s not clonazepam? If so u wud be getting the wrong meds!

Re: Kathie (# 71)

You are probably going through withdrawal if you are taking Accord because they have no benzos in them - which is what prevents anxiety/panic attacks and siezures. All Clonazepam is NOT the same, I don't care what Big Pharma says. I'm now on Actavis, which is not as strong as Teva, so I have to take an additional .25 mg in later afternoon, otherwise I have mild panic attacks until I take my 1 mg before I go to bed. Actavis does not have the same sleep-inducing properties that Teva had, either.
