Clonazepam Help Me (Page 20)

I have always used the same brand of clonazepam. However they changed what is in the medication. I've been gravely ill because my body can't take the change. Now I want to not take it any longer because it's making me ill. How can I detox slowly if I don't have a decent batch of clo that agrees with me? If anyone has any real information please let me know. I'm ill feeling every day if I take it it makes me ill and get withdrawal If I don't take it I get still getting withdrawal.

Re: Myrnamouse (# 377)

I think finding out the manufacturer of the klonopin that isn't working than asking the pharmacy you get it from how to contact that company and request a readout of all ingredients in that pill so you can compare it, the ingredients and measurements.

We all need to fight the FDA to produce the proper medications as they began with as I'm so sick and tired of getting generics and most times they don't work! For instance, I had to get some pain pills for the horrible pain I was having in my back and going into my hip and they didn't work at all~~highway robbery!! Let's all fight for the good medicines such as they were intended to be. I wasn't able to walk because of the pain and then got the awful medicine!!

Re: Trish (# 382)

Oh Trish, very well put. I'm sorry what you've been through. I know that I did my part when I first came across the bad Sandoz clonazepam. I call Sandoz and the FDA and not a thing was done about it, just a letter from Sandoz saying nothing was wrong with the medication. They didn't even check it because if they did they would've known that the medication was not right. I did my part and at that time I truly believed that they were going to do something about it. God only knows how many other people filed reports for bad medications and were disregarded just like my report. We live in a world that money has more importance than humanity. Please keep trying till hopefully you can find a manufacturer medication that works best for you. God Bless

benzo"s are one of the hardests drugs to shake off,sounds to me that you should contact the prescribing doctor, and tell him exactly what your post says. he will gladly help you to properly detox off them..IF what your saying is what you really want to do.LOL, thats how I would go about it. the alternative is get rid of everything in your house,and go COLD TURKEY,dont know your age but if your 21 a pint of vodka couldnt be any worse while going cold turkey.good luck.

You are not getting brand name. Brand name is Roche and they are a weird looking pill, with a K hollowed out In pill.

I just started taking 2 mgs of Clonazepam. Should it melt in your mouth and should it have a mild minty taste?

There are two 2 mg clonazepam tablets by Northstar. What's the difference in the one that is scored and the one that is not?

REPLY

I have had other brands of clonazepam (1mg) that are scored but unfortunately I do not know about the manufacturer called Northstar. My pharmacy is telling me that the tablet is scored, as per them - a small indentation. The brand has E 64 on one side and nothing on the other side.

Re: JD (# 372)

Hi Jacqueline, you haven't posted how you've been doing on your meds in three months. Hope that you are doing better. My eyesight is still not good. I'm trying to get around regardless. Please let me know. Hope that you had a Merry Christmas and I pray that you have a blessed and much better new year. Keep in touch. Currently I'm on the Mylan clonazepam it seems to be the one that works best after that horrible Sandoz garbage that destroy my life. But the last think that I'm going to do is lose my hope and I hope that you keep positive in spite of your struggles with the garbage meds these pharmaceuticals companies are producing these days. Hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Sarah (# 20)

Have you tried Lorazepam (Ativan)? It is a sister med to clonazepam (Klonopin). I have been on anxiety meds since I was in my early 20s. I suffer from acute Panic Disorder. In the 80s it was Valium they prescribed patients. Then it became (HORRIBLE) XANAX WHICH is by far the worst... hits you hard... that is another family member of these benzos. I then began taking (as needed only) Klonopin...then switching to Ativan. Very similar... I want to stress that if you haven't formed a habit of having to take any of these benzodiazepines on a daily basis, where your tolerance level becomes so high, please be careful. These are no joke. They are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE and cold turkey abruptly will be your worst nightmare. I won't go into detail, just do your research please. An honest doctor will tell you the truth. I've been through it, and it's Hell.... they say it's harder than kicking any opiate and you feel like your dying. Take as prescribed and don't abuse. Run out a few days early? Or accidentally misplace them? No one cares. No early refills. Plz plz don't end up like I did. Take as directed and only as needed. It's so easy to build a tolerance to Benzos. Mix with alcohol and it could be fatal. Statistics show. Hey. If you need it take it. It's saved my life many times.. and I can leave my house and function in the real world. Sorry for the novel. I'm just trying to help shed truth on the risks of abuse. It happens.... so if Klonopin isn't working, ask your trusted doctor about Ativan. Btw. SANDOZ brand Ativan is not very effective either I find. At all. WATSON is highest rated and most effective. Love and light.

Re: Jay4real1000 (# 94)

I know this is an old message but I must tell you that your story has moved me to tears. Any good woman would admire a man so dedicated to helping his ailing mother! I come to these forums at times to read about other's struggles to try and find inspiration for my own. I never post anything though. I find Sarah and Jacquelines friendship and support of each other beautiful as well. I'm horribly depressed by the healthcare establishment, all Drs, the filthy FAD and the poisonous medications they pass off as so called help. Even when they do help, you either become addicted to them or suffer from another ailment due to side effects. I pray for Jesus to come soon, the world just ain't what it used to be and will continue to worsen.

Re: Sarah (# 383)

I believe the reports to the FDA are just part of the data they collect on people who have had side effects from their drug. They then look into the complaints that are most common. They don't personally respond to your report as this is more about quality control vs customer service. Call the actual manufacturer of the drug instead of the pharmaceutical company. They may be more helpful as they only do the manufacturing. Many are in other countries though....like Accord has their meds manufactured in India. Good luck and always remember you have RIGHTS!!!

Re: Jenn (# 396)

Thanks for your concern but I've already tried the Accord and they didn't work well for me. I'm glad that you found a manufacturer that you're able to take. I'm ok with the Mylan but for the last two months I've been having a hard time finding them. They were on backorder for a while. I called Mylan and they said that the 100 ,ct was on backorder but that they have the 90 and 1000 ct but none of the thirteen drugs stores I called had them. I'm going to try again soon. Again thanks for your help.
May God Bless you!

Sarah (# 398) --

Hi. I'm in Eastern NC and I know Walmart sometimes would have 1mg accord blue and 1mg teva. Now I get 2mg teva white ones and they are great. They have somewhat of a minty taste if u chew them or after swallowing them, but u gotta call around and before u get any new script filled if it's newly written check every pharmacy for the brand u want n ask them if they always have it because if you for say get a script with 3 refills u can only transfer that med 1x. If it's a new script go where u want. Benzo WD is so awful I wish I never took them as I cannot get off. Why? Because I never have enough taper, it's like ok I want off these pills please put me on a 4 to 6 month taper starting with a long acting benzo (kpins or Valium) at higher MG per day n slowly decrease me until I'm down to nothing so my brain n gaba receptors can heal n function. If not n forbid I run out which I've been blessed IDK how for this long. I went only 24 hours once n I was on the verge of seizures and I was pacing my driveway n out of my mind. I can't function, talking in jumbled stutter, can't go to work, hot and cold, no sleep n no eating for literally 2 weeks. Last time I kicked I should of stayed off. I was 100lbs n detox here is 7 days of only 3 to 5 Valium, n it's 10mg 3x daily for 2 days n down hill from there. I'm struggling but trying. And I'm on methadone so I'm tapering off it 1st then I can go freely to see a psych who can help. It's hard n I've been an opiate addict for 27 yrs on n off. And I'd rather quit opiates over benzos cause u don't know when u will ever become normal again. I'm trying. Anyone know of any help out there to taper let me know.
