Clonazepam Help Me (Page 20) (Top voted first)

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.

I think you should call your doctor and tell them the problem you're having. They should let you bring in the bad batch you got and write a new script for the clonopin that you can get filled with a different brand. My doctor did that and she's pretty strict. Don't suffer!

Re: Chrissy (# 2)

I've been on Paxil, Ativan and other meds for many years but my doctor left so I went to see another so-called doctor (FNP actually) and he took me off everything cold turkey! I lost 29 pounds, couldn't eat or sleep and I sweat hard. I was never supposed to come off as I had 4 mental breakdowns. I finally found a doctor that put me back on these meds and I've gained my weight back. Can you tell me if I can sue this FNP for what he did to me? I was terribly sick and had the shakes really bad and he's associated with our hospital.

I'm not lawyer but it sounds like malpractice. I think your best bet is to report him or her to the state medical board. Lawyers generally don't want to sue unless there is a big pot of money waiting. Like if you were permanently disabled by a stroke caused by not taking the medicine or you died then your family could sue.

Re: Trish (# 376)

Omg Trish, my heart goes out to you. I had a similar situation and I called back the office right away because taking me cold turkey ruined my eyesight. Such incompetence out there today. I'm glad that you're ok after such an ordeal. Between some doctors and these pharmaceuticals companies we need to pray for God to protect us from them. I certainly hope that you can find a lawyer to sue but it's not easy lawyers don't like to take on these cases unless like the other reply told you it's got to be hundreds of people affected. But don't give up trying. May God Bless you it hurts to hear of so much incompetence and lack of concern for patients.

Re: Mouse (# 374)

I gotta agree with mouse on that if you have the klonopins on the bottle it tells you the brand usually, if not go on the internet and look up the color, shape, and marking, and you can read about it, and who manufactures it. Then I'd research and find other people who have written blogs or statements and print it out, go to your Dr and tell the Dr, look I was getting this brand and it's worked great. Now I'm getting this brand and I'm having anxiety, no sleep and bad withdrawals. You may even call some pharmacy and see what manufacturer of klonopin they carry. If you find one that has worked for you, ask them is this your normal manufacturer's brand always because I have had a lot of bad issues with other brands... If so then just go there n fill it or have the Dr transfer you there. If they don't tell you, ask your Dr to write a prescription for NON generic klonopin, not generic brand clonazepam and you will get the real deal. Or if a manufacturer like Teva works, have him write it out and write "can only take brand name Teva" so then you get what you need.

Change to brand name or .5 every ten days BUT that will not work on this brand as it has been tested and there are only fillers no active ingredient. Trust me. I learned the hard way.

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.

Re: Sarah (# 373)

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.

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

Was this helpful? 0

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.
