Clonazepam Ingredients Mylan Brand Vs Teva Vs Accord (Page 11)
(Newest replies first)

Please help with this, i have taken the mylan brand for several years, when the pharmacy could no longer order it they ordered Teva, it immediately gave me pains that seemed to be in my chest....kind of the opposite of what it's supposed to do. So with Mylan being available though only two pharmacies, someone mentioned accord...but what is the difference of fillers. could you simply list all the ingredients for all three brands so if Accord matches Mylan i'm ok?

Re: Sylvia (# 65)

I keep trying the Actavis and it starts the itchies everytime. Now I thought I had found the answer Northstar which I kept going back to, now IT has been discontinued!! So I am up against a wall. And still itching - every since I took Actavis after the horrible Solco experience. Here's a interesting fact. My doc gave me a trial RX for lorazepam to try half the day to see how I feel on it (which is not great!) BUT I don't itch for that part of the day! I've been itching so much I had blood tests done, but was told it is probably allergy (season). My husband and I both believe it's more to it. I have less than a week to get with the two docs I am working with to make a decision before I run out of Northstar. I'd bet my bottom dollar that if I had some Mylan left, it wouldn't make me itch! I'm beginning to wonder if Mylan was a very weak drug,like a sugar pill!! I know, generics are created equal, blah, blah, blah.......

Hi Maggie. I have been using the brand accord for awhile now, and have had no issue's with this one, clonazepam does what it says, but constant use will make it seem it isn't working anymore, so i just take 1mg every other day so it doesn't seem like it does not work.

Re: GSH (# 82)

I absolutely have a prescription. 90 x 1mg Klonopin a month for well over a decade. All have been TEVA brand until recently. My next refill is in 2 days, so I appreciate the CVS and Walgreens recommendations very much. I will have my prescription transferred from Kroger (Accord only) in attempts to get Actavis or name brand Klonopin. I completely respect the law and the effects benzos have on me. At this point, I want to get off of them completely, because this is a disaster. My next doctor's appointment is September 20th, so just trying to survive until then. I will tell them exactly what's going on, and ask for a plan to wean off benzos completely. Even though I'm also prescribed to one 1mg XANAX a day, I don't like the short term effect or the feeling compared to TEVA Klonopin.

I don't have a Psychiatrist (yet), but am hoping my current family doctor and/or nurse practitioner will get me through this. In the meantime, this site and discussion thread has really helped me out. Only here can I find anyone that can relate, nowhere else, and that alone is helping me cope tremendously. Thanks again everyone

Re: Max (# 81)

CVS usually has brand name in stock and Walgreens can order any med you HAVE a script for. Nobody’s going to order anything if you don’t have a script. Pharmacists could care less about your current situation from what I’ve noticed over the past few years. They ’re concerned more about following the laws regarding dispensing meds appropriately and making their numbers rather than customers feelings- Sorry to say.

Do you have a family Dr? Go to your family Dr and tell them what’s going on. They can get ahold of your Psychiatrist or they can prescribe another benzo until you can get to your psychiatrist. My family Dr will prescribe any benzo I asked for. Don’t be afraid.

Re: Eric (# 80)

I really appreciate the quick responses, but am extremely nervous about the whole situation. I left a voicemail with my doctor's office two weeks ago explaining the situation (had some TEVAS left), and never received a callback. I'm now out. I also talked to 7 pharmacists in the area, and none of them knew what was going on, or sounded concerned at all. They won't even order the brand name Klonopin for me. If I go to the ER, and hopefully find someone that knows about the TEVA situation, what do you all think they might do for me? I'd normally be sound asleep right now with no worries and ready for work in the morning. Instead, I'm wide awake sweating, shaky, and feel like I may end up in an ambulance tomorrow if not earlier. Obviously I won't be able to wean off using the Accord, so I feel like I'm at a complete loss. This is the worst experience I could ever imagine.

Re: Max (# 78)

If you are having accord, you are n withdrawal, and you are justified in goingto the emergency room, let alone your doctor. Bring your bottle, they'll look at the date, th instructions, and count the pills, and they know about the TEVA problem. if not explain it to them.

Re: Max (# 78)

If you were prescribed Xanax then take the Xanax along with the prescribed klonopin when you need the Xanax for like sleep and for panic attacks. See a Dr ASAP

Please help me. I already had a seizure 20 years ago from quitting benzos cold turkey. Have been prescribed and taking 2-3MG of TEVA klonopin a day for the last 15 years for anxiety and sleep. Now I've been switched to Accord, and after only 3 days, feel like I'm going to have a seizure again. The feeling is horrible, and the withdrawal systems are extreme. I'm also prescribed to 1 1MG of XANAX a day, but haven't been taking them because the TEVA worked so well for me, so I have a bit remaining. Is it safe too wean off klonopin completely with XANAX? Can't see my doctor again for 30 days, and am really scared for my life, literally. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. At least this thread confirmed what I feel, the Accord klonopin does not contain any benzo and it's really messed up the FDA would just force people to quit cold turkey and risk their lives.

Re: Ez18 (# 76)

Yeah right contact Teva. They’re in it for the money. Glad the Brand Name worked, it made me depressed and foggy minded

Well, I have full bottles of Mylan .5s & a full bottle of Actavis .5s. Then I tried Name brand Roche .5s (did so so). Then tried Teva Diazepam (helped very little). So I had my Dr. put me back on the name brand. None of which can touch the Teva's Clonazepam. Smh. Anyhow all we can do is contact Teva and maybe they’ll bring them back :)

Re: RockerJ (# 74)

You may try the route I’m thinking of going which is the generic klonopin on the oral disentigrating tablets. There are 3 manufacturers that make it - Teva, Parr and Sun. They supposedly kick in faster as they don’t have to pass through the stomach.

I can tell you from experience the Xanax is not the path you want to go. They are short acting and are accompanied by rebound anxiety.

Re: GSH (# 72)

I have another appt on Aug 21. Honestly I feel lost and helpless. I'm taking Xanax in the evening to take the edge off, but that only lasts a couple of hours. I am not understanding how even the brand name Klonopin isn't working for me either. I mean its been over a week, about 2, it should of kicked in. It's not like I'm switching to a different medication. Its the same thing except different manufacturer. This is so messed up. Thank you Mylan for discontinuing the medication, no warning, nothing. I'm very pissed to say the least. People's lives depend on these meds, and these pharmaceutical companies could care less.

YES, Lucy, they switched me to Accord generic-maker & it had a horrible effect on me; made me feel real lousy, unlike before w/Teva maker.

Re: RockerJ (# 71)

So what's your next step? You could get your Dr. to switch you over to Valium. It's longer acting then Klonopin but takes of few days to build up in your fat tissue. My Dr switched me over a while ago when the klonopin I was taking was wearing off too quick. I didn't like it better then Teva clonazepam I was taking but its probably a better option then the clonazepam generics we are left with now. I was taking the Watson generic.

Re: GSH (# 70)

Same here. Just got the brand name Klonopin approved and is like a placebo compared to the Mylan. I felt normal on Mylan and not foggy headed, anxiety ridden, or feelings of a panic attack coming on. The high pitch noise in my ears along with the headaches are unbearable. The Brand Name Klonopin and Actavis has caused severe withdrawal symptoms with the ringing in my ears and headaches. And the feeling of severe anxiety, which it’s supposed to prevent...

Re: Sylvia (# 69)

Like ive said in other threads, the name brand klonopin is trash and is not worth the money. It left me foggy minded and depressed. In my opinion the Actavis or the Mylan generics were better but no where near Teva. I have stockpiled about 175 Teva pills after thinking something like this would happen. (I constantly worry about stuff like this happening) I only take one .5 mg at night so that should keep me happy for about 6 months until I can find another pill option or just give me time to come off this. I'm tired of these generic companies selling out to other companies and stopping production. This should not be allowed.

Re: GSH (# 68)

No, it is not close to TEVA. I don't want to pay the big bucks for Klonopin, so I'm hoping these will work eventually. My prescription says 3 to 4 tablets per day as directed. That means I can take another half one at 5 p.m., because that's when the panic seems to set in. I take two at about 10 p.m., but they don't make me sleepy like TEVA did, so I will probably take another half one at night now. I have a hard time falling asleep and wake up frequently. Big Pharma is determined to get rid of generics and make everyone pay through the nose or go without. They don't have a clue what they are doing to us.
