Clonazepam Ingredients Mylan Brand Vs Teva Vs Accord (Page 14)
(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?

Teva is much stronger, try taking half? It's sad but true... Mylan clonezapam is less than half as strong as Teva. Unless you had a reaction to the binders and fillers! Great answer, the first one.

Re: Mike (# 15)

I just now saw your post as I was researching the differences in the generic brands. I've been on the .5mg dose for about 2 years. Today, I picked up my refill & noticed the pill color was different. Realized it's due to the pharmacy changing manufacturers. The ones I picked up today are Accord & the RX was filled at Walgreens, as usual. I live in Indianapolis, but not sure if Walgreens stock varies by city/state. Maybe check your local Walgreens, if available? Good luck!

As I said in another post, if we can tell that certain formulations of drugs aren't as good (with the original version almost always better) because we clearly feel the effects, and if you can rule out the placebo effect, think about what that means for something like a generic version of say a cancer medication that may or may not save a life...

Just seeing this now in 2018! Yes Mike, I found that CVS by mail carries Accord brand. Such a relief. I’m back on my small amount and feeling fine.

Hi Eric, This may sound stupid but some of the pharmacies out there are that way and I know about cr**** generics lately. But make sure they are giving you the right drugs just to make sure. I'd even go further than the bottle label. Sometimes I wonder where they get these generics. Is it just to save/make money possibly contracting from some foreign manufacturer that doesn't have the right formula or may be skimping on something?. Just maybe the FDA needs to investigate, or possibly need it themselves Try to find out where the pharmacy is getting them from. I've noticed that I had a generic filled drug that I won't mention and my mother had the brand name of the same drug. There was a BIG difference .I will say that it was a sleeping pill. The ones I had, I didn't feel anything at all. Her's put me to sleep instantly..... And anyone that feels they are getting cheated from these generics, maybe we should try a little investigating ourselves. Whatta ya think?

Re: Barbie 616 (# 19)

Lazaro said it Barbie. "WALLY-WORLD"; as we call it in New Mexico- has got your Accord. If you call when they're open and make 100% sure its all kosher, you can set up an account, do your transfers, etc. ALL on their uh..."location on the world wide web" so to speak. While this topic of clonazepam is up, do any of you know a pharmacy that offers Qualitest clonazepam? It is better than the brand name Roche Klonopin. It's tops. Those blue tablets with the stylized V, unscored.. soft enough they start in your mouth instantly.. I will find them eventually. I love that I found RxChat.com!

I take Accord Clonazepam. It works great for ME. That doesn't mean it will work out for you. Every single drug works differently for each person. I took Teva and it did nothing for me. But I wouldn't tell you not to take it. It has to be your decision. You could go to other pharmacies and ask if they have it or if they could order it. Someone on here said that Wal-Mart uses Accord exclusively.

Re: Lucy Lu (# 6)

And the orange Accord works great for me whereas the Teva does nothing. ALL drugs work differently for everyone. So it's impossible to say that someone shouldn't try this drug or that. Even if one drug works for you it doesn't mean it will still work 6 months or a year from now.

Re: sara (# 2)

Dear Sara, you can call the pharmaceutical companies and request information (I get it by mail) about your meds. Or simply go to tevagenerics.com, Mylan.com, etc. and pull up the FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION that they legally must provide to the public; Skim ahead to "inactive ingredients" and write down or copy and paste to type a Word document listing all the inactive ingredients under each brand so you can compare. I did this myself with Mylan vs. Teva. vs Northstar. vs. Klonopin (brand). Good luck!

Re: Mike (# 15)

Wal Mart exclusively carries it. They used to be able to order any generic requested (THOSE were the days..) but now they've signed a contract with Accord to offer only their clonazepam. Another cool thing about Wal Mart is that they offer choice of a snap cap like the old days or child proof cap, unlike Walgreens. CVS also has this feature.
Good Luck man.

They don't write down the exact amount of the fillers not even on their website. Try taking Accord. Works great for me where Teva was awful. Every drug works differently for everyone.

I've been on Teva (blue) 1 mg Clonazepam for years. This week I went by and picked it up. I took one tablet at noon and by 2:30 pm, I was covered with red bumps everywhere; struggling to breathe. Looked at the pill. A different manufacturer. I took two benadryl capsules to calm down but now my head hurts. This one is made by Mylan. It's a lighter blue, similar to another Mylan, a light green colored one. I've never had a reaction to them before but the pharmacy states this will be the one I'd get in the future. I will go into withdrawals not taking my Clonazepam. I can't risk taking it and benadryl along with my other bedtime meds. Why can't pharmacies stick to one company rather than switching to a different one when it affects the patient's health. Unhappy camper.

I have beet taking clonazepam ( 2 mgs) for 23 years. Teva was the generic equivalent . But my pharmacist switched to the Sandoz generic I told him that Sandoz type was no good. Other people I know say they are not good at all. I Pissed Off my pharmacist. He said that Sandoz is the best generic. I reviewed this page and a few other websites. About 80 percent agree that Sandoz is crap. Ask your pharmacist. He/She
talk about the inactive ingrediances and binding agents If the Sandoz pill is crumbly and fall apart, the clonazepam is no good. I was told this happens some times because some one is not doing their job

I am dealing with this situation right now! I've been taking orange .5 clonazepam from Accord for 1.5 years at bedtime; now my pharmacy has given me TEVA yellow .5 clonazepam and I've been having anxiety symptoms every since. For about 3 weeks now. I discussed with my psychiatrist today and she said that the inactive ingredients can be different. Aha! Went to my pharmacy and they are no longer carrying the Accord brand. Bummer for me. I'm calling other local pharmacies to see if I can get the specific Accord brand. Seems like I have solved the mystery to this "new" anxiety. Thank you all for having this discussion as it makes me feel better just knowing there is truth in medicines being slightly different when manufactured by different companies (in different countries) etc.

For the past 6 months I have been taking 1 milligram clonazepam made by Mylan. In addition, this past month I was forced to take home Adderall manufactured by the same Mylan company. It would be an understatement to say that I had never before experienced such a prolonged, never ending bout of anxiety. It was only until my pharmacy gave me the Teva brand clonazepam that I realized that for months I had basically been taking a sugar pill. Unbelievable. To seal the deal, I had always taken Teva brand Adderall. When I was given the Mylan brand the past month I thought I would have a heart attack. It's sad that here in America, where mental illness is continually on the rise, that we can not be provided with a safe, consistent generic medication. It's true: all we need to do us follow the money to learn the truth of these multibillion dollar drug manufacturers. Scary...

I was on clonazepam 2mg by teva and they were s*** and I told the pharmacist. She gave me C2 and I can take just half and it does work better than taking 5 teva 2mg tabs. She even told me they're not selling them no more.

I have taken Teva 1 mg and 2 mg at bedtime.Teva has always worked best for me. Does anyone take Accord clonazepam? I have been using 2 pharmacies, because CVS does not carry 30 mg oxycodone. They do have Teva Clonazepam, but the rite aid, where I get my oxycodone only carries Accord clonazepam.

i can understand as the pharmacy has change my generic klonopin from mylan /teva/ northstar/ to accord health thats where i had my problem, the very first dose of accord 1mg gave me a serious headache, tightness in chest and severe nausea within a half hour, i was having a bad reaction to it, so not all generics are the same, i ended up in er, where they treated me, i mean wth, drs stated it must be the inactive ingreds that caused my reaction they gave a anoter relaxer ,stomach meds and beadryl and something for my head ache, of course the pharmacy would not takehedrug back, so i had to see the dr to get me diff dose to keep me from going into withdrawl
