Clonazepam Ingredients Mylan Brand Vs Teva Vs Accord (Page 9)
(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?

Welcome to my world. I found Northstar which is tolerable (barely) and now it is disc. So I am about to switch to brand Klonopin! Trying to get my insurance to cover more of the cost. As it is I am charged a huge penalty for getting name brand (by my insurance). If not I guess I won't get much for Christmas!

Just don't start with those drugs. And advocate for all the people already addicted to drugs with addictive potencial.Make Pharmaceutical Industry contribute to high quality treatment of the people addicted to their products. All of them .Make them directly responsible for withholding important information when developing, manufacturing and distributing drugs.

TEVA recently bought Activis, and discontinued manufacturing clonazepam, I guess since Activis already manufactures clonazepam. I had TEVA brand clonazepam for years, but when they stopped making it, my pharmacy chanced to Accord brand. I have read some great and some horrible reviews of Accord brand, so I guess I will have to wait and see. My TEVA runs out in two days. But Activis is now owned by TEVA

Well they make neither now. Good luck. You might try Valium or another benzodiazepine

I take 1 mg per day of clonazepam. I can only take the green TEVA or the MYLAN. All of the others make me sick.

You’re are for a world of hurt coming up. If my Dr told me that I’d find another because that is bs. There is no direct substitute for Klonopin. Honestly switch Drs now

I cannot take the accord brand. The side effects are horrific for me. I’ve been on clonazepam for over 5 years ( the teva brand) never had an issue. First night on accord I had every side effect.
To add insult to injury, I was told by my psychiatrist that they are no longer prescribing clonazepam and that in January I’ll have to switch to another medication.
I’ve been on the same dose for 5 years (0.5 mg) I cannot tolerate most medications.
Anyone else having these issues?

Re: Bugs (# 118)

Wrong... Actavis replaced Teva and is owned by Teva.
Northstar was manufactured by Sandoz but marketed by Northstar. Sandoz quit manufacturing so Sandoz and Northstar are no longer made.
From the FDA website: "Sandoz Inc. has made a business decision to permanently discontinue Clonazepam Tablets, marketed by Northstar Rx LLC

Accord is not good. Northstar is the one that took over for Teva, Actavis, & Mylan, but nothing but non-generic Klonopin.

Re: PurpleRayn86 (# 116)

There's no "mishandling of medications" by these companies, it basically just a business decision. You can't tell a company what they must manufacture. If Mcdonald's decided to quit selling hamburgers do you think you could sue Mcdonalds for it? The only way you could sue any of these companies is if the products they are selling don't meet the guidelines required by the FDA for potency. You may have a case if you had the pills tested then fought with the results from the test. That would be costly but have at it if you feel the need.

Re: RockerJ (# 115)

Absolutely, we all need to band together for a class action lawsuit regarding generic clonazepam and also generic Adderall... the FDA States- a 20% not 23% is acceptable in differences of the levels of the active ingredient aka clonazepam in this subject. If anyone would like to discuss a class action or a suit from suffering due to any of these mishandled medications that are not equal in any sort and some don’t even show up on a drug panel, {edited for privacy}, feel free to discuss with me.

Re: Beatadeadhorse (# 114)

Well the original poster liked the Mylan, and there are quite a few threads in which they do work for many people. As I said, everyone is different. As the FDA told me, contact our State Representatives, because honestly, they really shouldn't be allowing a 23% bioavailability difference between manufacturers. Especially pertaining to mental health medications. One minor difference can be life or death for someone with depression and anxiety. As for the consequences, when people dealing with the difference in quality control start obtaining lawyers and lawsuits are filed, maybe then it will get these pharmaceutical companies' attention. As the lady at the FDA told me, they are looking to make the cheapest product available to consumers. As long as it meets the bare bones quality measures, it's okay to put on the market. There are hundreds of thousands of forums regarding the ineffectiveness of name brand vs generic and from one generic to another with all types of medication. People say good look with that, but it's having the passion to do something about it, rather than just sitting and doing nothing. So I'd rather try than give up and feel like this.

Re: RockerJ (# 112)

Btw. I think you’re part of a small group according to this thread that liked the Mylan Clonazepam. They didn’t work for me and from this thread they worked for few. I’m trying to decide now on what day I should flush the remainder of these Mylan that I paid good money for.

What consequences is that, they have to hire more customer service agents or that your current wait time to get to a customer service agent will be longer? I wish you luck.

Re: Beatadeadhorse (# 109)

I gotcha. The problem is, when you’ve taken something for 11 years, it’s not that easy when nothing else is working. I’ve tried 5 different brands for Clonazepam, Ativan, Valium, and Ambien is for sleep, not anxiety disorder. Sometimes when you fight, like I am to relay the information to Mylan, and the implications of taking the drug off the market can do, is better than whining about it. It’s the only medication that has worked for me. Everyone is different. I’m trying to inform people of what I’ve learned and what they can do by calling these companies and letting them know that taking a product off the market, without fair warning, is having consequences.

Teva sold out everywhere they're sold. I understand telling the FDA about bad side effects, It's not made here but the distribution is here. See if insurance will work with your doctor. I will pray for brand name Klonopin. Good luck.

Re: Connie (# 103)

Hey Connie I honestly don’t believe that the Mylan brand was weaker. I currently have to take two pills of everything else that I have compared to the one pill of Mylan. My mother only takes clonazepam to sleep at night, and they recently put her on the Accord brand, and she says they do nothing for her at all. Herself and two other people I know that take it say the Mylan is definitely better for them. So I personally think overall that Mylan are just more effective for the treatment of anxiety than the other brands. That’s just my experience though. Don’t know which one is truly stronger or weaker, but effectiveness, hands down Mylan wins.
