Klonopin Brand Name (Page 4)

Updated

I've been unable to find Klonopin (brand name) at any pharmacy. Although I've taken this medication for several years, this is the first time I've been unable to find it. I've been told the manufacturer (Roche) has it on backorder. Some say it's no longer available. I cannot take the generic as I get a serious migraine. Does anyone have any suggestions where I might get a Rx filled?

I've only talked with Gentech back in July and I spoke with a "corporate pharmacist" who told me that his avaricious drug company would have Klonopin back on the shelves in October. He said the FDA was holding up one of the ingredients. They supposedly wrote my side effects from generics down. If they straight up lied to me I will file numerous complaints. They still have about 1/2 month to get Klonopin back In stock.

That's unfortunate, but you are fortunate to have a doctor who cared enough to do that. My doctor acted as if it was no big deal. He insisted I could take the generic (tried it and was in the ER three times). And, Genentech has been telling us the wrong date intentionally, in my opinion. I won't bother asking again.

Pharmaceutical companies are required by law to report to the FDA in these matters a projected date. The FDA official website updated August 27th states it is unavailable and expected to resume supply October. I hope FDA updates their website so we will know more.

I'll try to find that info on the fda page. If I find it I'll look for a number to call so I can ask the fda what's up. I'd also like to know if they can do anything about ia company discontinuing a drug for a long period of time without any warning. Even if it's the result of fda regulations. I'm not completely sure a company can discontinue a drug for months without at least a press release.

Thank you Sound4heaven.

For anyone that hasn't seen the fda response, here is the link to the page and what it says. I also posted the fda's phone number if anyone's interested.

Klonopin is temporarily unavailable from Roche. Roche is projecting to resume supply of Klonopin tablets in October 2014. Generic clonazepam products are available on the market and there are no shortage issues.

I sent an extensive email to Tara Goodin, at [email protected]. She is the contact at the FDA for reporting adverse events, etc. Not only did I discuss adverse reactions to generic KLONOPIN, but also the lack of information made available to patients taking this drug. I complained that no only did any of my doctors seem to be aware but also the pharmacy didn't have any advance notice. I expounded upon the adverse affects this issue has caused for me and resulted in 3 visits to the ER. I decided not to mention that I would like to file a malpractice suit against my psychiatrist but if he had no knowledge, he should have. Oh, well, just another attempt to get attention to this issue.

Yes, please let us know. I know they did the same thing in 2011 but it wasn't the 2mg and later the 1mg they still were making 0.5mg. It took 7 months to get a refill. The pharmacist looked it up and they told me April, then May 22, then June and they actually had dates but I got my refill July 9th 2011 after waiting since February as I got a partial fill then it was actually out since January. I was told at the time it was being distributed and it took a little longer to reach every area in the country. They did at least give dates and were much more informative then.

I have now started taking brand Xanax as could not fill Klonapin. So far so good. I know there was mention of withdrawal but just began to take new drug. At least I notice a difference between the genetic Klonapin and Xanax and no bad effects. Hope the transition will stick. Have not gone back and forth with this type of medication before. Also the best scenario is the brand Klonapin is released. I don't think it is asking for much since the drug has been on the market for years.

I spoke to a pharmacist at Genentech/ Roche today and he said that the named brand Klonopin is supposed to be back in supply where you can get a refill depending on where you live and what the pharmacy distributor is, the last week of this month. They maintain that it is the end of October.
