Teva No Longer Manufacturers Clonazepam (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Teva No Longer Manufacturers Clonazepam, and I personally feel it is a good thing. Teva, in my opinion, is a low-quality company who actually manufacturers 70% of their products overseas, in cities and communities I don't think you would want to live in. I find the change-over, in terms of most of my medications, including clonazapam 2mh hs to be more effective than before. There are, of course, individual differences, but this is how it is for me personally. Would anyone else care to comment?

Re: bandy (# 71)

Let’s keep trying to get TEVA original clonazepam back. Teva reps are asking people to email [email protected] to ask for it back. It’s the best I’ve had. Brand name Roche truly does not work for me-makes me wired and not calm at all, sadly.

Re: Ed (# 3)
I, too, used TEVA brand clonazepam for years and was suddenly switched to Activis with no explanation. I learned that TEVA had bought Activis Pharmaceuticals, and was no longer producing clonazepam tablets - but distributing the Activis brand instead.

Further research showed that, at least for now, TEVA *does* still manufacture 1 mg clonazepam in the orally dissolving tablet. My pharmacist, nor my doctor knew this. I had to find it out myself and tell my doctor. Your doctor has to write the scrip for 'TEVA ODT' (orally dissolving tablets), and you might have to wait for your pharmacy to order them and get them in for you. Like I said, my pharmacist didn't even know about these - she just changed me to the new brand with no warning, bounced me back and forth between Accord and Activs - both utterly useless for me. Different people react differently, but if you have a problem with these other brands, tell your doctor about it, and ask him to write you a new scrip for the TEVA ODT.

If a medication is unscored it shouldn’t be split in half because it’s not evenly distributed and you won’t get an exact dose. Any pharmacist will tell you that. Clonazepam needs to be the exact same dose daily for me, if the new .5 Teva’s aren’t scored I’m gonna be screwed because Actavis will be gone and I’ll have to deal with Accord. I’ve grown accustomed to Actavis by now but it’s still an inferior version over Teva, Accord is just fake.

Re: Matt (# 99)

So true. Idk about the .05 which I take but the rep from Teva said the 1mg wasn’t scored because it wouldn’t provide equal distribution. I had problems from the old Teva 833s I use to take not being consistent month to month. They were manufactured in Israel so I’m sure that had something to do with it. I have a feeling that’s why they quit production for awhile. The Accords I take now are consistent even though produced in China

Re: Joseph (# 103)

Just FYI: It’s not an urban myth- by FDA guidelines generic manufacturers can be within 20% +/- of the stated dosage & it will still be considered an acceptable generic to sell.

I broke my back over a decade ago & way back in the mid 2000s Ethex got in a lot of trouble with the FDA & got banned from producing oxycodone because they were putting up to 40-41mg of oxycodone in their 30mg Oxy IR pills. 36mg would have been the maximum amount they would’ve been able to put in their oxycodone pills while remaining within FDA guidelines on generics.

This is an old thread but I have been on clonzapham or Klonopin since 1997. Fortunately, I'm down to 3-4 daily. I saw how much it effects the brain etc. Ext.short and long term memory. If severely effects your cognitive abilities. I must thank God. I kept praying to get off of it. I'm doing a slow taper. Anyone on this stuff knows how bad the withdrawls are. I've taken all brands including the brand. I always get Teva 1mg.I have really become aware how severely impaired benzos will do. I would get off of it asap under a Drs.supervision . Godspeed!Roxanne.

From what I can see on their site, they still list it as being currently manufacturer. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability.

Where did you hear that they discontinued it? What company manufactures the ones you are receiving, now?

I couldn't get Teva the past two weeks and I'm trying to adjust to a different generic, not fun at all. The new generic doesn't work as well for me, I'm taking 3 or 4 times as much (a low dose of 1/4 mg/day to begin with) and it doesn't leave me as protected. Not happy. I hope Teva returns, I had no problems.

Re: skipper (# 10)

Are you saying the Actavis is better than Teva? I've been taking Teva for over 10 years and was told by my pharmacy that they cannot order it. Kind of freaking out.

Re: L (# 6)

Hi,
I take Clonazepam and it was working very well and my Cvs changed manufactures to the One company that still distributes it. Why are they discontinued? Does this mean only brand is going to be available?
The recent one hasn’t worked for me at all. I don’t know what to do. Publix carries North Star but never heard of it.

I’ve been taking the Northstar brand for about 3 weeks since Teva stopped manufacturing them. Teva is in a lot of trouble right now financially, their stocks are dropping big time which makes me scared cuz I also take Teva Seroquel. The Northstar has taken some adjusting to, you won’t notice until about a week cuz it’s such a long lasting drug but I was finding myself getting really angry and depressed. I honestly think the Northstar May be a bit stronger than Teva because I’m not having anxiety just very gloomy depression which could be due to its depressant properties. I’m gonna stick with it and try to break the pills in a way that makes one half smaller than the other. I’m prescribed for .5x3 but only take 2.5 pills so I just toss the other half in another container, have like 100 half pills of various sizes. Northstar works, it’s actually the same pill that Sandoz manufactured years ago.

Re: Matt (# 17)

You are having a bad reaction to the replacement. Ask for another manufacturer until you get it right.

Teva still apparently makes their 1 MG tablet,or there is still a significant unused supply which can be easily cut in 1/2.

I had the same experience.... within 5 days perseveration.

Re: Izzy (# 15)

Teva's is a generic for the brand, Klonopin. Ask for that, telling your doctor and insurance company, who already know or should, for the name brand, telling them none is effective.

Generics are cleared by FDA for +/- 24% of the active ingredient. So a change leaves nobody knowing how much you were getting and are now getting, and thus the change, along with the ingredients that make it a pill,which are different and interact with individuals differently.

No, Actavis's drug is it's own. Teva bought Actavis, but the pill is of a different origin amd make up.
