Clonazepam Ingredients Solco Brand Vs Actavis (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

I have been taking TEVA clonazepam .5 for years and it was very effective! Now I hear that TEVA does not make it anymore. I was prescribed it via ACCORD mfg with very poor results... headaches, nervous, and more. I hear that the are also SOLCO and AVTIVIS mfg. I need some input re which one would be better... or any others. I heard that the inactive ingredients have a lot to do with it. I also know ACCORD is made in China and have heard some horror stories about their clonozepam. ANY INPUT GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Anna, I can totally relate. The same thing happened to me on Solco. I would not recommend it! It was horrible! What is happening to our drugs? I'm glad you found what you needed. My brand was disc. for good (Mylan) and I've been thru 4 different brands but none were as bad as Solco! Good luck to you.

My Pharmacy King Soopers told me that they could no longer provide clonazepam by the manufacturer Teva. Instead they gave me Accord Healthcare brand. I did give it a try for a month and a half. I didn't know what was going on with my body but it felt like I was going through withdrawal symptoms. I lost my appetite, I couldn't sleep, I had confusion, my irritability was through the roof. I had no patience for anyone or anything. Four times I got up and it felt like there was an earthquake and the whole room was shaking, of course it wasn't. It was me that was shaking and I was told by the ER position that I was actually having a mild seizure and asked if I had stopped taking my clonazepam. So I transferred the remainder of my prescription to another Pharmacy that did in-fact carry the Teva brand. My symptoms all went away and I feel much better. I don't know about Solco MFG and quite frankly I'm afraid to try anything else after what I went through with the Accord brand.

Hi Johnny,

You're spot on about the inactive ingredients having a lot to do with the medication efficacy. In Canada the drug labels actually refer to them as "non-medicinal ingredients" instead of stating "inactive", and I think this is because they do affect the quality of the medication without providing any therapeutic value.

The challenge with determining which manufacturer's brand or generic one should take is that because we all respond differently, the only way to know for certain is to at least try it and give the medication some sort of trial run to allow your body enough time to adjust to any inherent changes within the tablet itself.

Everyone's unique input and personal experiences do matter, but I don't think they necessarily portray how you yourself will react or respond, even to the same medication.
