Clonazepam 0.5 Mg Teva Vs Accord (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I recently received Teva clonazepam and it worked great. Two weeks ago, I received clonazepam from Accord Pharmaceuticals and it was like a placebo pill. Has anyone taken this medicine By Accord and have you noticed a serious difference with it not helping? I've never had a generic never work before. I don't know what to do. All pharmacies in my area are now going with Accord Pharmaceuticals because it's cheaper. Help with an answer please.

Accord Pharmaceuticals is not based in China. They are a UK company with plants in now in several other countries. North Carolina is where my clonezapam is mfg. according to my pharmacist and their website. I think all these new generic companies are subpar...theyre not teva watson roxanne rhodes qualitest etc . It sucks!

Yes,I had the same experience with Clonazepam. It does not provide much sedation.

I'm off Clonazepam now, tired of pharmacies s*** and the doctors, so went to a psychiatrist that deals with people getting off there meds and followed his plan. 1 yr later, and after 15 yrs on this death pill, I have no lingering side effects, but do miss it. But the way the world is going and my insurance I couldn't trust them anymore because they kept changing the brands on me (and yes a huge difference from teva to accord), so I decided to quit playing CCP's games on my meds. Couldn't rely on pharmacy to get good meds, so for what it's worth, good luck to all and get help with proper people to get u off clonazepam or go through some scary times. Thanks to all. Good bye and good luck

Doctors just weened me off the s903 green monsters with the 1MG C-1 , Blue Accords and they definitely work in my opinion coming from a recovering addict.

Is another brand of Conazepam available that I'm not aware of other than Solco which I prefer to avoid, or the non Generic which is rather pricey?

I've been taking Accord 0.5mg for years with no issue. Not sure what to do when I run out of my script of Accord cause it doesn't sound like either TEVA or Accord will be on the market anytime soon according to what I got today by both companies!

From Accord: One of the sites that manufactures Accord’s products was subject to an inspection by the FDA that concluded in early December. At the conclusion of the inspection the inspectors issued observations that Accord takes very seriously. As a result, Accord has stopped manufacturing certain products for the US market in that facility and has put products at Accord’s warehouse in the US on hold. Clonazepam is one of those products. Accord is working with FDA to get its products back on the market as soon as possible. No date as of yet will follow up if I get one.

From TEVA (which I've not taken, might have to at this point was told): Teva 1-2mg should be back in action by later this month or Early May. Teva 0.5mg will be back in action late May to early June is what I was told today.

Thoughts anyone?

I heard that the FDA is looking into accord for adding something to the medication that made it more addictive. And pulled (recalled over 20 meds.) Now the accord website says they are having manufacturing issues. And don't know when they will be able to supply pills again. But the US has stopped the sale and use of the company until the investigation is complete.

Accord is the only clonazepam that works for me. Teva is like a sugar pill. I need my medicine been on it for many years.

Same here Salgal. This is absurd to make us suffer like this. The Teva is not an acceptable substitute. I cannot believe the FDA lets the drug companies get away with this.

Re: cherie (# 45)

That was other meds Accord makes. They were pulled until the issue was fixed. But the company voluntarily stopped making clonazepam out of an “abundance of caution.” That’s terrible for us. If the drug is ok I say release it.

There is no date to come back. Probably when they make the decision. Hope it’s soon. They stopped producing voluntarily so who knows.

Re: Kita (# 63)

I have a GEM20 Scale that my wife files and weighs them on as I taper slowly about 3% every two weeks. I finally gave up on TEVA, I wasn't getting better. I had a compounding pharmacy make me a liquid compound from Ora Plus suspending agent and pure pharmaceutical powder. So no generic or extra excipients, just straight K in a suspension. So far I am feeling much more like myself mentally even though I'm feeling rough physically with the change with night sweats, insomnia, severe stomach pain, etc. But my CNS is sensitive so I'm sure it's just the adjustment.

Re: Salgal (# 65)

Accord is the only one that works for me too, at least I haven't found something else that does. Im not switching to another drug, K worked I just need to find a brand that does the same thing. I was on Ativan years ago but it wore off and I had horrible tolerance and interdose withdrawal. K made me feel totally normal, even as I tapered off slowly. I would like to think that in time everyone would eventually stabilize on any brand. I mean I know it doesnt work that way, but whenever people start a benzo, they generally work at the beginning, and nobody cares what brand it is. It is the switching that throws the brain off. It causes things to destabilize and that doesn't settle quickly. I've even heard of people who switched back to brands that used to work for them and they don't work as well. Again, it is the brain's resistance to change that is the issue. That being said, if Accord was released tomorrow I'd be first in line to get it.

Re: Kita (# 71)

My wife cuts it in half and then files each half down with a nail file to my current dose. We then weigh it on a scale.

Talked to manufacturer like many did here. Just like a few of you said, it should be back in a matter of months. She said Oct/Nov they should be receiving information as to the start date and she anticipated it could be around the end of this year, start of next. So possibly 4-6 months. She said definitely not longer than a few months, a few meaning what I just said. So that's good. She was confident in that and I asked her several times to be sure.

Re: mikeyjoed (# 73)

Meanwhile I’m tired of cutting 2 mg Accord into a quarter piece, then trying TEVA which was like a sugar pill. Had withdrawals. Then SoCol which crumpled up when cut and disintegrated before I could swallow it. Finally said my mental health is important and got the real deal. Loving feeling good again and not that expensive. It’s Klonopin for me. Please don’t take that away too!

Accord is very superior to TEVA In my opinion. TEVA is like a sugar pill. Sent me into withdrawal. I’ll take ACCORD anyway.
