Benzos Accord Pharmaceuticals clonazepam

[pensown]

I have had a 'script for 1mg clonazepam for a while now. Like the good majority, I preferred the Teva generic and would therefore always make sure that was what I got. Well last month I was told there was a temporary shortage of the 1mg clonazepam, and they had to fill it with Actavis instead.

First off, I found the Actavis to be almost, if not as good, as the Teva.

However, at two different pharmacies I visited (I don't have insurance currently so I have to pay cash...therefore I shop around for the best price.) Anyhow, I was told at 2 different pharmacies that they were going to start using Accord Pharmaceuticals generic brand as soon as their current stock was depleted.

I picked up my first script of them today. They're blue, blank on one side, and on the other there's a C on top, and 1 on the bottom.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this generic and, if so, how it compares to the others. I was also wondering if anyone else has run into this situation (pharmacy starting to use Accord.

Any input would be appreciated

We don't do brand discussion here. Take it up with the FDA if you don't like your generics.

its all in your head
clonazepam=clonazepam=clonazepam

The only difference would be some inactive ingredients may alter absorption rates.

^ that too.

ha, pretty much.

The FDA very stringently regulates pharmaceuticals so generics have to be therapeutically equivalent to brand medication. The active ingredient is the same and the dose is the same. Any differences in pill composition are going to be completely inconsequential 99% of the time and that is why we don't allow this discussion.

At best it's speculative and/or subjective.
