Re: Generic Klonopin

I had taken the branded Klonopin from Roche for years and was taken aback when I opened a mail-order drug shipment once and found 180 generic pills because my doctor had forgotten to write "do not substitute" as per usual.

Turns out the generics worked exactly the same as the brand for me. They are made by Teva, which seems to get the most consistent "highest marks" among generics, on this thread and other posts.

You'd exepct Teva to have quality clonazepam, given that it's their top-selling drug. I now try to ensure that I use suppliers which have the Teva generic.

I once saw a letter from some physicians (to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, if memory serves) in which the doctors warned that the generic their patient once received didn't have equal potency to the branded Klonopin she had been taking.

But surprisingly, in that case the problem with the generic is that it was unexpectedly *stronger* than the branded Klonopin their patient had been taking. Almost all complaints I've seen posted here and elsewhere about generic clonazepam concerns *lower* potency vs. the brand name.
