My insurance doesn't pay for brand klonon, but I went to a specialist who told me that there were definately differences with brand. I pay the money, but I can tell you for me it's been worth it. With klonopin for example generic is made in several other countries and they are allowed a 20% variance in drug strenght vs brand. My doc pointed out that meant from one perscription to the next there could be up to 40% difference in dose. I also suspect that it's probably higher. I do feel that with some drugs generic is fine, but I wouldn't opt for it particularly with head meds......
