I've taken klonopin for 12 years. Been on both brand and generic. I got the generic at Kaiser which was a blue pill (1mg). My doctor insisted I go to brand so I did. I noticed a huge difference, much smoother, worked better on my social anxiety, lasted longer in the day, more stable refil to refil.
The FDA allows generics to very up to 20% in strenght compared to brand. Brand is brand, same each dose. My doc was one of the doctors that helped get klonopin approved for use in anxiety disorters. He was very insistant that brand would be better.
I don't think he feels that way about other drugs, but does with klonopin. I have found it less depressing as well. I pay this doctor a ton of money for the privilage to see him so I consider taking his word on brand klonopin more than just my personal experience.
