> I have never noticed a difference in quality in generic brands except price, but I'm not in the states. That includes diazepam, clonezapam, temazepam, oxezapam or nitrazepam.
And I've never noticed either. And here we go with the generic and "real" benzodiazepines. I'll just sum it up in one word. "Real" haven't been produced in mass quantities in over 20 years because they're fvcking expensive. They're reserved for people on epilepsy who can't afford to have any slight deviation in their Klonopin. But actually that's not even true, because as long as an epileptic takes the same brand and the pharmacy is aware of this, its the same thing.
My doctor put this whole ridiculous argument as this: you have a can of Cambell's soup, and a can of Store Brand soup. They both have beans and rice and whatnot and broth and such, but maybe they have stirred up the pot a bit with additives and so in a blind taste test, someone might be able to point out the "real thing".
It's a total waste of money to spend on "real" Klonopin or "real" Valium.
There is a slight point there if one takes .5mg of brand X Klonopin and 1mg of brand Y Klonopin. Maybe one is 99% and the other is 96% effective overall. So use the one that you think is most potent or up the dose of the one that isn't as potent. Potency will still be achieved, and you'll have money for that rainy day fund.
But that's just my 2c
