Mylan Generic Diazepam Changed 2023

Updated

My insurance only allows generics. To say I have been thru hell is an understatement when these drug manufacturers tweak the formula. Real Valium worked. Generic Watson turned Mayne worked. They have someone else making it. Gives me anxiety. Suppose to take it away. Reported it. They didn't care. I also have multiple sclerosis.

Anyway, after 6 weeks of hell last October I started Mylan 5mg. It wasn't like the Watson, however, it wasn't horrible. My whole being changed. Then I got long covid. It was bad. I just refilled my Mylan diazepam and noticed it looked different. Low and behold it gave me anxiety and panic attacks once again. I don't know what these drug companies are doing. Perhaps they are trying to thin the herd. Teva does the same. My life has become unmanageable as it is. Anyone else have a problem with Mylan now?

Yeah it’s bad I suspect a bunch of drug companies are making their medication as weak as possible so they can save money and keep making record profits.

I would advise you to report it to the FDA’s medwatch. There’s nothing else I know of that we can do about this, I don’t think the government agencies will even care because they prefer profits over people anyway

What are the markings on your new supply? With this additional information, maybe I can research it for you, to see if there is any explanation.

The FDA warns that Diazepam carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes.

Red: Diazepam Information

You stated that you have MS, what medications do you take for it? Some of them may affect how you respond to some medications. They can also cause some problematic side effects.

I’m having the same problem but it’s with Teva clonazepam. I have been on for 8 years. I have anxiety still and I went off it for a month and didn’t have any withdrawals. Which I should have. I think most the medication is placebo. No way you can take a benzodiazepine medication for so many years and not have one withdrawal after abruptly stopping. I'm disgusted by the medication Teva Clonazepam 1mg.

Re: Optimistic (# 1) Expand Referenced Message

No, I believe you are correct. Unfortunately. however the insurance plans also have us under their thumb. generics only. which IMO losing time to go thru an unnecessary detox to play with a new generic to become somewhat functional is inhumane. All the insurance has to do is approve brand. Goes for Topamax and others as well. Life is hard enough.

Re: VerFree (# 2) Expand Referenced Message

never had a problem before. with Watson aka Mayne. yellow scored 5 other side Dan and numbers. on that for many years. Mayne changed the formulary
another drug manufacturer is making it for them. new imprint. reacts like teva. So now from 7.5 2x a day to 2.5. 2 x cause Mylan is different again. so 3rd time since oct. Diazepam works on the gaba receptor in the brain. Mylan is a peach color with 5 on one side and letters on other side. Mayne is yellow. so is teva. drug is great for anxiety muscle spasms keeps blood sugars at an even level .
