Clonazepam Brands

What does clonazepam have in it to make it fall under the controlled substance act? I have been taking this medication for some time. I was told it has a controlled substance in it. What is it? ## Hello, Mimi! How are you? Clonazepam itself is the controlled substance, it is a benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming, so the FDA and DEA make sure it is regulated. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. ## I've been taking it for sometime myself. I use to wonder why myself. I'm extremely sensitive to different brands. I have been suffering for the last four months because the brand I always used drastically changed something in the ingredients. Just wondering if you have problems with different brands. To my body it...

What color is a 1 mg clonazepam made by Mylan? ## Mylan's Clonazepam (1mg) is a round green tablet; with an "M" on one side and "C" over "14" on the other. Manufacturer: Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. National Drug Code (NDC): 00378-1912 Did you have any other questions or comments regarding this pill? Please post back if you do... ## Is Mylan going to manufacture the clonazepam again? The other brands I ended up in the ER or they have really altered the quality of life. I just took it to sleep and now I have tried all the rest and were all too drugging and when it runs out, withdrawal type side effects begin. See my name: Mylan Bestie. I felt alert when I woke up and all day. They were for sleep and now I don't eat or sleep well on Accord. ## I haven't s...

Hi, I just recently had to change to the teva brand of clonazepam. Just wanted to know has anyone experience jaw pain. I looked up the ingredients on some other brands and notice that teva has povidone as an inactive ingredient. Could it be the povedone ? ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? Various body aches and pains can be typical side effects of the Clonazepam itself, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. There can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient between one generic and another, this is permitted under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, so this one might be a little bit stronger than the one you were taking, which could cause you to experience more side effects. Has there been any change, yet? ## Dear Sarah I...

After reading all the posts about this particular med, I now realize that the different colors of this same medicine affects each of us differently. I cannot take the blue, yellow or orange clonazepam but the pink one is a life saver for me. My pharmacist has given me the others and my anxiety doubles. I have searched for the drug store that carries the pink one. I just cannot take the others. So weird how the same medicine, same dosage is so very different from manufacturer to manufacturer. What is the difference really? And why are they different? I wondered if it was the dye to color the pills. :-) Hope everyone gets the one that works best for you. ## Hello Imabkwrm, To answer your question simply the primary difference you typically find between brands of a medication is the inacti...

I have been taking .5 mg clonazepam made by Actavis for about 7 years. Now all of a sudden my pharmacy could not get it What has happened? Will Actavis no longer be producing it or is it on back order. If it is on back order, what is taking so long? Is there anyone who may still be able to supply it ? Thank you for your help in getting answers to these questions. ## Hello Maxine, I know that when Teva bought out Actavis back in Aug of 2016 that there was a lot of concern with the differences in manufacturing practices and some people were having difficulty getting their brands afterwords. It is possible that the prices have changed and your pharmacy has run out of this particular brand and are now stocking up on a new brand. I cannot find any information online that would indicate that ...

There are all these conspiracy theories about clonazepam generics, the FDA heavily regulates these and cannot have > +/- 20% of active ingredient. I too favor the tevas, but those are the old school generics and I think we just have an emotional attachment/ placebo effect to with regard to them. These placebo/mental effects can cause REAL withdrawal symptoms (my psychiatrist is one of the top pain/anxiety management docs in Texas). Also certain message boards dont even allow generic brand comparisons because there can be no noticeable difference between generic brands in terms of the effectiveness, but there may be placebo effects on addiction/withdrawal. Does anyone have any non-anecdotal evidence to support certain generics being worse than others? ## If you really want to read up...

Has anyone tried the 2mg clonazepam by clozerid, 200 in a box? Are they effective or are they just another underdosed product? 200 in a box of 2mg pills for the price I see seems far far too good to be true. I can't see any history of them online anywhere either. ## You probably figured out the answer to your question by now but just in case, make sure to be careful with this brand. I tested some of the tablets received and some contained no clonazepam at all (sketch). There are certain generic brands that are being marketed that are either made with a cheaper benzodiazepine, a smaller dose than advertised, or a different substance entirely. I am never getting these again, just be careful.

im prescribed 3 clonazepam a day. i take the pink ones that 1.0mg. they are alot stronger than the yellow one thats 0.5mg. i no the pink ones are double the strenght of the yellow one. but i could take 3 or 4 of the yellow an they wouldnt help near as much as just 1 of the pink ones. ## Hi, Could you the me the brand names of both the yellow and the pink. Would really appreciate it. Thank you ## @Original poster, Certain manufacturers brands and generics do tend to vary in efficacy. This may be the result of various binders/fillers affecting bioavailability or lack of quality control in some other area. If I were you, I'd ask my doctor to specify a particular manufacturer's name on the next prescription or refill so that you don't have to wonder if they'll work as intend...

I recently received Teva clonazepam and it worked great. Two weeks ago, I received clonazepam from Accord Pharmaceuticals and it was like a placebo pill. Has anyone taken this medicine By Accord and have you noticed a serious difference with it not helping? I've never had a generic never work before. I don't know what to do. All pharmacies in my area are now going with Accord Pharmaceuticals because it's cheaper. Help with an answer please. ## Hello Stirfry, Sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately not all brands of medication work the same for each person. If the Accord brand does not work for you please let your doctor know and see if there is a way that you can get a different brand ordered for you. I would suggest that you give this medication a few days to see ...

I was just given a different brand of clonazepam (Klonopin) and it is like taking a placebo compared with other brands, such as Teva. Anyone else notice this? I take the 2mg tab ## Hi Brian, Sorry to hear about the medication feeling like a placebo. I for one think it has a lot to do with the different set of inactive ingredients found in each manufacturer's brand/generic. Reason I say this is because nothing else is usually changed on the Rx label when you switch between different versions. Apparently each 2mg tablet by Mylan Pharmaceuticals uses the following binders/fillers: anhydrous lactose + colloidal silicon dioxide + magnesium stearate + microcrystalline cellulose + pregelatinized corn starch + sodium lauryl sulfate Teva's 2mg Clonazepam reportedly contains: corn starch ...

My son was originally placed on Mylan brand it worked beautifully. Then when they stopped production (but you are still able to get it while a patient in the hospital), we switched him to Teva brand after failing on several other manufacturers, and he has done well. Now they say Teva has stopped manufacturing the Clonazepam. What brand is comparable to these two? He takes 0.5 at night for his nighttime seizures.... I need some advice, don't want him losing his seizure control! ## Hello Renee, There are a large number of generics available that your son could try, what's important to note is what inactive ingredients your son does well with and which ones your son's body does not agree with. For example the Mylan and Teva brands contain the following inactive ingredients acco...

Please help with this, i have taken the mylan brand for several years, when the pharmacy could no longer order it they ordered Teva, it immediately gave me pains that seemed to be in my chest....kind of the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

As far as inactive ingredients are concerned, listed below are the National Drug Codes for each manufacturer's version of Clonazepam. If you click o...

Hi. There has been a lot of talk about generic clonazepam brands with many claiming something is just not right, people experiencing horrible withdrawal symptoms as soon as they get on these generic brands, people having seizures once again when they hadn't had any in years, people claiming they have to take 2 or 3 mgs of these generic brands for each 1mg of their previous generic brand like Teva or Mylan. I recently had a depression relapse and was taken to the hospital. At that time I had both Sandoz Pharmaceuticals and Accord Healthcare generic clonazepam. And I had been taking both generic brands in the previous 3 weeks switching them around. They were both 2mg tablets. Well, guess what? I took a bag of all the meds I was on and went bottle by bottle telling the nurse which ones...

I have a question. I am told when I contacted Sandoz that they are no longer making Clonazepam of any kind. That means a lot of brands will no longer be available. I've been taking Sandoz Clonazepam 0.5 mg (yellow tablet) 3 times a day for 10 years now and am trying to find another type that is just the same or just as good when my pharmacy runs out of mine. Any thoughts on what is something just as good or close to it? Or did anyone find a pharmacy that has a ton of this type? Thank you kindly for any and all help. ## Hello Veg21, According to a FDA Sandoz Inc. has made a business decision to permanently discontinue clonazepam tablets, marketed by Sandoz and Northstar Rx LLC. They have not released any information on if they are going to be selling their marketing rights to another...

I had to switch from Teva to Actavis clonazepam and am feeling a bit more negative on the new brand, despite the nearly identical inactive ingredients between the two. Does the composition of the active ingredient, the medicine itself vary between brands. Is it synthesized differently or use a different formula? ## Hello Schleprock, No. The active ingredient is the same but even though the inactive ingredients are similar or even listed as the same it doesn't necessarily mean they are identical. the reason for this is that they do not have to disclose the amount of inactive ingredients, so maybe one company uses a larger dosage of corn starch while the other barely uses any and so on. These minor differences can make major differences in how your body is able to metabolize the pill....

Is Clonazapam v2532 meant to be taken sublingualy or just swallowed whole? I know some brands are either or.. ## This tablet is manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 2mgs of Clonazepam in a regular tablet formulation, so they are meant to be swallowed intact. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

I’ve been taking half of .5 Teva clonazepam for 10+ years. When I refilled my prescription I got the same dose but Actavis brand. I don’t seem to feel the same I have slight headache , jittery and spacey Not sure if it’s because I’m a hypochondriac and creating this stress or is it because the actavis brand is that much different than Teva ? ## Hello Cp4499, While the two brands do contain the same active ingredient it is possible that you are reacting to the differences in inactive ingredients. Below I have provided some info I sourced from the NIH. Actavis contains these inactive ingredients STARCH, CORN LACTOSE MONOHYDRATE MAGNESIUM STEARATE MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE D&C RED NO. 30 Teva contains the these inactive ingredients STARCH, CORN LACTOSE MONOHYDR...

I've been on .25 Teva clonazepam for a number of years and being sensitive to meds avoided taking the Actavis it was replaced with stuck with Teva pills from 2016 for a few months. My anxiety returned a few weeks ago that I think was related to the expired meds. Tried the Actavis and the transition isn't going well. My anxiety's still lingering and I just feel different on the Actavis despite the near equivalence of ingredients with Teva. Would it make sense to try the clonazepam wafer that Teva still manufactures? I'm curious if the formula itself for the active ingredient differs between brands, meaning the same medicine in the pill would be in the wafer. Or is there a brand qualitatively similar to Teva's that others have tried? Or am I just feeling side effects f...

What happens if I take a yellow pill with a M c13 and a blue pill G3721 at the same time, I know both are for muscle relaxed there is any risk for taking both at the same time? Thanks.! ## No, neither of them are muscle relaxants. The tablet with the M C13 marking contains 0.5mgs of Clonazepam and the one with the G 3721 marking contains 1mg of Alprazolam, both of which are Benzodiazepines, better known by the name brands Klonopin and Xanax respectively. These medications are most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Learn more Klonopin details here. Learn more Xanax details here. And they can both cause depression of the central nervous system as a side effect, so they shouldn't both be taken at the same time, because doing so can potentiate at that and put you in ...

How many teva 833 are equal to a xanax bar? ## To answer the original thread question, a round green pill marked "TEVA 833" is identified as Clonazepam (1 mg). Although both medications are of the same Benzodiazepine drug class, they still have a different chemical composition. In which case neither drug can truly be compared on a milligram to milligram basis. The equivalency is also going to be different for each individual's needs, based on their tolerance, potency of the brand, certain binders & fillers, as well as other personal factors. Not only that, but because Clonazepam is a generic formulation, the FDA allows these tablets to contain up to 20% more or less of the actual active ingredient. In the end, no two drugs are created equal; not even between brands and g...
