I got my script from my doc yesterday for 1mg clonazepam after previously being on 0.5mg. I filled the 0.5mg at Walgreens and got the Mylan yellow ones, which were ok, but I wanted to try another pharmacy to see if I could get the Teva generic (we don't have CVS where I live). The mylan 0.5s worked just as they were supposed to in my opinion, so no complaints there, but I had noticed extreme incompetence in the 1mg Mylan clonazepam last time I was prescribed them.
So I went to a Sav-On pharmacy and they filled my 1mg script with the "Accord Health Care" generics. They're blue pills with a C 1 on one side and blank on the other, with NO score... which bothers me because my doc's intersections say 1/2 to 1 pill twice a day... and its hard to break a pill evenly with no score sometimes, especially when I don't have a pill cutter handy.
IMO, all generics are pretty much the same and the fact that the FDA makes sure they're tested for dosage and bioavailabilty and metabolism being the same of the brand name, I have no worries buying generic. But I've never seen these before and their website looks sketchy as hell. It makes me wonder if they're a super new pharm company that's lured some pharmacies into buying their generic clonazepam (one of the apparently three drugs they even make... again sketchy) because it's cheap.
I just want to make sure I'm getting my proper dose and that the medication is able to achieve the effect intended by my doctor. Has anyone else tried these Accord clonazepam pills? What do you think?

I picked up Teva yesterday the light green ones, it is total crap. I've.. been on the blue accord clonazepam for several years and it works great. Is there a shortage on the accord.

All Accord Clonazepam tablets are on back order because of manufacturing issue. There is no estimated release date. They worked great for me too and Teva doesn’t compare.

I actually just came across this question while searching for where I can get the accord generic brand clonazepam. I take .5 mg to 1 mg once a day at night to help me relax at night and keep a low level in my system to keep the anxiety at bay. I have taken the teva brand since the day I got it prescribed to me years ago and swore by them. I got two other brands in the past that I did not do well on so I swore on teva.
Two years ago I picked up my script and noticed it was accord. I was upset of course because I KNEW teva worked for me but took them anyway, obviously. I didn't notice a difference at first but once my script ran out, I got my teva back the next month and realized after 4 days that the accord honestly worked soo much better for me than teva ever did.
After only 4 days back on teva I was an anxious, irritable, sobbing at every semi sad thing I saw, daily. It leveled out a bit over the last 4 weeks but I'm still so anxious, irritable and sad. I didn't feel this way on accord! I was shocked when I made the connection. Nothing else in my life had changed only the brand of my clonazepam, to me it was the only answer lol. I found an old bottle that I guess I had filled, started but never finished. They were expired but they were accord

I have had several brands of clonazepam over the years and I think the Accord is fine. I think there was one (Qualitest?) that did not seem to be as effective but there are all similar. I liked Teva but it was discontinued. I take 1 - 1 1/2 mg at bedtime (usually just 1mg and have not needed to increase the dosage in 8 years, so I feel fortunate. No daytime grogginess.

I'm not sure how long I've been on this brand but I noticed they've actually been giving me anxiety so I just looked and found this. Mine are .05 and orange. They use to give me the yellow ones somtimes and orange. These don't really melt well under the tongue and I had noticed my anxiety has been bad and I haven't changed anything. Also I take like a half every few hours and they just make me fall asleep after like 4 halves of .05??? But I have asked for specific brands and they just have what they have so.

Accord 0.5mg pills are orange an scored. I took them fr Walmart for like 3 yrs until end of 2020. All sudden they stopped getting them. Accord was only brand that worked for me. Now I have Teva light yellow 0.5 mg scored. I take half a pill. Been working on tapering an changing generics is a nightmare for tapering. They all are not the same! I was pretty ticked. Walmart didn't tell me or made me aware they chg an Accord is in my profile an my Psychiatrist also calls it in an specified everytime, Accord. But no more at Wally World. I can't stand them. Will be looking for a pharm that carries Accord. Ugh...

I find Accord clonazepam much weaker and unpredictable then Teva used to be. Apparently there is no more Teva clonazepam. So I will need to discuss this situation with my doctor.

Hi there I’m Edgar. Have been reading all the post on this thread. I’m Los Angeles CA and looking for someone to chime in if they’ve been able to find TEVA or ACTAVIS klonopin. Either .5 or 2mg? If not what’s a better route to go than ACCORD? I’ve been calling multiple pharmacies but they all seem to have accord. Any help or advice would be highly appreciated it. Thanks I’m advance.

I take accord clonazepam and I’m on the 2mg pills 3 times a day and they do nothing at all! I’m not on a low dose either! I don’t want to take accord anymore! I have to find a pharmacy that has Teva’s I like them way better! I have to start looking for a place that has them because I’m taking more than what I am prescribed because they don’t help & when I do that I run out before I can refill them! Does anyone know what pharmacy has them? I’m in New Haven, CT. Donna T

Accord is horrible. Call around until you find Teva again - they are the best. I use a small private pharmacy in Atlanta GA that always has Teva. I only use 1 - 1.5mg per day. Accord did not work.

I can’t believe i was dealing with a dud clonazepam tablet this whole time!!! I’ve had accord health care for about a year and never changed it and got used to the ugly pill that looks cheap. I still had intense anxiety on those. I just got prescribed 10 extra klonopin for anxiety from an ER and demanded a different brand. I got Actavis/Teva brand and when I took ONE .5mg I was sedated calm and I could feel it. Stay away from accord and go to a more reputable brand. Didn’t know I was taking sugar pills all this time.

Over the past 5 years I've been put on Accord generics. Every time, I've had at least twice as bad anxiety. It took about a week and a half for me to notice each time. I thought I couldn't find Mylan or Teva anywhere so I took Accord for 4 months, which was absolutely horrifying. Please let me know if there is any way to contact someone about this because obviously from reading this, I'm not the only one here.

I have been taking 1mg clonazepam since 2012 and have been prescribed varied generics. The pharmacies switch these up according to what they can get and some are more apt to change frequently (I found CVS was bad about this). Publix prescribed Teva for years and suddenly the corporate Publix pharmacy switch to Qualitest, I think. It clearly did not work as well as Teva so I switched to Winn Dixie, which had Teva consistently until I moved to a city that has no Winn Dixie. Fast forward experience with CVS was terrible. They kept switching up my brand and Accord was the last straw, as it did not work as well. It was also very hard to split a pill with no score. I switched to another independent pharmacy and they prescribe Actavis, which I understand either bought Teva or vice versa. The pills are yellow (1mg), not green but I feel very comfortable with this formulation.

When CVS switched generic clonazepam from teva to Accord I did call them and tell them how bad it was. I also told my Dr.. I asked CVS if they had had any other complaints and they said they hadn't. My Dr. had to double my dose with that Accord trash to no avail. It is not medicine that works for me. I had been on low dose for years. Just now getting straightened out with teva sublingual but not sure they will contINUE TO MAKE IT. Last refill was Par sublingual. I cannot believe there is so many trash drug co.s.. And how you cannot get what you need. Who is sleeping with these drug companies.? BAD BUSINESS MAKING SOMEBODY LOTS OF MONEY!!!

I take accord 2 mg clonazepam and never had issues even have broken them up!! I was given the blue I mg so I didn’t have to pay out of pocket for s script that was stolen from me. It’s onky weeks worth ok 10 days but I cannot believe how horrible they are!! They do not work!!! I feel ok at first then I get even more anxious and I had to take 4 mg and even then it didn’t seem to make a difference. Something is going on with these and why are they Sooooooooooooooo blue? Usually blue pills are light these are dark dark blue! They make me feel like they aren’t being made right. Anyway I will be going back to the 2mg and or discussing with my doctor if he can write a non generic script or specifically say no accord!! I have read nothing much good about them.. you would think someone would be doing an investigation into this with so many complaints! I feel the people not having issues either rarely use them or have a different body chemistry I feel it’s effecting certain people maybe because of their make up. I’m not a doctor just my opinion!!
