Anyone tried Accord clonazepam?

Since this post, it’s gone from bad to worse. TEVA no longer makes these at all.
The only 2 generics I can find are made in China — one of which being Accord.
I was prescribed 0.5-1mg for years. Worked great. After TEVA went away, or was bought out, I was given Accord. Zero effect. Like a sugar pill. I tried for 1/2 a bottle until my anxiety was unbearable.
I researched the company, & just as you wrote in 2011, sketchy at best.
There are endless complaints about Accord clonazepam being totally ineffective.
This abrupt change & forced limited choice, has affected thousands if not millions of people prescribed.
The only other generic I could find also starts with an “A”, also manufactured in China.
That one has worked much better — but never the same as prior manufacturers.
How can the FDA properly regulate quality control in China? Clearly, they are not.
What if this were a life & death heart medication?

I have tried every Manufacturer of generic Klonopin as well as brand name. I honestly do not see a difference between all of them. We all obviously are anxious people to begin with, and maybe I am just lucky because I do not find a difference in every manufacture I have tried. Maybe I am one of the lucky ones but Accord made me calm, probably more tired then the other brands, but it stopped my symptoms and I felt no tolerance. Again maybe I am one of the lucky ones and feel no difference between manufactures. Accord does dissolve within minutes under your tongue I have never had that with any other manufactures if that helps. God speed.

By the way you can't get mylan brand either anymore .

After getting 1mg Mylan clonazepam for years from Walgreens, they no longer had it. They gave me Teva for 2 months and then ended up with Accord. It's so bad - doesn't work at all and seems to make my depression worse. I take generic requip for restless legs and the same thing happened and the brand make it worse. Walgreens is constantly changing brands on several meds I take, and I assume other pharmacies are doing the same. Today I went to Kroger Pharmacy and they have Solco. Has anyone tried this? It has to be better than Accord.

When Teva stoped making Clonazepam I was switched to Accord and they were like sugar pills! I take 1 mg BID and had to take 2 mg for the same effect! My Dr changed the Rx to 2mg BID which worked but still not as good as Teva!

As a long term Clonazepam user they lack potency. Put me into acute withdrawal. My suggestions is csll the FDA as they thanked me telling me that only 20 percent of unsatisfied patients csll in. There are complaints all over on line. Also not scored, which is a must if you ever plan on weaning off.

cwake19,
I have been on different brands of Clonazepam (presently 1 mg. tablets) for about 10 years now. Although Mylan brand seems to work the best for me, other brands have still managed to control my extreme anxiety - until this past month. I recently filled my prescription at the local Walgreens that I normally go to. This last prescription I was given does VERY LITTLE for my extreme anxiety attacks. I checked the label and it was the “Accord” brand. After reading the various replies here, I will start making calls tomorrow to my doctor and Walgreens to see what alternatives I have.

Please call the FDA and they will give you a number to call for drug complaints which will be put on the med wstch list. I sm sure Accord brand has caused me to gi into acute withdrawal several times and now I am having to ask for the trade name KlonoPIN

I have tried the Accord. Albeit I am on the .5mg so it was scored. You could always ask for .5mg instead and take two. Now It took me over 2 months and it just wasn't for me. It hit faster and wore off faster. But everyone is different.

Thanks to all who have posted as it helps know I’m not in this alone. I had been on Mylan 1 mg at bedtime for years, and I never had any problems especially with it causing problems with other drugs I’ve taken. Then a few months ago, the pharmacist said there was a shortage of Mylan so she gave me Sandoz. That worked about two months, and then I started waking up in the middle of the night shaking and hurting all over. Sandoz is now discontinued so I was given Teva. I’ was up at 5 am with chest pains that didn’t subside for a couple of hours. After talking to the pharmacist she said they have Mylan in stock again so she is trading the two out. I hope the Mylan doesn’t have any reactions to the others I’ve been taking, but I’m starting it tonight. I want to feel normal again. I’ve learned there is a big difference in generic drugs according to the manufacturer.

Accord is the absolute worst. Nerve pain in my teeth,pain in my nipple of all places.Was on Tiva for years,no problem.PhArmacy switched to this crap two months ago.I complained,they said it was up to the wholesaler.Cant wait to switch to another pharmacy,these things aren't even scored.

I use cvs and the other day I noticed that my prescription was different. I usually get TEVA but this time it was Mylan 0.5 mg. Within three days of using Mylan I was having panic attacks like I wasn’t even on medication. I had a few left over Teva and took one and within minutes I felt better. Apparently there is a massive Teva shortage in the US for klonopin. I am going to try Accord from Walgreens 0.5mg. If it doesn’t work I will update this so if you don’t see another response from me you’ll know Accord is good.

I prefer Actavis but Teva works just as well. I just found out that Teva will no longer be producing Teva Clonazepam and will now be only selling the Actavis brand. All Teva Clonazepam has been obsoleted.
