Klonopin Questions

How many years have you been on Klonopin? Who is the oldest person you know taking Klonopin?

I am 61 and just started clonazapam for GAD. I cannot take SSRIs, can't tolerate side effects. I managed to not need a benzo for 21 years by taking Buspar, but it is not strong enough for my recent problems. I have to be on something lifelong now to keep from relapsing. I am hoping to find members... read more

Anyone tried Accord clonazepam?

Hi all, I got my script from my doc yesterday for 1mg clonazepam after previously being on 0.5mg.

Does generic clonazepam (Teva) work as well as brand Klonopin?

I occasionally take .5mg of Teva clonazepam for nerve pain. I find there is quite a lot of variation in the effectiveness of the tablets -- some work 100% well and some only 50-70%. I was wondering if this is due to it being a generic. Any thoughts?

When I got home they only gave me 30 pills. I called the pharmacy & they said sorry but it is my mistake and I should have counted them before I left the pharmacy. I never count my medicine before I leave, I always trusted that it was right. Has this happen to anyone else. I'm so upset. There is... read more
