Generic Klonopin Bioequivelancy Charts

[debaser23]

I've been taking the Caraco generic Klonopin for months.  As an experiment, I took genuine Roche Klonopin for three days once, and the sedation was a bit more pronounced.  I did not notice any difference in my anxiety level, but three days isn't enough observation time.

Well, I've moved and the easiest pharmacy to use is at Target.  They sell TEVA generic Clonazepam.  I've heard from Ryan it's good, but the FDA doesn't have all the information on-line...I'd have to file a FOIA request and I'm not going to fool around with that.  

So, basically, I'm just wondering what I can expect with the switch from the Caraco to the Teva.  Can't find data on the net, but hopefully will find some personal experience here.

Thanks,
D

My new insurance company will not cover Klonopin/Roche (which is unfortunate, since I've been using that brand for 8 months). They will only reimburse brand name at the generic cost (if a generic is available). I'm not paying $107.50/month for Klonopin. I was paying $50/month for 90 tablets, 1/2 mg.

Now I pay $9.99/month for 90 tablets of the TEVA brand. I've been using it for over two weeks now, and I would have to say subjectively that it is very, very close to Klonopin/Roche in potency (probably identical). I haven't had a problem with it.

I don't see why you'd have any problems with it. If anything, it will be slightly more potent than the Caraco generic. Any effects (ie: initial sedation) would pass in about three days. The same would've happened with Klonopin/Roche if you kept taking it.

That's kind of what I was thinking.  

Where the hell are you getting yours so cheap?  I'm getting 60 .5mg tabs for 23.99 and I thought that was a good deal.

$9.99 is the insurance copay. Doesn't matter what the drug is, or how many tablets, the price remains $9.99. So TEVA it is for me!

Even without insurance, check this out:

It's even your brand!

That's exactly what the in-store pharmacist told me it would be.  The TEVA was going to be fifty bucks, though.  At Target, the TEVA is cheaper than the Carraco at Walgreens.  

The Caraco has worked out pretty well, but it may be that the TEVA is better.  I'll start taking it on Sunday.
