First off, I dont understand why so many people out there have this anti-big drug firm mentality. Everyone seems to forget that the company, in this case Roche, actually developed the drug. For me its been a life saver, so I in reality would pay anything for it. In contrast, I would pay for the generic forms if, and only if they were exactly alike. Which they are not. The TEVA did work, but my underlying question is did it work to the best of its ability? Could I have been a little better for an extra $35.00. The biggest problem I see is people just keep trying different drugs, and throw all caution to the wind. I was very bad off, had been since I returned from the Desert Storm. The Klonopin saved my life. I couldnt leave my block, and this Christmas I went home to TX from KY to see my parents for the first time in 8 years. So honestly cubby bear, I could give a damn if the klonopin cost 10.00 a pill. As far as lining the pockets of the big firms, as I said they made the thing, and perhaps just perhaps 30 years from now they will develop a pill that needs to be taken once a month or just taken once and it will be gone forever. They cant do that kind of research when everyone is buying generics. As far as money goes, well I was making good money with my anxiety, PA, agoraphobia. Hell, now that I have been taking klonopin I am making great money..so I can afford it. Ya know, this stuff is heriditary, so I am willing to pay the people for their product for a means to an end, not just a temporary fix. I have 2 beautiful girls and if, God forbid they ever started with this crap, I would hope they would have something as good as klonopin, but maybe, just maybe something even better. No I dont work for Roche Labs, I am just giving credit where credit is due.
