I never paid much attention to generic vs. brand-name meds, and have been using green Teva Klonopin for about 2 1/2 years (I've never tried the "real thing'" = Roche). However, one month my wife refilled my prescription for clonazepam at a different pharmacy and got pink pills from another generic co. (can't remember which one -- maybe Mylan?). They clearly were inferior, and since I'd always assumed that generics are all interchangeable, I doubt this was my imagination.
I got another prescription and went to a mail-order co. that supplies the Teva version, and all was well again.
I still suspect that most generic drugs are fine, but there definitely was something different about that company's clonazepam.
