After starting this thread I switched to generic klonopin from brand in an effort to save money and try to start to reduce dose to the lowest effective level if not off it all together.
I stayed on the same dose, 2mgs. But my anxiety has become unbearable, I'm withdrawing from social activities and not sleeping well. So last night I went back on brand and feel much better, slept better and feel much less social anxiety. I'm convinced that some of the generic medicines out there are bunk and dangerous. I googled the topic and seems there is a lot of information out there about this.
I still plan on going down on dose, but I'll do it using brand. It's hard enough to lower your dose on this stuff, but throwing issues with generic on top of it is more than I can deal with.
Lot's of info out there about generics vs brand and if your interestested, just google it. I suspect there are a lot of people who are taking the right medicine, but don't do well simply because of a bad batch of generic medicine.
