I too have been on klonopin for about 14 years for SAD and GAD. The ONLY medicine that made me feel normal. I tried all the SSRI's and so many other meds including cocktails combining meds, but it was all side effects with no benefits.
My doctor who is also an anxiety researcher told me years ago not to go generic, but in these economic times and trying to go down on dose I just thought I'd try it. As posted I bombed and can't believe how much better I feel today back on brand. So for the cost of a cup of coffee per pill I think I'll skip the coffee and go with brand klonopin.
Somehow I suspect a lot of people never find the right medicine because they tried it as generic when brand might have worked, but that's just my take.
I'm flushing the generic down the toilet where it belongs. There should be some sort of better system regulating generics as far as I'm conserned.
