Actually, this group is a bit inactive, just like the KK #2 is, but oh well; I can’t do much about that.
Still baffled by this as so many people get put on K even in 2018. I often wonder what generics brands they are taking currently since all this Teva stuff started.
I did a bit more investigatingthis morning about a few of these companies, and just thought I’d pass it along. We do know for sure that Mylan and Sandoz have discontinued their generics of clonazepam.
So this morning, I called Solco. I actually forgot to ask if they make generic Clonazepam, but if [...] is getting it from Solco, they must. Will call them back when my voice is decent enough to do that just to verify. But I did find out that Solco has no connection to qualitest. They are 2 separate companies.
Then I called qualitest at 1-800-444-4011. Qualitest is still part of Endo Pharmaceuticals and Endo bought both Par pharmaceuticals and qualitest. So these folks that answer these phones seem a bit mixed up themselves, but after getting transferred around, I was told that I was speaking with the parent company, Endo, and they only make Clonazepam in the oral disintegrating tablets now and not any higher strengths.
I’m wondering what is going on here. I still have to call Solco back to find out what those Clonazepam strengths are, and I will. Just not today because I have a bunch of mundane stuff to do, and after I take that horrible Sandoz crap, my voice is almost inaudible. Surprises me that folks can hear a literal whisper of a voice, but they do hear it. So lots of the older companies are not making Clonazepam at all it seems.
Still going to call Accord as they are still around. Just can’t do this in one day. Almost seems like Clonazepam is going away. Well, it’s a toughie for sure. Maybe folks just can’t handle it; I’m unsure of all this now. I did send that email to Genentech who makes brand K for Roche, but can all people on K afford it? I don’t know, but if someone is not working and alone, who knows?
I could swing the cost of a couple hundred bucks, but I’m not as close to getting off as others because I started at 3 mg. and tapered down to half of that all on Actavis. I’ve got some time to go here.
Just an update here. Good luck to all of us on clonazepam because for all the people here who take it, no one seems particularly concerned overall. I can’t keep all this calling up because I’m VOCALLY IMPAIRED. And maybe others can make a bunch of switcheroos on generic brands, but they screw me up so I can’t.
I just made a good case for the Benzo information coalition. One of their “consequences” listed for taking benzos is LOSS OF VOICE. I’ve got that people. The BIC maybe have never encountered it; not sure, and they probably never encountered someone with idiopathic subglottic stenosis. I just don’t know.
Well, here I am- a Benzo user who got sucked in by an unknowing psychiatrist way back, and a person with one of the most rare diseases in the world. Anyone can go to Facebook and join the closed group “living with idiopathic subglottic stenosis.” Maybe not if you’d never had it. But it’s there. I personally can not navigate Facebook, so I’ve given up even trying to post there. And my surgeon is considered the best in the world or so I’m told.
Getting off track here. Just would appreciate more input from others. What does anyone else hear or know? Still haven’t gathered the courage to see if my particular pharmacy can now order Actavis or not. Those dummies at CVS are the worst. I may report that particular store to their corporate headquarters. Lovely to walk into that pharmacy and have all those people welcome you, and then get to the pharmacy and be treated like crap. And be treated like crap on the phone also. Ok that’s it for now. Maybe I’[...] have to try to switch to valium. That’s on the WHO organizations list of essential medicines along with Ativan for seizure control. Not really understanding if they do or don’t control seizures. But Clonazepam is not on that list, and it’s used to control seizures. Nothing making sense here.
Please spread the word to whomever you think needs to know. Maybe the long hold group, and that totally inactive KK club#2 who could probably give a rats ass. Just don’t let me be the only person here doing something for heavens sake!
