Someone, I can't recall who, just talked about her horror story in being forced to switch from klonopin to its generic "equivalent", clonazepam. Apparently, there's a much bigger difference between the brand-name and the generic than you'd think.
On the other hand, I've been taking clonazepam for a little over a year now, and its effects for me are so basic and subtle that I'm tempted to include it at the base of my personal hierarchy of needs, right along with food, water, shelter, and whatever else Maslow put in there. I've been going through some extremely stressful times at work, and its been rock steady for me.
... besides, my copay for generics is half ($5) my copay for brand-names, so I got that extra 5 bucks a month to spend on the more important things in life, like playing the lotto (you can't win if you don't play ;^)
Cheers
