In reply to Klonopin - A taste in my mouth..., posted by Greg on December 3, 2001, at 12:02:23
Do you know which manufacturer makes your generic?
The generic I've used is Teva. The .5 mg pill is yellow, smooth, hard and impossible to split by hand and seems tasteless. The brand, on the other hand, is orange, kind of sweet, Pez-textured, and easily breakable.
BTW, I was unhappy when I mistakenly ended up with the generic for the first time earlier this year, but I really can't discern any difference in effect. Lots of people swear the generics are weaker. Ironically, I found one letter to a Psychiatry Journal citing two cases that suggested just the opposite -- the patients had to cut their dosages when they switched to generic. I guess it depends which generic you get.
