Yes: Actavis is a pharmaceutical company that produces generic medications. It sounds as if they are supplying your pharmacy with clonazepam. Generic Clonazepam is equally effective as klonopin.

A member asked:

Is viibryd because of the 5ht1a a good substitute to klonopin? I read that 5ht1a inhibits glutamate which is what klonopin does. It would be nice to switch over from lexapro and klonopin to just viibryd if this is true? Wouldnt it be super sedating

Can Klonopin be used long term for severe panic disorder ? 0.5 mg TWICE daily. Is that a good dose to cover 24/7? Will it always work if it worked initially or will the patient develop tolerance and panic will worsen requiring an increase in dose?
