may anyone help me with something. I was wondering on people's opinions on the Purepac generic clonazepam, mine says R33 on the pink pill. Thanks.

Maybe the brand name clonzy is better.

Mine are purepac yellow 34's. I posted about it above, but didn't know exactly what I was taking at that time. I just took one to check.

Although I no longer use klonopin the brand name is superior. Fondly, Phillipa

I never took the brand ones, mine are the yellow 34's but they seem to work fine.

I never took the brand ones, mine are the yellow 34's but they seem to work fine. My pdoc says that the generic have up to 20% less of the active ingredient than the brand. Maybe that's the difference.

Can have, under FDA rules. Its more complicated than that, dealing with the blood level accumulation, etc. What counts more is the delivery system -- different generics may have different "inactive ingredients" .. binders that regulate how it dissolves in you.
