I've tried 4 batches of Roches, 1 batch of Rivotril from India which wasn't marked Roches, and a batch of Rivopams. And I just ordered a batch of Torrent Bannakins which haven't arrived yet. I would say all 4 batches of Roches were of different strenghs, I think it has to do with the expiration date and maybe where they were made. I personally wouldn't buy the Rivotril from India again unless I was strapped for cash, some were crumbly and some weren't that strong. The Rivopams seem fairly strong but left me feeling like I needed another one in the morning, the Roches didn't do that to me. So from my experience I'd try to get a fresh batch of Roches made from where, I'm not sure.

By the way are you chewing them up and placing them under your tongue, I've heard it's the best way to take them. I personally feel them almost right away when I do this, and it feels like they're healing me, which I know they aren't.
And if it isn't effecting you maybe it isn't the right drug for you.
as i've said before, i don't notice much differences in klonopin and xanax no matter who the manufacturer. seriously. valium i do. (figure THAT one out - i can't).
but my preference for klonopin is roche, only because you can never go wrong with a brand name.

Winterlong, BUMP! ROCHE for sure. But you know I have noticed that K's don't vary as extreme in quality as much as lets say Valium. You can take 4 or 5 different brands of valium and most likely 2 or 3 will be 1/3 or more less potent than the name brand. Klonopin in my experience, tends to not have as far a gap in purity & quality. Freshness, expiration and exposure to the elements plays a huge role in the effectiveness of a Benzo. Benzo's seem to be much more fragile then a lot of other meds IMHO.

Indian Rivotril made by Nicholas Piramal under license by Roche. I prefer these to the normal Roche ones. Maybe I just got some insanely strong batches or maybe I'm just weird.
As for the Torrent Clonotrils: they're good, but I bet if they didn't taste of banana, people wouldn't rave about them.
that's a really good point, nutshell...i wonder if klonopin is more stable than valium in terms of heat tolerance, etc.
i agree that benzo's suffer a lot from extremes (heat/cold, age). there's a big difference between an Rx from a local pharmacy vs. pills that have been subjected to more extremes.
hmmm...i'm no chemist.
opiates are natural (some of them, anyway) - i wonder if the natural ones hold out longer no matter what because in the real world, they had to. manufactured chemicals - perhaps they're just more fragile?

The only thing I noticed about clonazepam is the Apo-tex 0.5mg generic in the US seem stronger than 1/4th of a 2mg Roche from Europe. I use a pill splitter for the Roches to get the dosage fairly accurate but I prefer the US generic. Never had the "K" cutouts but I can guess that they are probably the best you can get. With no insurance, the Roches suit me just fine and you really cant beat $0.40 per pill. My daily use amounts to $6 a month, maybe less than the average Copay so I'm happy.
Agreed. I think it's funny how people think they have received fake Roche K-Pins because they don't "feel" an effect. I like Clonazepam because of the fact that I don't feel it. It works in the background and doesnt sedate you like V's and X's yet it decreases panic attacks for me substantially.
