teva klonopin vs actavis brand klonopin

i am really responding to sean as i was given some very helpful information as i was on the green generic TEva klonopins 1mg for years and they just switched to actavis yellow  pharmacist telling me its all about the cost. well i have very good insurance and i pay the same co pay and i have experience the same side effects sweating, i have had headaches, i have felt off, since on them and i know they tell you that the fda has to put the same stuff in them  not true-  so someone reached out online and told me to go to fda.gov and fill out a complaint i did and they responded back and they told me if they get another complaint they will look into it but they are alreay sending my info over to actavis because they cant tell me if they have had other complaints but the best way to get the TEVA back is to go to FDA.GOV  and fill out the form it does not take long i promise they listen- i have not been the same since they switched over to these Actavis name brand klonopin.

I was also on Teva clonazepam for 13 years with no issues.  A few months ago I switched pharmacies and started getting Actavis which I have been experiencing weight gain, headaches, extreme drowsiness with the same dose as the Teva, 1 mg 3x per day.  I am very sensitive to medications and have racked my brain on the weight gain issue thinking it's hormonal, etc. but I really think it is the medication.  I gained 30lbs in 2 months on Zoloft when the dr. told me "no one gains weight on Zoloft."  I contacted the pharmacy and requested they exchange the Actavis for the Teva and hopefully I will get back to normal.  Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, I have tried a few different brands from Teva over the years and they either don't work or make me sick.
