Using your hands only??? Wow, I'm impressed. You must have a lot of digital dexterity. I can almost never get the Tevas to break evenly just snapping them with my fingers. I have somewhat more success with the pill splitter, but it still usually leaves bits of clonodust.> >
> Like I said, this is my virgin voyage with Klonopin so I have nothing to compare it against, but I'm very happy with it compared to the effects I was getting with Xanax. It's a lot lower maintainance med in my opinion.I couldn't agree with you more. For me, Klonopin has been a godsend...in an entirely different league from the Xanax I used previously.
If it's worth whatever extra cost you'd incur, you might want to try the brand next time to see if the minor taste annoyance you experience with Teva goes away.
