LPR I might be wrong and I certainly do not want to be responsible for you getting an addiction but I need at least 2mg of Xanax to feel it. I am a tall person though so some might not need what I do. Also don't take Xanax for more than a week daily is what I learned, if you do the comedown is absolutely terrible. PM me for more information if you wish, honestly I think you might be better off sticking with Valium.

Just received some gen 1 mg. (I take .50 a day) called Restyl (Alprax) from India at a very good price. Not that bad but still prefer Upjohns from Argentina...they are on order (at a better price thanks to DB!).

Just thought I'd throw that in there...

Do the generic Xanax (2 mg) come in a bar with 4 pieces? I have one with gg, 2,4 & 9. does this sound like generic Xanax?

I found this while checking out some of the older posts on the board....

Hi Doc! I'm really confused about those being Mylan brand because I was under the impression there 2mg product was Round shape and white divided in quarters. However on the rxlist search this is what it says.

Imprint Code: R039
drug/Strength/Manufacturer: Alprazolam 2mg - Purepac
Description: Yellow - Rectangular Shaped - Tablet

Imprint Code: GG 249
drug/Strength/Manufacturer: Alprazolam 2mg - Xanax - Geneva
Description: GG 249 - Multi Scored - White - Rectangular - Tablet Coated

Hope that helps you.

Just my 2 cents - I use Greenstone brand 2mg bars and they are excellent. I beleive Greenstone brand is made by Upjohn, but I could be wrong. Either or, these xanax are good.

After doing my research and having been rx'd both name brand and generic xanax/alprazalom. IMO, the Gador brand 2mg bars from Argentina are the best quality generic and a lot less expensive. Also, Argentina does usually have very good quality meds in general.

all I know is 3+ doctors & 3 + pharmacists I know in real life and have known for years have all said that generics are at least 20% less potent & depending on the manufacturer and or country they come from maybe more. and there was something about different cheaper binders or something being used also on generics. I just know me, myself can tell the difference bwteen a generic Valium and name brand and generic hydro vs name brand is all I know. I have never had Xanax so dont know sorry

Your totally full of [censored] and most of you don't know the power of the mind.

http://www.fda.gov/cder/consumerinfo/generics_q&a.htm

3. Are generic drugs as strong as brand-name drugs?

Yes. FDA requires generic drugs to have the same quality, strength, purity and stability as brand-name drugs.


Most countries have simular guidlines as the FDA. If half of you realized how hard it was to make benzos you'd understand that it doesn't matter what country it comes from as long as its from an industrialized country than this whole my sticks are stronger than yours is bullshit. Drugs arean't potatoe chips name brand doesn't mean [censored]. The reason it costs more is cause they patient it and get several years to sell it without any competition so they can make their money back and turn a profit. I know 100 people will argue with me but if I can change 1 persons mind my time will be worth it. If you don't believe me, than at the very least don't go around telling misinformation, just word it like an opinion. Also, I was on xanax for over a year and I used to think that the gadors sucked til I mixed a few different kinds up and they all felt the same.

I ordered xanax 1mg from HealthyLifeMeds it took over a month to receive. I received a med I have never seen. It is Tranax-1, it says that it is Alprazolam and is in blister packs, made by a company called Cipla. Please can someone tell me about these?? Is this [censored] safe to take. Why can't these idiots send you what you order.

Thanks for the help

Has anyone dealt with dune/ivana and have any opinions on her serbian made Ksalol brand 1mg Xanax? People seem to agree that her serbian made Apaurin brand diazapam is very good.

Just my two cents, but there are subtle difference between brand and generic. No cardiac doctor would prescribe generic digoxin. And there is a huge controversy with premarin because no generic drug company can copy the patent. However, with benzos, I'd have to agree about the strength. Although,storage temperature does make a difference. I would trust a North American pharmacy over a Latin American, Indian or Asian pharmacy.

Never heard of it but I just saw one today. I did a search for it. It is made in India by a public company.

Did you try them? Are they any good?

They are smaller around than an Altoid but about the same thickness, with a very shallow score that is hard to break in half.

JUst be careful with that xanax stuff, it is great for relieveing stress but just be careful. It makes you act very calm and talk really slowly, luckily im a southerner but be careful with it. It's an escape from reality wich might be beneficial for some people, I went to the hospital the other day for stress, im not going to get into the specifics but this stuff (xanax) is addicting. I was taking 2 2mgs a day, but im disciplining myself to just take 4 quarters of one a day. Just be careful with the stuff its strong, watch your driving and be safe out there.

I've ordered alprazolam from NROP's and ,to me, they don't compair to upjohn,gador and what starlite sends. I have to take more and more often with bad after effects the next day.the above mentioned don't have that effect on me.I know we are all different but I won't order NROP generics anymore.

I hope that this is the right place to ask this question...

I used to take some benzo's sparingly,when I needed to rest or whatever.....I didn't take any at all for 2 years and took a xanax last month for sleep....I woke up in the night throwing up.I never thought it was from that but then....I tried ativan and the same thing happened....and even tried this yellow sleeping pill that my mom gave me....dalmane I think,and I threw up then too....

What could cause this.....nothing else makes me do it...I used to tolerate valium pretty good so I am trying that tonight,is that going to make me throw up too?...I know that noone knows for sure but what are your-alls opinion on the matter?Could any benzo make me throw up since I seem to have developed a tolerance issue, stomach-wise?
I am hoping that the valium works cause I have trouble sleeping lately....just wanting some opinions b/c I am not familiar with the effects of benzo's...like I said, I rarely ever touched them before.
Thanks.
Kammi

What i need is advise on how to get my primary care Doc to perscribe me what I need .I spent probably a couple of hours every day reading up on GAD ( General Anxiety Disorder) and Iam certain this what condition I have ! My marriage,my finanncial situation,and my relationship with my children are all suffering. About 6 months ago someone I know who has GAD gave me some of their medication they had been perscribed for this condition ,that besides ,becoming a hermit and not wanting to leave your house ,you also suffer from insomia, lack of energy to work and overall malaise. The drug xanax 2mg bars I found to work wonders for me at 4 mgs perday 1mg in the morn ,1 mg around noon till 1-2 PM and then 2 mg at night around 8:00Pm in the evening ! The HMO ,I belong to either has silient policy against this drug because of dependancy issuses, or bewcause of their hemophatic approach to health care wants you to exhaust every other method to deal with GAD frist .Well I already found my perfect fix and dont have the time for meditation classes,stress classes etc. Please someone P.M. with what you feel is a sure way to approach my Dr. to insure me a script. I cant afford to continue to buy via OP,and I should not have to ,when I pay plenty for health insurance for my family to this HMO ! It would be greatly appreciated !
