Best Generic Alprazolam (xanax) (Page 9)

I have been getting the 2mg Greenstones the last few years and they work much better than the Actavis. Now i read that greenstones were changed back in early 2014. Is it people that take these to feel high or people who really need them for anxiety and nothing else? Regardless if they have been changed they're still much better Actavis and I have heard mixed results on Sandoz. Dava seems to be crap. Took it once (looks to be from Endo who bought out Qualitest). Any opinions on the current state of the generic xanax manufactures? And lastly, no insurance company will give me the name brand. It's generic or nothing.

Re: Bird (# 140)

Yeah I was a lil nervous about trying the aurobindo generic, but I was forced to due to circumstances, however so far very good results! I might even like them better than the sandoz I've been taking for about a year. The activis ones were good too, very fast acting n hard hitting, but wear off pretty quickly. We'll see how I feel about these aurobindos once Ive been taking em for a cpl weeks.. The one brand I would outright refuse is Mylan. Those r absolute garbage n I believe they maybe have about a quarter of the amt they should have in em, if that.. I am not a big fan of the davas either, though they are not the worst, and certainly better than mylan. But everyone is diff, I know ppl who love davas.

Re: SanDOZEAlproblems (# 152)

Hey it’s me goozer sorry I’m late to your response. You are right about Sandoz. They are sleeper bars for sure not so much anti anxiety more heavy. Personally I have always stayed away from aurobindo products especially zofran and their benzos. I get 3mg xr and ir 2mg bars and I’ve been getting Greenstone for years now. Except Greenstone has been back ordered on their 3mg xrs for like a year now so my xrs have been the teva/actavis R 86 ones which are very different than Greenstone xr. The teva ones have a films that covers them and is taper proof while Greenstone 3mg doesn’t it just is the medication the film isn’t the best even if eating em I don’t like it so excited this month to final my have Greenstone xr back in stock... supposedly. I’ve been offered aurobindo xrs and have denied them every time. There was even a time when my pharmacy filled my 2mg bars with aurobindo bars and I walked out not knowing I got to my car to take one and realized I didn’t double check inside. I was furious cuz they told me ahead it would be Greenstone. I immediately took them back in and was lucky enough to get a swap out for the Greenstone bars. The shape of aurobindo bars and the way the powder is and edges you can just tell they are cheap and imo aurobindo is a cheap company and the medication has personally never worked for me not any of their meds so I have stayed away from them and refused their xr Xanax a few times but maybe they r good but I have refused them and even swapped a batch out for Greenstone but with Xanax staying on one generic can kinda get to you mentally you know like you want to change it up everyone in awhile. Like right now I’m trying to decide which bars I want for the next three months as on of my pharmacies has actavis and the other Greenstone. I think the one that has Greenstone can order the activas but they are pricey there were at the other one they can’t order Greenstone only actavis throughout the 3 months of fills so would be yellow bars for three months straight for me if I did that where if I did my original place there may be a chance one month they would be able to do activas and the rest Greenstone. I haven’t decided but if I were to fill any Xanax rx it has either got to be Greenstone or teva (actavis). Any other Xanax out there any more is just garbage. I was so excited when the breckenridge came out in 2017 I have an article on here about it but when I tried them I was terribly disappointed. Not only was I stuck with garbage bars made in india that did nothing for me that’s all the pharmacy had I had to get a new rx to get em else where as they made me sick even and did nothing for anxiety at all no sedation or relaxation if anything rebound anxiety was caused by breckenridge. My order of best generics follows and again I would stay away from aurobindo all meds they make are trash same with breckenridge they aren’t even made in the states.

1. Pfizer/Greenstone - brand and generic are the exact same here formerly (x a n a x 2) now u94 (pfizer) g3722 pill (Greenstone) - well balanced all around mild to strong hitting when taken and last the longest of any generic as far as efficiency and sedation. Never run out of these generics in a month well balanced and strong.

2. Teva (formerly actavis) -R039- a great generics. Teva may not be pfizer like Greenstone but they are the worlds largest and probably best quality maker of most medication out there. They say follow the money while this may not be pfizer generic company it’s a company that competes with pfizer and doesn’t cut corners and makes quality products in every part of the industry. I do believe they make great alprazolam as pfizer s competition. These pills are hard hitting and hit fast and are consistent and strong like Greenstone. They do seem do not last as long but alprazolam is meant to hit quick and fast for anxiety attacks anyways. Xr versions would be the ones made to last longer . Greenstone just last long because it comes from pfizer vats next to xr vats and somehow just is a well balanced lasting bar. R039 tablets hit like Xanax should hard and fast for a panic attack and end fairly soon like you would want a panic attack to. These work very well for what they are and need to do. I do wish they lasted a bit longer but they don’t need to they aren’t extended release Greenstone is just awesome in the way they last long because Xanax isn’t meant to last long like klonopin or valium, it is meant to be quick. Either way I like these just as much as Greenstone and honestly wish I could get half and half on my fills of half Greenstone and half teva (activas) bars but it doesn’t work that way so have to switch every month or three months. These r definitely greenstones competition and they are good and teva makes quality medication including all their benzos. If you taken clonazepam your either getting teva or qualitest (par) if you know what ones are good as accord is terrible. Teva makes quality and costly medication with expensive and quality active and inactive ingredients making these as food a choice as Greenstone it is just a preference of color for me sometimes but Greenstone is number one as it’s brand name at generic cost. If you look at greenstones ingredients compared to tevas alprazolam ingredients they are quite different from eachother while most generics are either more like actavis or Greenstone. So depends on these ingredients and you as person. This month I may get these teva generics instead of Greenstone just to change it up a bit as it’s been years in Greenstone lately and just get my 3mg xr as Greenstone as I’ve been getting teva 3mg xr soma switch is nice. Again teva one’s are hard hitting and stick to the original actavis formulation and haven’t changed it yet since they bought out activas which is great most company’s change a good generics formula once they get the rights teva has not they have kept actavis formula down to the inactive ingredients. Always a great choice but still my second Choice but never unhappy to see a bottle of these or greenstone bars.

3. Dava S 90 3 (par) bought dava but then discontinued making their alprazolam and started to dispense the qualitest generic for their company as Par(endo). So we lost the green bars and got the qualitest check marks pushed out more. I loved the dava green bars but honestly they aren’t even the og green bars. The og green bars were the A54 LL made by ESI Lederle Generics. Which are discontinued as well so no more green bars but the more May still be some par bottles left out there in some mom and pops shops. If these were still made I would get the davas this month. To me they are somewhere in between a Greenstone and a Sandoz. They hit hard and fast and last yet have a bit of that “sleeper” sedation to them but not nearly as bad as the Sandoz generics. I love sandoz though they’re a great company and I would love to try their xr alprazolam but have never been able to find any in my state. With xr it seems to only be teva (actavis), Greenstone, aurobindo (trash xr). Now I know everyone says Mylan alprazolam is the worst and it is the least and worst generic for instant release Xanax but for the xr or er alprazolam Mylan makes the best ! I call the 3mg xr by Mylan link moons and man they are some of the best alprazolam I’ve ever had but the hardest to ever find or come across I only have a few times. Miss you davas RIP

4. Sandoz- gg 249 bars are great bars but are a sleeper bar and can be heavy sedation for most users or sometimes for me non at all and just anxiety relief which is good but some times we want a kick with out medication and not a heavy one at times. You can never go wrong with Sandoz these days with so many s*** generics out there.

5. Aurobindo - y 21 bars. I don’t like cheap meds or medical manufacturers so I stay away from aurobindo at all cost for any drug.

6. Qualitest (par) - V 2090 pill- can never go wrong with the og qualitest formulations. Qualitest was a great company and I’m happy par has kept their formulation for their Xanax. These r good not great not scarce and also not everywhere either. For me these would be a rare fill but I would compare them to Sandoz bars but not as heavy. Not ones I’d pick but definitely would take over most every other but the ones above. Better than aurobindo

6. Breckenridge b707 bars blue- terrible generic not even made in the states. I would wait a month to not get these generics over getting them. They made me ill and did nothing for my anxiety. Made in India and worst quality Xanax generic out there imo

7. Farmapram- blank bars - since they are just so abundant and everywhere farma prams have to make this list. And honestly they are a great generic. Sometimes there is a lack of consistency with the efficiency and efficacy but when you go from a legit pharmacy that sells farmaprams they are good. Sometimes I feel like they are even stronger when u get a good deal than a regular bar sometimes I feel like the inconsistency makes it so some bars are like 3mg and others are like one. They r on this list as they are so abundant and everywhere now. But be careful they push out a lot of fake farmaprams just as much as they do real ones even in the seals u can get fake farmaprams.

Not sure if this helps but sorry for the late reply this is goozer. Right now I’d say Greenstone or teva bars only. Any other generic right now in time is going to be just way less effective and not as good as either of these two would be. I could go on with my list but most days now you don’t see other generics but these main ones above but there are better ones as well like the ESI Lederle Generics. Only get Greenstone, actavis (teva), or Sandoz if you can handle the heavy on em. Everything else is garbage.

Any feedback on anyone’s experience with xr or er alprazolam from Sandoz or aurobindo or any xr or er feedback at all would be appreciated! Thanks.

Re: RJ (# 150)

They didn’t change their formula someone online just said it and it spread like wild fire. It’s a years old decades old formulation and is the same as brand name pfizer they didn’t change their formula. Now there’s a chance they are using less active ingredients than they used to but the formula is the same just look up the active and inactive ingredients they have for now and then they are the same. The only thing that may have changed is how much alprazolam they are actually putting in them which could been less in some batches making peeps believe they changed up the whole formula but no that didn’t happen if it did they would have to inform their consumers. Pinching on the active ingredient I don’t see last them or the fda or dea though. Still the best generic ms along with Teva bars (actavis) only two good ones around it seems anymore

Re: Cindy (# 146)

I’ve denied aurobindo and even had them swap one rx out for greenstones because they gave me aurobindo. These r cheap Xanax made to fill the void of increased users in the country with cheaper Xanax. Greenstone and actavis (teva) are the only two good ones out there right now and Sandoz in third. But if the yellow bars worked best for you just ask your pharmacy to get you the teva bars. It seems like the actavis yellow bars are more so at corporate pharmacies and cheaper there while if u try to get actavis bars at a mom and pops pharmacy that usually has greenstones dispensed it’s harder for them to order in the yellow bars and cost them more while places like Walmart etc have yellow bars for cheap. I’ve been using Greenstone 2mg bars and teva (activas) 3mg xr for months now due to stock but this month I believe I will switch to and get the actavis (teva) bars r039 instead of greenstones and then get greenstones 3mg xr since I get both. So just a little switch. Yes greenstones inactive ingredients are very different from tevas yellow ones. There may have been an inactive ingredient in Greenstone your body didn’t like while the yellow ones don’t have the ingredient. I will never get aurobindo hars they r cheap hars made to fill the gap in demand increase right now for new patients that aren’t as well aware and will just take whatever generics. Aurobindo honestly doesn’t make any good meds. Every med I’ve had from them is either terrible or just doesn’t do anything especially their ondansetron. Everything they make sux is stay away from them. I’d like to hear feedback on their er ones if anyone has it but I’d never risk a month of aurobindo 3mgs only to see how they r. Sorry you didn’t like Greenstone I bet anything there’s an inactive ingredient in it that doesn’t go well with your body and most Xanax either is identical to greenstones inactive ingredients or tevas(activas) inactive ingredients and the two of them have very different inactive ingredients compared to every other one. But they still make the yellows don’t settle for terrible placebo aurobindos when they make Greenstone and activas still. Just ask for teva and you’ll get your yellow bars back.

Re: Lelo (# 143)

Greenstone is BRAND NAME XANAX. It is made by pfizer and has the same active and inactive ingredients in it as brand name Xanax. When people say they don’t like the Greenstone it’s like hearing I don’t like brand name Xanax.. it’s odd. It’s either one of their inactive ingredients that bugs you or straight up clearly a placebo effect is going on as GREENSTONE IS PFIZER BRAND NAME BARS. Again saying I don’t like Greenstone Xanax is the same as saying I don’t like brand name Xanax literally.

Re: Lelo (# 143)

Every pharmacy supplies what their wholesalers allow and they have the option to order which generic they want to dispense. Usually Sandoz or aurobindo at the moment. Just ask your pharmacy to order in Greenstone or teva for you like a few days before your fill so they have time to order it from their wholesaler which all pharmacy's get a daily order of these orders around noon or later and order daily just ask for the generics you want or you’ll be stuck with the cheapest ones they bought at the cheapest wholesale pricing because they want to make money. Just stay away from breckenridge and aurobindo talk about placebos and bad ingredients

Re: Blacksheep (# 141)

Honestly aurobindo makes terrible medications imo in all departments. I take 3mg xr xans and 2mg. I have always wanted some feedback on the 3mg xr aurobindos but honestly not good generics but never tried the xr ones but still are they good enough to out beat teva or greenstone xr highly doubtful

Of course.. why would brand name cost 1000$ and generics cost 25$ if it wasn’t better lol. Of course brand name is better. It’s funny, twenty years ago there were no generics, just people just knew brand name. Now there’s twenty generic sort drug we have to see what is the best it’s BS but I always say follow the money and yes they wouldn’t be $1k plus if they weren’t the best of its kind.
