Best Generic Alprazolam (xanax) (Page 10)
(Newest replies first)

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.

I agree with what you say and there could be a difference from time to time with strength and yes a lot of Xanax might come from foreign lands. You can still request and pay for the name brand drug. CVS orders the cheapest pill available, so does every other pharmacy to make the most money. If they know it is a questionable brand they won't continue to order from that supplier. The FDA would be the agency to contact to address your concern and you could always pay a lab to analyze the contents. They might not do this for a consumer of a controlled medicine as it would require you shipping Federally Scheduled medicine using a common carrier and across State lines.

Well just my 2 cents here but i'm sure i'm not the only who who has encountered this.. i've been on xanax since 1985 and i don't really need much to get me thru the day.. i usually take .5mg at a time and i used the brand name till the generic came out (I don't even recall exactly when that was now) and everything was fine up until this year.. may of 2016.. I had no idea there were that many different makers of generic xanax.. the pharmacy i used to get it at closed so i went to cvs and no lie the generic they sold me smelled like glue inside the bottle... but i took it anyway and i noticed right away that it made me feel like i've never felt before... and it wasn't good or anything close to what xanax is supposed to do ...so i told them and they just acted like ehh.. so what.. so i figured just bite the bullet and take em.. about a week in I was actually starting to get sick and i knew it was the pills... so i called cvs again and they said to bring the pills in and they would switch them... and they did... and gave me the same pills right back... which of course still don't work... so i went to another pharmacy and got something different and that brand was davi... this was a completely different looking pill from the ones i got at cvs... cvs had sandoz which were blue and oval shaped... the davi pills somewhat worked... but not like it should have... i asked the pharmacist and she said its hard to get a handle on a lot of the generics now because most of them are no longer made here... and that's mostly in the last year or so... so to say there's no difference and they should all work the same sounds right.. but in fact ..its not right... i'm not even sure who i can talk to about this... all i can do is tell you that there is definitely a difference... and that wasn't so 3 years ago... or even 2 years ago... at least not in my experience... with the internet being what it is today you'd think there would be a way to find out what really does work and what doesn't, but i don't see that and wish i could find someplace that was current (within the last year anyway) about which manufacturer is really as close to what xanax used to be. Thanks a bunch.

Alprazolam is a psychotropic mind altering drug and no matter where you get them legally you might find a slight difference between brands. When we start to analyze and compare our brands, that is well sorry just plain weird
