Sounds like ONAX. Google it. I thought they were fake and took one and started watching tv. The next thing i remember i had eaten all i had (probably 5) and dont remember a damn thing. European i think. definitely had a delayed effect. That's why i kept taking them. Exactly like the quallude scene on wolf of wallstreet except i came to with a half a pizza on me and that stupid wanna be gundam movie with the blonde kid from sons of anarchy and my roommate asking me if i was ok. He said i kept pacing to the kitchen. Hmmmmm maybe a lot of frozen pizza choices that night, but you wouldn't be prescribed this in the US.

I have taken 2 mg Xanax for many years, I have seen all shapes sizes and colors. To my knowledge the only difference there is supposed to be is the manufacturing company that makes them. I found this is true to an extent, different manufacture company's don't always make or mix the contents the same as the next company. I stared on the yellow ones they worked, but my pharmacy stared to receive the white ones. They made my panic attacks and anxiety way worse! So know my doctor makes sure that I only receive green ones, I guess I was allergic to something that was added to the white ones. I suggest talking to your doctor and pharmacist this is how I got my information.

They are real if the ends are rounded off instead of squared or straight edge. 2 mg Xanax is what they are.

Xanax XR (Alprazolam extended release) mfg Pharmacia, from the insert from inside a bottle, mfg. in
2004/2005. Made in the USA. Pharmacia, and Upjohn, both are owned by parent, Pfizer, Inc.
0.5 mg. white, pentagonal shaped debossed with a "X"on one side, and a 0.5 on the other side.
1 mg., yellow, square-shaped tablets, debossed with an
"X", on one side, and "1" on the other side.
2mg. Blue, round shaped tablets, debossed,with a "X", on one side, and, a "2" on the other side.
3mg. (Green) triangular shaped tablets, debossed, with an "X" on one side, and a "3" on the other side.
Printed and quoted from Pharmacia and Upjohn Co.
a subsidiary of Pharmacia Corp. Kalamazoo, Michigan 49001, USA. Insert printed in the year 2003.
Normally, or traditionally, the USA patent, on a drug, runs 17 yrs. The mfg, with a attorney team, can attempt to delay, the "patent", two examples, Sanofi, who bought out the patent, before the 17yrs were up on the hypnotic, Ambien, was originally, released in the USA, by Searle Inc, in the early 1990's. Sanofi, either bought out Searle Inc, via a merger, or, just bought out the patent rights, by a special contract, to manufacture
Zolpidem, better known in the USA, as Ambien. When the patent expired, in November of 2006, Sanofi, got a 6 month reprieve, to continue manufacturing the Ambien, with multiple price increases all along the way, for a additional 6 months, but, the FDA/DEA, only allowed a 6 month extention, the patent expiring in late April, of 2007. By 2008, sixteen (16) copy cat generic drug manufacturers, within the USA, were pumping out Zolpidem Tartrate (Ambien in the USA, Stillnox, outside the USA)
Example two, Hoffman-La Roche Inc, of 340 Kingsland Street, Nutley, NJ USA 07110, produced diazepam, under, the patent protection, of the marketing name, Valium, beginning in 1963. Hoffman LA Roche, Inc, (foreign parent, in the late 1970's, was,
Curacoa Pharmaceuticals, NV, Netherlands, West Antilles) successfully stalled the patent expiration date, due in 1980, for three years, their efforts, finally exhausted in the USA, by year 1983. How? by a team of lawyers, stalling the FDA and DEA, in the USA, to squeeze, every dollar of profit they could, before a onslaught, the world has never seen, in generic competition. The Dun & Bradstreet report in front of me, at this moment, states, that, on June 4, 1979, Hoffman LA Roche sales were approximately this:
$500,000,000.00 Yes, that is five hundred million dollars, with a net worth of $250,000,000.00 and,
9,200 employees, with 8,200 of them working at the state of the art "120 acre Roche Park" owning, three
million SF in in over 68 buildings, just in New Jersey.
Caracoa Pharma was strictly a holding company, also with five more active subsidiaries. The company we all know that started Valium, is a business, "quote a member of F Hoffman-LaRoche & Co. of Basle, Switzerland. The USA division started in NYC, but was moved to New Jersey, in 1929. In 1979, they had 8,000 USA hospital accounts, and over 20,000 drug store accounts, in the USA. Valium, according to Pharmacy Times magazines, Verispans Vector One Reports, from REDBOOK, Pharmacy's Fundamental Reference, every yr audits, the prescriptions filled in the USA, and Roche Valium was no 1, for twenty yrs in a row from 1963, until 1983. Upjohn uprooted Valium, with their patented, Xanax, (alprazolam) very shortly afterwards, as did, the patented, lorazepam Benzo,
marketed by Wyeth Labs, as "Ativan". The following year 1984, Xanax, became the instant, best seller benzo, in the USA, with their instant release,
white oblong, football shaped 0.25mg,, 0.5 mg peach, and, the 1 mg lavender "Xanax" tabs, debossed, Xanax 1.0. Later on, the, streetname,
"bars" for (soapbars) was attributed the name for the,
breakaway, Upjohn formulation, of instant release, 2 mg Xanax, offered by the year 1991. Source:PDR
By 1994, only 10+ years after Xanax was released in the USA, forty seven, yes 47 USA pharmaceutical firms, all had 47 different National Drug code numbers, to offer generic alprazolam, the most popular by 1995 in generics, was Greenstone, Geneva, Purepac, and, NovoPharm, all that sold Generic Alprazolam, in bottles large enough to hold 1,000 generic Xanax. "Greenstone" sold their 1,000 count bottles to USA pharmacies, AWP, (Average Wholesale Price) for $570.11, which is, wholesale, per pill of about 57 cents each. According to PDR Generics, page 84, by 1994, the average sales price of branded Xanax was 71cents US, vs. 63 cents Generic, for alprazolam "just in the
0.5 mg tabs". By the year 1991, if not before, Xanax, was offered, in the wildly popular, 2 mg bar, white, debossed Xanax on one side, and, 94 on the other side. Upjohn also, used the same colors, but debossed, the 0.25mg Xanax as 29, (back side), 0.5mg debossed 55 on the other side, and, the purple football pills, were debossed Xanax on one side, underneath that 1.0, and the backside, embossed 90. By 1988, only five yrs after Valium lost its patent, Xanax, was No 3, in the top 200 selling prescription drugs in the USA. "by brand name and generic name combinaton", and Roche Valium, had slipped to position number 33. Generic Diazepam by Rugby, was the top generic diazepam prescription, in 1988, at Number, 129. "Ativan" by Wyeth was No. 56, and Lorazepam, was also listed as No 163, as by 1988, the Wyeth patent had either expired, or was sold, or
"farmed out" by Wyeth, to Rugby, who made the generic version of Lorazepam.

In both years, 2008, and again, in the calender yr,of 2010, "alprazolam" held steady as in Number 8 positon, as the top selling benzo, in the USA. Source:
REDBOOK page 185, 43,585,790 prescriptions for all forms, of Generic Xanax were filled in the USA. REDBOOK year 2009, Diazepam trailed at NO 42, with 13,870,156 scripts filled for any form of GENERIC VALIUM. A separate Top 200 drug list, belonging to Verispan's Vector One National Reports, show, that, brand name "Xanax" nor, brand name "Valium" reached the top 200 brand names for calender yr 2008, ditto, for calender year 2010. Over 2,000 meds are usually advertised in the USA Physicians Desk Reference, but, a recent management change, with PDR, has reduced, to a degree, the increasing number count of ethical pharmaceuticals in that book. A surprising number of meds are no longer advertised,
in the long established PDR, only, since the year 2007, but are still being manufactured, sometimes referred to as "orphan drugs".

Interestingly, "Xanax" either in instant release, or, in
extended release versions, are not even advertised in the current 2012 Physicians Desk Reference, the same is true of Roche Valium. Pharma firms, pay to be in the "bible for M.D's" (Physicians Desk Reference).
Another fact, Diazepam, is manufactured, in 37 other countries, excluding the USA, all countries, considered "modern industrialized countries" in over 150 marketing names. Source: Martindale, the Extra
Pharmacopoeia, (pharmaceutical press of London UK)
2009 edition. ISBN 978-0-85369-840-1

Also, Alprazolam, is also marketed in the same 37 countries, excluding the USA, in 145 different marketing names. A standout country, that produces more alprazolam, (Xanax, Tafil, Alplax) is ARGENTINA, WITH, 23 different marketing names, and 23 different manufacturer's of alprazolam, including the elusive, highly sought after Gador Pharma "Alplax" 2 mg bars............................3rd world and hostile nations, such as all of Africa, excluding
South Africa, and, all of the Middle East, except Israel, and Turkey, are excluded from my source, the $700.00 retail two volume set of books (Martindale) published every other year.
I hope this wall of text, expands, the prescription drug info to consumers, how vast, these Benzo's mentioned, are marketed worldwide, by all legitimate ethical pharmaceutical manufacturers.
