Yes, it most certainly is, it is Alaprazolam Extended Release 2mgs, a generic for Xanax XR.

I am assuming by your concern she is not supposed to have such and it hasn't been prescribed for her, so you will more than likely want to have a chat with her about it.

Relax...she's not doing hard street drugs or alcohol (from what you said). Xanax is a drug meant for relaxtion, and if anything I would have a talk with your daughter about what's bothering her or what might be causing her anxiety. Xanax is very a commonly prescribed drug, and if she feels the need to be taking it or experimenting with it, she probably needs it or some other help to deal with her issues. Talk to her about it, but not as though she's done something terribly wrong or anything. The last thing she needs is for you to give her more grief when, by your account, she may in fact need the drug and should see a psychiatrist if necessary to get what help she may need. I cannot stress strongly enough; the way to get your kids to not do drugs is to get them the help they need in one form or another; she may nee psychiatric help or medication and the longer she waits to get said help, the worse the situation could become.

I have to disagree with Dan.....2mg xanax is hardly ever for relaxation in teens and young adults (and even some older users)....If she has a 2mg, she's looking to mix it with either weed or worse yet.....alcohol. Xanax (and generic forms) especially 2mg bars, have sort of a drunk sensation, and makes it easier to get drunk quicker and off of less alcohol. Worse yet, it has a sort of black out, memory eraser quality to the next morning, making it pretty much an cheap and easily accessible date rape drug. Many female friends of mine that have used Xanax recreationally, all quit for the same reason.....they take it knowingly and willingly while partying with friends, and eventually one night, something happens while they're passed out. xanax and alcohol (and it's fair to assume marijuana as well, she didn't just start doing xanax, she built up to it) will usually zonk you out to the point that a bomb could go off and it wouldn't wake you up.
bad news......and trust, the mistakes I didn't make growing up, my friends did...so I have a fair idea of what I'm talking about

NO! This is NOT an extended release alprazolam tablet at all. It is instant release 2mg alprazolam made by Greenstone; very high quality and very useful for anxiety conditions and irritable bowel syndrome. It can also help with period pains, being a superb muscle-relaxant. Extended release alprazolam are normally blue and pentagon-shaped, with the imprint 'P&U66' or 'UPJOHN 66'.
The maximum recommended dosage daily is 6mg.

This is what we call on the streets a Xanbar! If you found it in your daughters' room (take it from me) she is using it as a drug! Usually when u take a 'Bar you drink and smoke weed with it to boost your high. I also agree with what an earlier person said about this would not be her first encounter with drugs because it's not one that you use as your first time. I'm speaking from someone in her position so maybe you should talk to her about it ASAP

I would say taking bars is a potential problem. Benzodiazepines (xanax,valium, kolonopin, ativan, ect.) became popular and replaced many barbiturates (pentobarbital, phenobarbital, cyclobarbital, ect.) because barbiturates are much easier to overdose on. Janis Joplin was a testimony to barbituate abuse. The real problem with xanax is it's very short acting, relative to other benzos so it is extremely addictive to some people, especially if the user has the tendency to like CNS depressents ( like myself) such as alcohol, valium, kolonopin,...etc. Dependency can develop in a matter of days depending on how many mg she is taking. Note that 2mg is the largest dose they make. One of those pills is equivalent to taking 8 .25 mg. Xanax has made me do things identical to alcohol. Fighting with my girlfriend and crashing cars was my specialty. My worry is the wreckless, risk taking behavior she might engage in while taking them. It is hard to tell. Some people can eat one and stop. (not me) Others have to eat the whole prescription. I think about it like drinking. Some people can have one or two drinks. Others (me included) have to polish off the bottle. Also xanax makes me feel I'm not messed up when I am. I developed a tolerance where I felt fine but everyone knew I was messed up. It is a strange drug.

I totally disagree with some of you who thinks she could be taking xanax and drinking at the same time. It could she is just using it to sleep. Or yet shes using to feel stable and calm from going ape s**t...

But the worst scenario is she couldd be doing coke and needs the bar to calm down. honestly she's young and teenager. of course you can experiment. It doesnt mean shes ruining her life. in high school I used to do so much drugs. I still was in the top 10%. So dont try and justify to her and tell her that she's my become a failer from doing drugs.

Get you head out of the clouds. A teenager with Xanbar. Believe me she's not having trouble sleeping! Taking from a mom who waited to long and didn't want to think my child would do such a thing. Don't wait, it's to get high from, to speed up the high of drinking. DO NOT WAIT. It's to late for me, don't make it to late for you.

No you are wrong this IS an extremely dangerous drug that can kill you. It can kill you if you overdose or mix with alcohol easily or if you get addicted and then stop suddenly withdrawl can kill you! So yes it is very serious and dangerous stop misinforming people because it may cause someone to die.

READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT

You need to know this it is very important. I am prescribed Xanax because I really kind of cheated the system to get prescribed it. But it was only because I took it for a couple of months through other means, and when I stopped taking it (thinking I'll just stop easily cause it's not good to take it if you're not prescribed it), I started hallucinating and everything slowed down. It was very scary. I had nightmares about skeletons and zombies that felt like it was real. I didn't know what was real and what wasn't. It is a very very scary, and if she stops taking it and doesn't taper off, she could die.

It is the only pharmaceutical medication that you can die from if you don't taper off slowly. You should never have let her take this medication without a doctor's input and approval and a prescription from the doctor. I understand it is hard to be a mother, especially a single mother. I was a single mother of two and it was very very hard, but taking Xanax is really not the right way. If you're going to take it you should take it in a very very very small dose like .25 mg. They can be very dangerous and can scare you if you try to come off of them without tapering. Just remember to talk to a doctor if she comes off of these. Do not let her do it cold turkey - she will get scared to death. Everything will slow down like she's moving in slow motion and she will start hallucinating. Her pupils will appear as big as her whole eye with the eye color and everything will be all black, that's how much she will be hallucinating. It is very scary - do not let her go through this. It is the scariest thing I've ever been through and I have been through some scary things like having to jump out of a moving car going about 20 miles an hour because these guys were taking me back to my ex-boyfriend that was going to beat the living crap out of me. I was so scared I'd rather jump out of a moving car. I've been in some very scary situations and nothing could come close to how scary this withdrawal from coming off Xanax was. If you want to write back so I can tell you more about this my email is {edited for privacy}
