Don V - that would be total 2mg (but under strength as permitted in the USA, and widely recognized as the poorest make of them all, including the awful Sandoz GG247/249/249 tablets.) I recommend branded XANAX or Gador ALPLAX for potency without any inhibitory excipients. The only USA made generic, as noted previously, which is up to that standard is Greenstone. There are surely enough answers here to convince you that the Mylan USA product is so bad it is not worth using at all.

I've been on xanax for years. Mylan does not work as other genetic xanax do. I talked to my doctor about this he stated it work different on every one.

Mylans are and tend to be stronger because of the manufacturer and where there made (mexico) I did read how someone said xanax makes u sleepy and mylan makes u more happy and buzzed up - not as down, they are more potent period. I have taken xanax 4 years. 4.. Green bars (extended), footballs, yellow bars, white bars (gg`s, g s, % onax 2s) the mylan pies tend to have anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 milligrams, made in mexico sloppily again.. Mylans hit faster, I don't have to take as many as of the bars. Regularly I'll take 2 bars to 2 1/2 at a time for relaxing my anxiety and mind, and I take 1 "2" mg mylan and I don't feel the need to take any more. Yellow bars are s***. Green are decent but to time released, and white bars gg and onax are the only one I truly can say work well, but I'm letting you know now whatever it is more or the less that's in mylan will kick your ass if ur used to a regular bar. Believe me. Generic, yes, but made different and quicker means, f*** ups, quickly dispensing them and not caring. Mexico and the pharmaceutical company. Believe me "Lil Wayne" voice ??

Any of you that need to talk about getting 'High' or the best Country to order from will one day be having a similar conversation while bending over behind bars about Xanax bars.

The only green alp bars I am aware of are the bi-scored 2mg by Dava which are certainly NOT time-released as claimed below.
Yellow bars? Both Actavis Purepac USA & a crude copy branded ALPROX (Pakistan) carry 'P039' imprint and there is little wrong with the Purepac - though they ARE understrength by around 10-15%. Apparently that's fine in the US but would be illegal in Europe. Alprox are complete garbage. Onax do not either taste of or feel like alprazolam at all and some people have tested them & found them to contain some strange sedative and little or no alprazolam at all.
I stick to Xanax and Alplax, the latter made in Argentina by Gador, SA and are as good as branded Xanax. As for Mylan you will note that I have already said that if they are the ex-Merck generic then quality is goid; US made Mylan are not worth touching they are so poor.

1.Greenstone
2.Sandoz (gg249)
3.DAVA (green bars s 90 3
4.Actavis (yellow ro39)
5.qualitest.

These are the best working ones in that order. Always steer clear of MYLAN. They make good American medication however they do not make ANY BENZO up to par.

"No wonder the vast majority of American patients have to make do with second rate medications, especially as different pharmacies do not seem to be permitted to order specific makes as any pharmacy anywhere else can."

The second part is wrong. Most American pharmacies, including the big chains, will order whatever generic manufacturer you request. Once in awhile they will be unable to obtain that particular manufacturer, in which case they will give you a list of other manufacturers to choose from. Or just call around until you find a pharmacy that has, or can order, the manufacturer you want.

The problem comes with the insurance companies that require that you use mail order to receive a 90-day supply (not all do so, bu many do). They won't even tell you what manufacturer they are going to send (or will give you incorrect information), let alone allow you to order a specific manufacturer. That is why I *always* get my clonazepam at a retail pharmacy, and pay out of pocket if necessary to get a 90-day supply (the stuff is dirt cheap anyway). GOTTA be Teva.

And I agree that Mylan is the absolute worst alprazolam. Never had any other generic that was remotely THAT bad...had to take at least twice as much for the same effect, and even then it didn't feel right. My other Mylan generics have been fine...I wonder why they can't get the benzos right?

Of course with all the mega-mergers taking place in the generics industry these days, some good options are going away, and a drug that has the same manufacturer NAME as before may actually be made differently. An example is the once great Purepac alprazolam. When they were bought be Actavis, and the alprazolam was renamed Actavis, it was still the same great formula. But now Watson bought Actavis (and took on the Actavis name), and the "Actavis" alprazolam is now lousy (though not as bad as Mylan...no other alprazolam could be remotely THAT bad).

Greenstone *should* be good since it is just the original Pfizer Xanax under a different name. And yes, Mylan alprazolam is the worst excuse for a generic substitute of ANY kind that I have ever taken. Weird, because other kinds of Mylan generics have been very effective.

Yep just as strong as the bars and the Mylan A4 last longer. I prefer them to the bars. The Valium I used to get was Mylan and so was the Ativan. Mylan is a great co for making benzodiazepines. The a4s are at the very least the same as the bars.

VALIUM is a brand made by Hoffmann la Roche of Basel, Switzerland. It was the original brand name registered & patented as diazepam, for which 'Valium' was their trade name, was discovered & developed by a team of Roche employees led by Prof Dr Leo Sternbach; it was the 2nd benzodiazepine discovered after chlordiazepoxide, which Roche marketed under trade name LIBRIUM. The DIAZEPAM you used made by Mylan (which I consider to be amongst the poorest quality medications I have ever had - worse than some Pakistani counterfeits) can not be called VALIUM which can ONLY be used for Roche's product, just as 'Xanax' is Pfizer/Upjohn's brand of alprazolam and can not be used to describe any generic alprazolam by any other company. I have noticed so often that many posters here, sho ALL turn out to be American, use registered trade names when describing a generic when they ought to use the INN, the actual name of the DRUG and not the BRAND NAME. If you say 'Valium' you are talking of the Roche product. Mylan make generic DIAZEPAM and ALPRAZOLAM of a quality which would not be deemed acceptable for sale in Europe, so poor are they. Mylan's ex-Merck Generics products, not made in the USA, are certainly acceptable and their alprazolam (STOP CALLING IT XANAX) is rather good at a very competitive price; compared with Xanax, for which my pharmacy charges €21 per box oc 50 x 1mg, the Mylan generic, an unmarked light blue ovoid tablet, costs €12 for 50. I hold a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which reduces the price to around 10% of that so 50 x European made ex-Merck GOOD Mylan would cost me the equivalent of $0.98. As for the US-made Mylan alprazolam & Diazepam, I think they are fit for nothing more than flushing down a lavatory for all the good they would do. The diazepam in particular is absolute garbage which really should not be permitted to be sold; we evaluated some along with many other generics at the University of Glasgow, & although claimed to be 10mg, not a single tablet contained more than 8mg diazepam. Which would make them illegal here. But my point is really PLEASE CAN WE STOP USING REGISTERED AND PATENTED TRADE NAMES WHEN REFERRING TO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TABLETS/CAPSULES WHICH ARE MADE BY OTHER COMPANIES AND USE THE INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED NAME OF THE DRUG UNDER DISCUSSION? PLEASE? Thank you.
