Which Xanax Is Best

I'm going to get my script soon, ive been taking the Actavis brand (Walgreens) and I asked if my next refill it could be the Greenstone g3722. My dosage I'd 2mg. I has the Mylan xr but would say the ACTAVIS is better. Should I stick to Actavis or go for Greenstone? I haven't tried Sandoz nor Dava. ## Greenstone use to be best as they we're bought out by parent co.of Xanax but they dilluated the formula a few years ago. I've been using the 2mg XR Actavis and their not too bad...so yes Actavis works. ## No one "diluted" the formula when a new company bought them. @Benzolover, you seem like you need some further understanding of what Xanax is and does, just a tad too excited about the drug. ## I'm very informed on this drug. But I just wanted to ask what was...

I just wanted to know which version of xanax tablets are better and more effective? Green s 903 or yellow r 039 xanax rectangular? Any help appreciated! ## Both are very good. You will find both effective. ## @Erica, I believe an answer like Eddy's can only come from someone who's actually tried both pills, so he may very well be right in his own opinion.. but it's important to know first and foremost that these types of medications can still effect each person differently. In which case, it would probably be best to consult with your doctor first before trying out anything new. Is this your first time taking Alprazolam? ## Yes I feel very little difference personal preferences and the way your body breaks it down the only advantage of the yellow r039 is 4 little pieces comp...

I have been on 2mg bars 4 times daily for over 5 yrs. When taken as prescribed it is the best. I have bipolar disorder and severe anxiety. Just ask doctor first and be willing to try other benzos cause one might work better for u. ## That is a huge habit. You are hooked. I am hooked. I'm not going to judge you at all. However what happens if you run out, or the doctor moves or stop practicing. Xanax is a wonder drug, but is very hard to stop, perhaps the hardest drug? You must experience it to know how lovely Alprazolam is on the way out. Getting back to you, 8 mg a day is a lot and so many here have lost their prescriber for a variety of reasons. Good luck!

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. ## 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...

Trying to taper off xanax or get some in Chicago area. Any help? What doc will help me? ## From what I could gather, Dr. Zabrin Inan is a psychiatrist in Chicago, IL who seems to have a track record that many online reviewers describe as someone who is "pill happy". The phone number to her office is 773-752-6000. I would think someone like this should be able to prescribe you a comfortable amount to taper off with over several weeks time. None the less, if you suffer from anxiety and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), usually your best bet is to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. Reason being is that they are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and many general physicians are reluctant to prescribe contro...

Please help I want to stay on my same medication just change the 2 mg xanax to the 2 mg clonazepam generic for klonopine (cost) ## Hi alice, In my opinion, if you suffer from anxiety/depression and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), your best bet it usually to see a psychiatrist,...

So after literally years of having to go from pharmacy to pharmacy to find one that either would or could regularly stock my preferred manufacturers of my medications. I, like I'm sure many of you out there, are very sensitive to the inactive ingredients that some companies use in their patent to make their version of the product, but after a decade's worth longitudinal study, I can say UNEQUIVOCALLY, based on my own personal empirical data, that the Greenstone LLC, 2mg Authorized Generics are in fact THE BEST XANAX YOU CAN GET. IT IS LITERALLY MOLECULARLY IDENTICAL TO THE BRAND NAME, AND A FRACTION OF THE PRICE. The best way to obtain it **HASSLE FREE** from the pharmacy, again based on my own empirical data, is to have your physician write on your paper prescriptions something...

It is white, rectangle w/ R 039 w/a score after the R & b/w each #........On the 2nd side it only has 3 scores ## It could be although it sounds real. I'd have to see it? When in doubt, throw it out! ## @Brittany, Eddy is right that you should not take anything that you don't know about. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this particular pill and from the looks of it, I get the sense that it's definitely a counterfeit product (from Pakistan perhaps). The real bars are actually depicted as being yellow in color as opposed to white. Manufacturer: Actavis National Drug Code (NDC): 00228-2039 Although some people have argued that these white bars do contain xanax, whether or not they are legitimate and safe is still another big concern. It's probably best to play it...

Hi. Surprisingly my body likes Mylan better than other brands. I have tried Greenstone and Sandoz and don't like any of them Last time I got Alprazolam was back in 2012 that CVS carried it. I live in California and have not been able to find one single pharmacy who carries the Mylan brand. I would appreciate it if anyone who has recently filled a Mylan brand prescription in US would help me with this. Thanks so much. ## Best brand of 1 s of xanax is the peach teva ## Rite Aid, CVS, and Costco ## My cvs pharmacy switched to Milan a3 from the previous brand Sandoz that says gg 257 on the pill. I feel like they don't work at all. I've taken this medication for years at less than the prescribed dose and done well. My refill with the Milan a3 seems like a placebo or something. I ...

I live in Nampa, Idaho, 20 minutes from Boise. I just moved here and am looking for a doctor who has no problem prescribing Xanax. I have terrible anxiety. ## Xanax is a Benzodiazepine, so it has the potential to be habit forming and such prescriptions are also monitored by the government, so it's highly unlikely that you'll find a doctor that'll be casual about prescribing it. The best thing you can do is set up an appointment with a new doctor, but don't ask in advance if they'll prescribe any particular medication, because they will most likely see that as drug seeking behavior. Once you get an appointment make sure that they get a full copy of your current medical records, so they can see what has and what hasn't worked for you, as documented by a fellow phys...

Looks just like a blue football and is making me have heart aches my balance is off and feel like i'm fixing to have seizure. What did I take? ## They could be fake but if you provide the NDC # on the pill perhaps someone could attempt to answer your question. It is always best to only take medicine prescribed to you? ## Hello, Kandy! How are you doing? If you are feeling so horrible and are unsure of what you took, please seek medical attention. Xanax can cause seizures in some people, though it can also be used to prevent them, but it's not very common. The FDA lists it as carrying the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Were there any markings on it?

Be extremely careful with this matter. You're literally playing with death if done improper. You are at a high risk of seizures and withdrawl may take a week or so. I was in jail on 120 mg. of methadone and taking only 2 2mg of xanax daily. Within three days I was admitted to the icu unit of a local hospital for nearly a week. I absolutely knew nothing- not even how to eat. I had had a severe seizure. Loading someone up with phenabarbs every couple of hours for approximately 12 hours at first, then prn for two or three days, is perhaps the best way to go. Remember, xanax is Life threatening. Most other drug withdrawal is not with the exception of alcohol. ## I freaked an E.R doctor out when I finally decided to present myself, about one week into a withdrawal. He couldn't believ...

I have a dark green bar with the correct imprint its just alot darker green then the ones ive had before ## Green Bars are made by more than one manufacturer. ## I'd like the 2 MG xanax 4xs a day.

The amount you're seeking is very high and will be hard to find ## Robin, As Eddy stated a bipolar dx can be a complex syndrome to treat and rarely if ever responds solely to high doses of benzodiazepines like Xanax alone.Always best to seek professional assistance to effectively treat your condition and not just your symptoms.good luck finding relief..... regards Kenie

My dr has me on 1mg of xanax and I am still having anxiety, so he put me on buspar as well. Is it safe and will it work? ## Hi Mary, If your doctor prescribed both medications then I believe it is his or her professional opinion (after an in person evaluation & reviewing your medical records) that you can safely take them together in the doses that you were put on. My understanding is that your prescribing doctor also believes they will work well together... So I think if you're going to question their "expertise", perhaps it would be best to seek the opinion of another medical doctor (or pharmacist) outside of your network. I'd also encourage you to check out the University of Maryland Medical Center (umm.edu / drug interaction tool) for good measure, where you can ...

Just moved to middletown, NY, Orange County. I need to find a doctor who perscribes xanax for my panic attacks. Anyone know of any docs in this area?? ## If you suffer from anxiety and need a Benzodiazepine class medication (like Xanax), your best bet it usually to see a psychiatrist, rather than a regular medical doctor. They are better trained in the types of medications that handle these problems and many GPs are reluctant to prescribe controlled substances due to abuse and the heavy regulations that they have to abide by from the government. Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any certain medication when you see a new doctor. Make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach is to discuss what has and hasn't ...
