I have a small, white, round pill with an x on one side and a 2 on the other. Could this be generic Xanax? ## round yellow may say MAY... ## Pfizer lists the tablet with the X 2 marking as being a light blue and containing 2mgs of Alprazolam, which is a generic for Xanax, it is a time released formulation. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability, and headache. Ynn, can you double check that imprint and post back? Thank you!

I have extreme anxiety that is so bad that I cannot function. I am on a anti depression medicine but still it does not work. Dr. has me on Clonazepam 1 mg 4 to 5 times a day and they do not work either. Do you think changing to prozac and x-nax could work better? Thank you. ## Well, this site is not medical professionals, so we cannot possibly try to decide what medications would work best for you, only you and your doctor can decide that. Prozac contains the active ingredient Fluoxetine, it is an SSRI antidepressant. You did not saw which one you are currently on, so I do not know if this is the same drug class or not. However, if your current one is not helping, you may want to try something from a different drug class altogether and see if you get better results. Xanax contains the a...

I have been on xalkori for about a year now; diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer that mets to the pancreas. Lately, I have been waking up in the middle of the night with really bad acid reflux... wondering if anyone else taking Xalkori has experienced this. ## I have been on Xalkori for 8 months and i have sometimes experienced acid reflux as well, my doctor said he wasn't sure Xalkori could be blamed for that. I have noticed that the reflux mainly happens when I have a heavy meal for dinner. So what i do now is that i drink a glass of water with a little baking soda before going to bed and it seems to work well against the acidity in the stomach. Moreover, I put an extra pillow under my head and it's much better like this. I think that a light dinner can partly solve the proble...

My mom was diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC with only BM two weeks ago. The day before she was to get her port for Carbo/Taxol (which Medicare had pre-approved), the called and said her ALK came back positive so new plan is Xalkori. She went to get the med and the price is astronomical. She is on Medicare and there is absolutely no way that she can afford the drug, and no way even spread between the three kids we can make it work. Has anyone obtained the drug in Canada or Mexico? We're willing to do anything legal to get this for her. She got a grant that will cover two month of it, but after that we just don't know what to do. ## Is your mom low income? If she is, she might qualify for help paying her Medicare co/pay and other Medicare expenses. I have put a link below. She can al...

some say yes, some say no to using expired meds (XANAX). which is the correct answer?? ## In respect to Xanax, it does not turn into a dangerous substance, once it is expired, however, it does start to lose potency, so it is likely that it will not be as effective as it was, when it was newly prescribed. As to other medications, it depends on the specific drug, while most are safe to use and just less potent, like Xanax, there are others that can be dangerous and should be disposed of. Where there any others, in particular, that you needed information on?

Yes-what is the major difference between these 2 meds? I have taken xanax for several years. I'm thinking abt. changing to Buspar. Can you switch meds like these without tapering off the xanax. Does Buspar help w/ Panic attacks? ## Hi, I wanted to address the panic attacks you are experiencing. Often panic attacks and anxiety are the body's natural reaction to telling us something has gone wrong that needs to be addressed. It is usually some form of trauma that has happened in our life that creates the panic attacks and anxiety. Medication numbs the symptoms but do not address the root of the problem. Have you considered going into therapy to see what is causing the panic attacks and anxiety? ## buspar is suppose to be taken everyday its taken to level u out....zanax are suppose...

What is the cut off point for Klonapin to not get a DUI in CA? what about the 2 mg of Xanax? ## Driving under the influence of a controlled substance (any amount) can & will get you arrested. Whether the charges stick or not is another story. Are these your own pills, if not its an automatic Felony

Xanax, (alprazolam) is wildly popular and prescribed often. I voluntarily took myself off 1mg. of Xanax at bedtime as I was already taking benzodiazepines. Hangover and sluggishness the next AM were a problem. Not too terribly habit forming when titratrating down or switching to a alalog like diazepam. Years ago my Dr. dispensed Dalmane 30 Mg.for insomnia. They are definitely euphoric and very habit forming. The next day, I couldn't concentrate for hours. Clonazepam was safer and less hangover was apparent. ## Did you have a question for us or is this just a bunch of your thoughts? ## YES, I HAD A STATEMENT. XANAX IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE AND VERY POPULAR. ## Yes Xanax is both of those. It also works quite well and is pure poison, go figure? I'm not sure Klonopin is any 'safer...
