Aurobindo Alprazolam Er Vs Greenstone Xr, Sandoz & Actavis Er (Page 3)

Updated

Ok so a previous conversation I had with alprazolam user was with the newly approved Auribindo alprazolam ERs here in the US. They only make extended release here on US and they make instant release as well but do not believe they are approved in the US just the extended release ER/XR..and aurobindos is as follows:

.5mg er- x 72
1mg er- x 73
2mg er- x 74
3mg er- x 75

I have not yet tried any of the auribindo alprazolam products. I know they are made from India and just my preference I enjoy USA made medicine. I have been doing just great on all greenstone xr / er tablets and think they are great but within the last few years auribindo, sandoz, activas have made their own extended or xr or er version of alprazolam. The new sandoz er looks nice and well made but I have stayed away from sandoz since it started the press underground market and ruined sandoz alprazolam with all the fakes so I stay away from sandoz since and activas I stay away from depending on the medicine.

Which leads me to my question which is the best of most preferred alprazolam extended er and xr release: greenstone(my preferred but only tried activas er) sandoz activas or auribindo. I would love to hear your feedback and any experiences with these medicines as I take greenstone xr and was wondering if it is the most efficient but have not tried the Indian aurobindo or sandoz or activas er..which is your favorite and what do you all think of auribindo alprazolam er compared to greenstone xr alprazolam? Thanks can't wait for some feedback.

Greenstone or aurobindo or sandoz or activas on extended release which is best?

I have tried them all. For a while, greenstone was the best. Now I believe that Sandoz Product has the best efficacy.

If you take excederin for a headache, and if works for you, but, then all the sudden you don’t have access to that brand, genetics don’t always have the same ingredients so it won’t have the same results taking away your headache.
Headaches are no less real that anxiety, so….. take a Xanax, and stop judging people.

Does anyone else get forced to take this generic? It seems like it might suck, and I know CVS or Walgreens isn’t going to special order Greenstone for me. What’s the best Xanax XR brand? And where do you get yours?

The greenstone alprazalam 3 mg XR has a hard center that releases slowly instead of the other brands which pretty much release quickly. I am going to be forced to take a different brand because of a recall!!

Do not cold turkey under any circumstances! You could seizure I wanted to wean off so I read PDR it says 0.5 mg less for two weeks then another 0.5 mg less two weeks my psychiatrist who had been giving me Xanax had to read this so it took 8 weeks but no withdrawal. You need a psychiatrist or Dr to order you 0.25 and how ever many that takes to your current dosage. You go down by 0.25 every two weeks. I was wrong on saying 0.5 - it's 0.25 mg less every two weeks. I started at 3mg daily minus one 0.25 pill for two weeks and so on so because you are tapering slowly with small amount at a time. Your body will adjust and you will not have withdrawal symptoms. My friend tried this with a pill cutter but it's hard to get the dose exact, so if you can get a doc to help you taper or you can do it yourself but very slowly. Xanax is highly addictive and body needs time to adjust. Hope this helps.

Also just for future reference my favorite is Sandoz cause I can't find greenstone but they all have alprazolam and need to taper slowly. Good luck, I'd like to know the outcome!

Re: Veronica (# 33) Expand Referenced Message

I have found in my experience that if I take more alprazolam than I am used to it keeps me awake and I am agitated hence the opposite effect also found that sometimes less is best when experimenting with rew meds so please be patient take ur regular prescribed dosage maybe a little less! Hope this helped

I haven't read this thread in a while. I can't believe any of you are taking poison Aurobindo drugs for anything. If you see my posts at the beginning of this thread, you will see what I went through with that crap. Now it appears CVS is using Aurobindo for most of their prescriptions for many things. I went to Minute Clinic & they gave me an antibiotic made by them. I said, no thank you. I went through a lot, but my insurance company finally approved the brand. So I've been lucky I guess. I pay $10 for 3 months' worth & I don't worry about generics anymore. However, if I could find a pharmacy with Greenstone I would move my Rx.

Re: Sandy (# 6) Expand Referenced Message

Yes; Sandoz has worked good for me the last 2 years. But yesterday my pharmacy that starts with a W gave me the generic Greenstone - OMG, I was awake all night & my hands went numb. Of course the pharmacy will not exchange it & my Dr.'s office said it must be something else doing it! It's 2022 & I'm afraid the days of getting the good generics is over due to shortages.

I use Breckenridge, which I’ve had good luck with. Seven years ago they switched manufacturers on me and it was a yellow pill, but I don’t know who made it, but it made me more anxious rather than less. All the pharmacies around me now only have Activis brand and I’m scared to try it. I suppose it’s cheaper!

Re: Ben Zo Franklin (# 3) Expand Referenced Message

I disagree. Probably if you mix it with alcohol or something, but those of us who take it take it because of anxiety attacks and insomnia. It barely calms me down and that’s it, but I need it to sleep. The reason that it’s regulated is because people will take anything and misuse it and then the rest of us have to suffer.

Re: Sandy (# 8) Expand Referenced Message

I use Breckenridge and it’s been working for me very well for years. But now they’ve switched it to Activis and I can’t find Breckenridge anywhere. Have you ever tried Activis? I hate to switch.

Re: Suzanne (# 18) Expand Referenced Message

I hear you. Using Xanax is no different than people who overeat, watch too much TV, use alcohol, you get the picture. We all have our issues and I need Xanax because I have panic attacks and insomnia. Does that make me a bad person? I’m so sick of this too. Thank goodness I have a nice doctor, but when he retires I don’t know what I’m going to do. I can’t get the right generic, so I’ll ask my doctor for Xanax rather than alprazolam which I didn’t even know I could do until I read some of the posts on here, so thank you to everyone. Good luck to you!

Re: JFK (# 25) Expand Referenced Message

Have you had good luck with Activis? It seems like it has a lot of bad reviews. That’s the only generic I can find around this town. I was taking Breckenridge, but I can’t get it anymore. It makes me nervous to change. Just wondered if you had ever tried it. Thank you.

Re: JFK (# 25) Expand Referenced Message

Hi, just realize the message I left you was incorrectly worded. It sounds like you have used Actavis before. Is that the first generic you ever tried? They switched me years ago from Breckenridge to a yellow pill and unfortunately I don’t know the manufacturer’s name, but it made me so anxious. The one they just gave me is a round blue pill and I think it’s Activas. Haven’t tried it yet because I’m scared. Thank you.

Re: Davemp88 (# 39) Expand Referenced Message

I think you just answered your own question. I think you should stick with a greenstone, but that’s just my opinion.

Read the reviews up above. Sounds pretty awful except for one person who said it was OK.

Hi, sorry to bother you but can you or anyone else tell me about Almus Pharmaceutical company? I am living in the UK. Do I need to be a licensed pharmacist to order from them? {edited for privacy}
