Best Generic Alprazolam (xanax) (Page 7)

Updated

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.

Hey, I'm late but I've been on actavis for years (1mg) and I just got switched to par pharma. Sooo im just worried I will withdrawal because they are no good. I take like 2 mgs a day. I generally split my actavis in half and sometimes chew them. I know that's bad for the teeth but I do. Soo what are your thoughts for me. I wish I wasn't on these but I am. It's been 5 years for me everyday. I don't feel euphoria but I have to have them because my body is used to them.

I'm in the same boat as you just on them because anxiety and been so long. I honestly really enjoy the par dava green tablets and the activas yellow tablets but always get the greenstone white tablets I do have left over yellows and green so activas and par dava and I like them each but for different reasons. the activas kick in and hit hard but quick to end. the green dava par are kind of nice but are more of sleepers and small euphoria also quick to end and the greenstone white tablets are very well rounded and even. they hit not to fast or slow and they last as long as a xanax should. I would reccommend getting the greenstone alprazolam and get off the activas. activas xanax just makes you want more because how it hits the body. if you have green pars then I would say they are very comparable to activas except they just take a bit longer to kick in. unless you are talking about the qualitest tablets with a white bar and check marked v on it. I would say u should be good with the green dava pars until next fill but next time get greenstone they are identical to brand name in every day but minor shape and imprint

When I was on Xanax, I was given many different generic Xanax throughout the years and none of them bothered me. I know many you get these scripts legally but be very careful especially if you take them on a regular basis. I spent 6 days in the hospital after going into a seizure at home when the paramedics got there I was totally unresponsive.The reason for the seizures was me not taking my Xanax and Clonazepam for 4 days. Because my doctor was no where to be found til she showed up at the hospital on my 4th day there. If you get these legally you still need to be careful.If you get them illegally, you are playing Russian roulette with your life. For may reasons, from fake ones that do nothing to you or ones that are laced with whatever..Good Luck to any one on Benzos, chances are at sometime you will need it.!!!!

Trying to find a good place to get a Xanax prescription, doctors today will not give them out anymore. They have so many bad reasons. But get this - my husband, who should not even be taking them, gets Xanax from his doctor all the time.

Yes, greenstone is exactly the same as brand name down to the active and inactive ingredients and is made by Pfizer in same factories. Greenstone is brand name just phizers generic company for them to make more money so:
1.brand name - XANAX 2
2.Greenstone (completely same as brand except imprints)
3. New blue breckenridge pharma bars- b707
4. Activas- R039
5 dava (now par)- s 90 3
6. Sandoz- gg249
7. Boca circles 2mgs

Rest are just crap

I only use Mylan brand manufacturer. All others caused weird side effects. Also...do not get prepack because it may come from a distributor for Mylan which is questionable.

I have been on alprazolam for about 25 years. I have Sjogrens Syndrome and stress can trigger flareups. I had a go-round with pharmacies over the past 12 months. CVS, Walgreens, and Publix all switched at once to DAVA. I had been on Greenstone for years. I thought it odd that all 3 major drugstores could only get DAVA. I took 1/2 of one 1 mg. It felt as if I swallowed drain cleaner. I'm the type who digs into something when it smells fishy. I was furious that all of a sudden all you could get was THAT pharmaceutical company. The FDA is on their 4th director since May. That's 4 directors in 7 months! When the first newly appt director resigned after only 3 weeks on the job, I got suspicious. Long story short, key meds like Voltaren Gel (approved by the FDA in 2007) were pulled off the market in May of this year. Sun Pharmaceuticals and Endo Pharmaceuticals "acquired" a bunch of smaller companies with bad track records. (Meantime the stock in certain companies appeared to have gone down on the stock market.) In July, less than 3 months later, the withdrawn approvals to the necessary meds were restored. Value of the stock went up. ~~ I'm not pointing a finger, I'm just saying it's awfully suspicious that the meds were investigated after being approved decades ago. Just long enough for the mergers, acquisitions etc to take place. Drive the stock down then drive the stock up. I have been the route with alprazolam, Voltaren Gel, and a "new and amazing" eye drop for dry eyes that I can't get despite a RX. The phone numbers on their expensive printed literature comes up as "robo" calls if you cross reference them. I am saying tread carefully with any meds. They may list a Pennsylvania or N.J. address but the meds are coming from countries that don't inspect at all—not that the FDA does much better. Just voice your opinions with the pharmacies. I literally waged a nag-campaign against DAVA and now ENDO and SUN. You can't count on the ingredients being what your dr prescribed—not any more.

Re: Goozer (# 27) Expand Referenced Message

I’m only two years late hopefully you’re still able to reply I was just reading this and I’m really hoping to get your take on “Mylan pharmaceuticals“ and would you also say that green stone pharmaceuticals to this day is still the best? And because it’s so difficult to even get these medications much less change the brand name what is your take on wall greens as far as Their ability to get the green stone Xanax?

Re: Goozer (# 32) Expand Referenced Message

Greenstone has changed their formula. They used to be the closest to the brand you can get as with Sandoz. Greenstone does nothing now!! Aurobindo and Boca are terrible. Like taking Pez candies. Dava isn’t too bad. Qualitest was bought by Par Pharmaceuticals. Going to try these next. I have been taking Xanax for 40 years. The generics are so disappointing now. Don’t know which way to turn next. Unfortunately we are getting sedated instead of killing the anxiety.

Am considering to go to brand name. If you get the 2 mg bars they are the same price as getting four .50 mg. Price stays the same.

Re: frenchy (# 2) Expand Referenced Message

Greenstone is the closest generic you will find to beand Xanax. Pfizer (the owner & manufacturer) of beand Xanax owns Greenstone therefore they are made by the same manufacturer. I have had every generic known to man and Greenstone is the closest thing to to brand name. Breckenridge and then Sandoz would be my 2nd and 3rd choices.

I've been on subutex and Xanax for 7 years now. I tried to kick the Xanax once and it was WAY worse than the 20+ times I kicked opiates cold turkey. I've never ever felt that weird, sick and like I was losing my mind! Very scary s***. Now I'm tapering down I was getting 60 2 mg a month now I'm getting 45 a month, and I'll keep going down slowly, I'll worry about the subutex after I'm done with the Xanax. I just wanted to say, I have always gotten the yellow bars from Walgreens for all these years and now this month they gave me white bars made by Greenstone. Does anybody know what's up with them? Thank you very much and bless us all.

Will / can Walgreens special order Greenstone?

Also, my insurance company will cover brand name Xanax for a minimal cost.

Is brand name really that better than the generics?

Re: golfguyjoe (# 20) Expand Referenced Message

My pharmacy just switched from Sandoz to Actavis and they're horrible. Never an issue with Sandoz. I'm not sure there's anywhere near 1mg of active ingredient in these Actavis. They're almost completely ineffective. Sigh..

I agree, I have found Sandoz to be significantly more efficacious than Actavis, Mylan or Teva.

That's because Greenstone is owned by Pharmacia Upjohn, who makes the brand name Alprazolam, Xanax. They invented Alprazolam. So they have a stake in both markets, brand and generic.

Re: Jackue Carpenter (# 18) Expand Referenced Message

Buy empty gel caps from Amazon, put the tablet inside, and it slides right down.

For capsules, you may already know, put in the front of your mouth (they float to the back), take a good gulp of water, swallow.

This really helped me a lot.

Just do your research and get the smallest gel cap size which will fit your tablet

Aurobindo I got on my last fill was taking brekenridge before that and brekenridge only made me want to sleep all the time but these aurobindo gave me almost old fashioned Xanax high! I've been taking Xanax 30 years never thought I'd feel that old familiar feeling again but aurobindo did it for me and that's. As I'm writing this I may never feel that again as you get used to a brand but just this one time was enough to make me know they are real Xanax even though generic they have enough Xanax in them to do what it takes
