Dava Xanax 0.5 mg SUCKS! They're yellow ovals marked with an S and 901. They've been sued by Justice department in the past (2010) for distributing drugs that were half strength. We normally take 1.5 mg qd, but are allocated #3 tabs 0.5 mg qd. Even taking #3 we had no effect. What ever company makes oval peach coloured tabs have always been efficacious. Dava, a repackager of generics needs examination by DEA & US Attorney—they can analyze the crap we were given.

In case anyone was wondering, the reason the green s 90 3 2mg Xanax bars aren’t coning back is because Breckenridge bought Dava/Par's patent on their generic version, altered the formula and those are the blue bars we see being dispensed now.

I disagree. Those dava brands are helping people when you could just as easily ask for pharmacies to switch brands, instead of making it harder on others just make it easier on yourself.

Cvs carries it. I hate it. But it is all they carry in the .05 mg now.

I have been taking the yellow 2mg Alprazolam for 10 years and it’s a generic and no problems. Sams switched my last script to the Dava brand with green 2mg bars....ATTENTION!!!! These green 2mg bars are total crap...they do NOT WORK. I have used nothing but generics since 2006 and never a problem. For the last month I have wrestled with the effects of days without sleep and horrible withdrawal symptoms for over a month before doing my research online. This pill has NO effect whatsoever... Thanks to everyone for posting. Just google their legal history. Shame on Sams for even offering such an inferior product. There are negative posts and reviews as far back as 2010 so the data is out there just search.

Re: Carole (# 9)

DAVA Alprazolam is garbage. They are a joke and should be taken off the market. They made me physically ill. I was on Greenstone for years with never a problem. So all at once CVS stores run out of all Alprazolam. They replaced the Greenstone lab pills with DAVA. Yea to make a extra buck $. Trust me, don't buy DAVA because you will regret it. Better off buying a sugar pill.

I have tried EVERY manufacture. Mylan is the worst imo. I also think each person it's different for. For e.g. Dava 2 mg pills are actually very sedating. Though, sometimes they have a glue smell in the bottles. I take them as prescribed and soon feel very tired. With Greenstone I can function and still my symptoms are helped greatly. Someone made a perfect example. It's like a social anxiety medication, where as Dava is more for panic attacks. I would say that's 100% accurate in my case as well. I'm switching to greenstone because Dava is too sedating.

So I found a mom & pop (neighborhood) Pharmacy and they could order the Sandoz brand directly, but said my insurance would only go for the cheapest. (Dava) HOWEVER they said you could just pay for it instead of the co-pay. Bingo! it's $20 for the 60 - 0.5mg tablets. Considering the alternative of brands that didn't work properly, I'm happy to pay for the better Rx.

If u have a Harris teeter near you mine in Maryland carried em. If a Harris teeter is near you call them and ask what manufacture they carried.

I've had Dava alprazolam in the past, both the yellow 0.5 mg oval and the green 1 mg oval. They worked just fine for me. I get Sandoz from my current pharmacy and in my opinion they're quite comparable.

I've also tried the green 2mg S 90 3 bars and, like Eddy stated, I found them to be quite strong. Also, Dava's parent company is Endo pharma who also owns qualitest.

Jennifer (#17) I do recall the dava brand being a bit chalky at times.. usually when it's really fresh. That goes for pretty much any alprazolam though in my experience.

Re: EDDY (# 7)

I was wondering if the Dava Alprazolam 2mg green bar marked S 90 3 tasted like chalk? This is not what I am normally given and am use to alprazolam tasting very bitter.

Re: Jim (# 15)

That’s what I did. I switched to a pharmacy that’s privately owned, not a franchise... I have been taking Xanax for a long time and within a week of the Dava crap I noticed a major difference.

I noticed a difference between the Sandoz generic and Dava Alprazolam—and Dava is weaker. In fact I thought it might even have no ingredients it was so ineffective. I'm only talking about .05 mg., but I could tell after taking for 7 years. My pharmacy switched and can't special order the Sandoz anymore. I'm thinking of calling around to find a Pharmacy that does carry Sandoz. This is the second time this has happened and It's bogus.

You are definitely correct I just got my 1 mg Alprazolam filled at CVS and I got the Sandoz brand blue oval GG 258 and they are the best so is Greenstone G 3721 I had several issues over the past few years with Dava 1 mg they are garbage.

I agree. I noticed during the first week that it wasn't working so I called the pharmacy and was told they have to sell that kind because it's cheaper. That's bs.

People on Psychotropic meds are not to be believed by their word. If you had a lab report perhaps the FDA would take another look, and they look all the time. What about Qualitest, owner of DAVA?

Carole Says:

Right. However, you can certainly report any medications you feel are not as advertised to the FDA.

EDDY Says:

You can't sue a generic drug maker because you feel the pill isn't to your liking. The Dava legal suit was for misreporting drug prices in order to reduce its Medicaid Drug Rebate obligations.

The Dava brand of alprazolam is much weaker and ineffective compared to other generic brands, or the trade brand. It is a poor quality pill which causes people to take stronger doses when they could be taking a quality generic at a lower dose. I've filed a complaint with the FDA and am requesting they test the pills. Waiting for a response.
