Is Greenstone Alprazolam really discontinued?

I have been getting my alprazolam substituted with Sandoz 2 mg tabs which do zi[/nada/nothing and Aurobindo 1 mg ER tabs which are also useless. I've had a bad experience with Sandoz and oxazepam before. CVS says Greenstone is discontinued but my independent pharmacy says they are being produced but I have to pay $35 for the Rx because my Part D drug insurance "only reimburses them a few dollars". CVS initially promised me Teva (2mg) and Greenstone 1 mg ER. After getting Sandoz and Aurobindo, they say that their stock varies from day to day and whatever the supplier sends to them that day is what I get. How screwed up is that? ## That is the way it always has worked. You can't order specific generic brands from the pharmacy, and they can't promise you anything. Do yo...

Xanax for Anxiety

Taking xanax off and on for several years. At first my anxiety was not that bad. (The Drs believed I developed the anxiety after a spinal tab went wrong and I was in the hosp. for 10 days and needed surgery.) At first it was .05 mg 3 x a day, than up to 1 mg 3x a day and that seemed to work and work well for me. Then once I STOPPED on my own and I called my Dr. who at that point I was off the xanax for 5 full days and did not have any side effects. He was not happy that I stopped on my own but understood. 4 full months go by and I seemed fine until one afternoon and I had to stop at the market and while shopping as I had a severe Anxiety attack. I had to leave my shopping cart and leave. I HAD to get out of there asap. So I went back to my dr. and told him. When my ANXIETY came back, it...

Inactive ingredients of Qualitest or Leading Pharma Lorazepam

What are the inactive ingredients of Qualitest lorazepam or Leading Pharma lorazepam? Does anybody know? It seems that its formula might have been changed because I feel 1mg is less effect than before or does not work. I used to take Ativan 1mg before abroad and one month from Kaiser in the U.S. but they gave me refill as generic lorazepam (Qualitest). I felt 50-60% effectiveness compared to Ativan(brand lorazepam). I can't take Watson lorazepam as it does not work for me causing side effects (rapid heart beats, sweating, anxiety, dehydration). Qualitest has less side effect (less dehydrated than Ativan) I did not have physical dependence on Ativan for long time and quit too. But this generic lorazepam is getting less effective over a few months. Also my pharmacy had changed Qualite...

Lorazepam Reviews

Which manufacturer of 2mg Lorazepam gets the best reviews and how does Teva's Lorazepam compare to the rest? ## There have been a lot of changes in the last several months, but in my opinion: 1. Teva/Actavis 2. Aurobindo 3. Leading ## I agree. Teva works best for me. Leadings fillers seem to inhibit the active ingredient for me but we are all diffrrent. ## forget leading pharma.you will wake up if you ever went to sleep with a taqilla hangover every day. ## Teva is the best but who knows the future in availability? Looks like leading pharma is spreading like fire. We must stop this poison from our country. People will be withdrawing and convulsing with this inferior junk on the market. Wrongful death lawsuits will be prevalent. Boycott any chance you can. My hospital is pushing this...

Drug-Meprobamate

What ever happened to this drug? It helped me so much to function but also relieved all kinds of pain in my body. I know it is an older drug from the 60's but it was a God send to me. Today I am on pain meds that don't work that well, and my mind races which is exhausting. I wish I knew of someone who still makes it. ## Meprobomate is classified by the FDA as a tranquilizer, it is still available, but is rarely prescribed, now, since it has been replaced with safer, and more effective medications. They also warn that it can cause physical dependence with long-term use, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, headache, dizziness, sedation, and the formation of bezoars that may require surgical removal. Overdoses have also been known to be fatal. What medications are you curre...

How to find a doctor that prescribes Xanax in West Virginia

As I age, 40 now, I have increasingly worsening panic moments and more and more terrifying dreams. I have been on and off Xanax multiple times. Two one mg tabs a day; one in AM and one before bedtime. I kept stopping cause I thought the problem was going away. Turned out it was the meds stopping the problems, not that I was simply growing out of the problem. I have Ptsd after being shot and was in a terrible car accident in the early 2000's. How can I find a doctor that prescribes xanax in weirton, wv? ## Hello, Chad! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a specialist if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis. Do you currently have a PCP that co...

Teva Lorazepam Reviews

I'm seeking insights and reviews on Teva Lorazepam and its comparison with Leading Pharma's version. There's a notable divide in user experiences. Some report Leading Pharma Lorazepam as being less effective or having no effect, possibly due to variations in the active ingredient, leading to side effects or adverse reactions in certain cases. While there are those who recommend Teva Lorazepam for its efficacy, others find Leading Pharma's version more suitable. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to try Teva Lorazepam since it's not available in my area – no local pharmacies dispense it. My experience with other brands, post the discontinuation of Qualitest, hasn't been successful in finding a comparable alternative. I'm particularly intere...

Alko 1 tablet - alprazolam

White round pill with T, score line and N on one side, and a correction tick type of symbol on the other side. ## I don't know if this is the exact pill you're describing, but I was able to locate a round white pill with T N over a score line and 1 underneath it on one side and on the back is some sort of greater than symbol ">". This particular pill turned out to be a 1mg Trandolapril tablet, used for high blood pressure. For verification, the manufacturer is reportedly Cobalt Laboratories and the pill itself carries a National Drug Code of 16252-0541. If anything, I hope this at least helps narrow down prospective pill ID's. Please post back if you find out more information. ## I'm looking for information on Alko-1. It's a round, white, scored tablet. N...

Leading Pharma Lorazepam Reviews

I am really confused about everyone's posts concerning the leading brand Lorazepam. I have been taking the generic form of Lorazepam 2mg for 25 years. I've used every kind, from Watson to the current leading one. It appears that the sugary taste is the primary issue for everyone here. The amount of negative reviews about this company is absurd. They are no different than any other generic Lorazepam; they work the same. The only difference in this pill is the inactive ingredient, which contains potassium, and that's why the pill tastes like sugar. However, my point is, if you are a long-term user of benzos, you would have all ended up withdrawing and possibly seizing if the pill really didn't contain the main ingredient. The ER doctor would have been the first to report t...

Difficulty with Teva Diazepam (Valium) changing each lot

I am so confused about Teva diazepam in the US. I can get one batch of it and be OK for a while and then the next batch I am in cold turkey withdrawal symptoms. The last time this happened was in May and the pharmacy exchanged it for a different lot. The new lot still wasn't as good as the old one, but it was better. And I got used to it. And now the newest one I got is even worse where I've had daily headaches and extreme agitation. This pharmacy in particular always puts lot numbers on their bottles so I can see when it changes. But I wasn't looking for it. I only noticed the symptoms about 5 days after changing and looked at the bottle and then saw for the six months prior (I'm collecting the pharmacy bottles for an art project) I was getting the same lot. As soon as ...
