Anxiety Forums

I just moved to Houston and have suffered from severe anxiety for the past ten plus years and really need to find a psychiatrist or doctor that is willing to prescribe Xanax. I'm up ALL night fighting constant anxiety attacks and it's an impossible daily struggle to get through my work day without having to stop whatever I might be doing to fend off an attack. I can't afford to lose my job and I just don't know what else to do. I refuse to buy the stuff off the sheet because I can't afford to get in trouble..... Please, any help with a doctor in Houston that will prescribe Xanax would very gratefully appreciated. ## Due to the new regulations that went into effect at the beginning of the year, if you require it for long-term treatment, you will most likely need to se...

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...

Teva No Longer Manufacturers Clonazepam, and I personally feel it is a good thing. Teva, in my opinion, is a low-quality company who actually manufacturers 70% of their products overseas, in cities and communities I don't think you would want to live in. I find the change-over, in terms of most of my medications, including clonazapam 2mh hs to be more effective than before. There are, of course, individual differences, but this is how it is for me personally. Would anyone else care to comment? ## From what I can see on their site, they still list it as being currently manufacturer. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. Where did you hear that they discontinued it? What company ...

It was filled from a pharmacy in Tijuana and has no numbers anywhere but has the 3 scores on both sides. Seems to work for me but I want to make sure it's actual Alprazolam. ## I have the same pills, I get my rx filled from Mexico as well. I doubt they're bad, they just might be generic? My other friend who has a prescription & gets them here in AZ had a different type. She let me compare hers to mine & they work the same in my opinion. Hers are 1 mg & mine are supposedly 2 mg. I always take half of mine because a whole one makes me super drowsy. Hope this helps :) ## I think they're called Rafil, we see them a lot here in Laredo (it's a border town). They're still Alprazolam, just from out of the country. ## It's just a generic version. You see them ...

Anyone come across these in the UK? Loghman's Diazepam 10mg, 20 in a tray. Made in Iran. ## Hi. Has anyone tried the Loghman diazepam 10mg? They are blue (same as English colour) same size and come in strips of 20. I've had them a couple of times and think they are pretty good. They are made in Tehran, Iran and they look professionally made, press, etc. I can't find them on wedinos so thought I'd put a post on here. I've got nothing but good feedback on them, and feel they are correctly dosed (if not stronger). Anybody else had these? ## They are on Wedinos and test for Diazepam, nothing else. I only asked today if anyone tried them. On another site I asked people's opinion, and two people said good, one said underdosed. I haven't tried them yet. At the momen...

My Dr said he prescribed me Vistaril for anxiety, but pharmacy filled with Atarax. The pharmacist told me Vistaril works better and faster for anxiety and the Dr wrote Hydroxyzine HCL. Should I ask for Vistaril next time or is there any difference I would even notice? Thank you very much.

I have recently received a new diazepam tablet to me, called Martin Dow limited 10mg. They come in strips of 10 per blister and are blue hard tablets with a score line on one side and the other side has 10 imprinted in it. I recently submitted some to wedinos to get them tested and they came back containing only diazepam, you can see the wedinos website reference number W010443 for the submission I made. Does anybody else have experience of these? The blisters are printed in blue stating Valium (diazepam) and from what I have read they are allowed to use the word Valium as they have licence from Roche who first developed them. Any further information would be great! ## Which pharmacy did you use to fill your prescription? ## They came from OSP; it's UKSP that I won't be using ag...

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...

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...

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...

I am very sensitive to fillers and have just learned that "MYLAN" has discontinued it's Lorazepam. I cannot find a brand using the same inactive ingredients as MYLAN, which I tolerate well. Can you tell me who makes Lorazepam as MYLAN did, with Lactose Monohydrate, Microcrystalline Cellulos, Polacrilin Potassium and Sodium Stearyl Fumarate? (PLZ include all that you find as our area has very few pharmacies.) THANK YOU. ## Hello HomeTown Mom, Sorry to hear that the brand that works for you is being discontinued. Hopefully I can give you some viable options based upon the information you have given me. Out of the 100 brands I reserached on the NIH website these are the few that have the exact same active and inactive ingredients as the Mylan brand. Mylan Aphena Proficient Rx L...

Hi, Has anyone seen/taken or have any information on Bensedin (Galenika) Diazepam 10mg? The box/strip looks ok but the actual tablet is white circular/domed with no markings at all.... I presume that they are Eastern European. Any information at all would be most appreciated. Peace ## Yes, received my prescription today. Took 1/4 tab, now, two hours later, my spasms from a ski shoulder injury, are not spasming anymore. I plan to take another 1/4 tad 2.5mg before bed. Seems like a good brand. ## Galenika bensedin is very very high quality pharmaceutical grade diazepam! it is top notch, one of the best brands available. Bensedin 10mg x 15 Tabs in a blister pack, 30 x 10mg diazepam a box, and around. I also am prescribed Galenika ksalol/alprazolam 1mg x 15 tabs a blister pack 30 x 1mg tabs...

I came across a scary situation the other day that i think most people on lorazepam might be interested in. I take 1.5 mg of lorazepam a day, have been so for 30 years. My doctor has never mentioned any problems with my medication. Then last week i got a call from her that was frantic and uncontrollable, she kept repeating i have to wean down my dosage and kept repeating if you take oxycodone i could die. It was clear that she wasn't listening to one thing i was telling her. Today i called my family doctor to see what's going on with the DEA and he told me that recently they are looking at prescriptions over 1 mg. My first thought is i should get a new doctor. The conversation with the first doc, my shrink, was as unprofessional as i have ever had and if i don't have to ever...

There are all these conspiracy theories about clonazepam generics, the FDA heavily regulates these and cannot have > +/- 20% of active ingredient. I too favor the tevas, but those are the old school generics and I think we just have an emotional attachment/ placebo effect to with regard to them. These placebo/mental effects can cause REAL withdrawal symptoms (my psychiatrist is one of the top pain/anxiety management docs in Texas). Also certain message boards dont even allow generic brand comparisons because there can be no noticeable difference between generic brands in terms of the effectiveness, but there may be placebo effects on addiction/withdrawal. Does anyone have any non-anecdotal evidence to support certain generics being worse than others? ## If you really want to read up...

I know I’m not crazy I’ve suffered from panic attacks and anxiety so bad I can hardly get in a car or leave my house. I have taken clonazepam for 8 years and has helped me live my life getting out of the house. For the last 2 years I noticed that it wasn’t working anymore. I was suffering from insomnia and I had bad diarrhea. So I stopped clonazepam just to see and after 8 years you would think I would have withdrawals but no very little. My anxiety is the same with or without. I thought maybe I built up tolerance… well I got a new generic accord and I feel as I’m taking that medication again. It works!!!! I can go places and be social. Leave the house!!! I know it’s the AVAGEN Clonazepam. They are as good as placebo. Now I have complained to the manu...

I live in central new jersey, and lost my dr. of 10 years. I did 5 years in physical therapy for some issues. I am now forced to leave my dr. and desperately need another immediately. I need him/her to prescribe my xanax and restart my pain pills. I will be out of xanax in a week. Please help me find a doctor who will easily prescribe these medications. ## Hello, Suzie! How are you? Why are you leaving your current doctor? Due to the new regulations that were put in place, if you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see specialists. Can anyone recommend good doctors in that area? ## Had to leave her because we became personal friends and she has become way too involved in my life. It's complicated but this leaves me in an awful position. Besides ...

Hi been taking Ativan for 7 weeks (1 mg at night), and I started Tuesday with nausea and no appetite. Is this normal? Have also been having lack in interest in life and bit of depression. Please help.

I've never encountered generic lorazepam by ANI. I've had Watson (my favorite now defunct), Actavis, Leading (my least favorite), and what I've been taking for the past 5 years- Teva (which I just read is considered weak...hmmm). I must put in my new prescription tomorrow.....has anyone had experience with ANI? My choices are ANI and Leading. (Sigh)

Farmapram 2mg, filled a prescription at ABC Pharmacy in Nuevo Progreso. Can anyone provide information on them please? Are these the same as domestic US medications? ## From what I could gather, Farmapram 2mg is allegedly a form of Alprazolam 2mg from Mexico. I don't know if your pill has any markings, but another Farmapram 1mg tablet I came across with IFA imprinted on one side and scored on the other, was manufactured by Investigación Farmacéutica, Mexico. Unfortunately I haven't heard of this company before so I'm unable to offer a personal opinion on their legitimacy. However if there are no markings I would definitely be skeptical. ## Link below what bottle looks like.... farmapram 2mg packaging image ## Are they Legit or safe, probably. Are they legitimate to...

Been on Sandoz mfr. lorazepam for 10 years; no problems; no need to increase dose. Sandoz stopped mfr. Now, can only get these generic's & Actavis. Having lots of troubles getting results; either nothing or zonked. Anyone else w/any experience which mfr. is closer to Sandoz (since FDA approves up to 2% differences in generics). Thank you. ## Hello! I have been getting 90 days supplies of Lorazepam 1MG from SANDOZ....my new Rx just came and it's from ACTAVIS.....it does not work or relieve any anxiety at all....I might as well take a placebo...it does not work at all....I took 2 pills...nothing and then 1hour later took 2 more....before with the other brand...I would probably be asleep....but,nothing with this new brand.....I do not know what to do about this....... ## I have...
