Suddenly our Dictator in Chief in Washington is restricting those on Medicare who take Opioids & Benzo's. I don't take Opioids, but for 2027 this will make it impossible for some people to get both. You, however, should be able to pay cash for medicine your insurance won't fill. Always use a Discount card when paying cash! ## Has there been an announcement? ## Those two class of medicines are mentioned specifically in my 2026/2027 MDHP Drug plan in which other insurers also set their coverage guidelines. Also notable in certain States & many Countries you can no longer obtain Carisoprodol which I still am getting, at least one more refill left.

I recently moved to San Antonio, TX and need to find a local doctor that will prescribe me xanax for my anxiety. ## I am not familiar with doctors in that area, but one piece of advice I can offer is not to call doctors and ask if they will prescribe a certain medication. When you do this, you will usually just get told no immediately, because most doctors see it as drug seeking behavior. The best thing you can do, if someone does recommend a doctor, is to set up and appointment and make sure that they get a full copy of your medical records. Most doctors are more apt to follow the prescribing practices of their colleagues, when they can see the documented information. ## alamo mental health. dr earl stenger.

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 ...

Solco is horrible! I was forced to try it after Accord for migraine relief and I felt like I was swimming through jello in a fog. I took it for almost a month until it occurred to me that my problems started with Solco. I have chronic pain and fatigue, so i thought at first I was in a flare-up from something, then I considered a virus or infection, as it got worse by the day and I realized as I lay in bed whimpering in pain and thought I was dying, I thought, it HAS to be this Solco. I had some Mylan left (which has been discontinued), so yesterday I switched back and today I am a different person! The marked difference is incredible. I actually think I was going through a withdrawal syndrome. I have never had a benzo do that to me, ever and I've been on Mylan and Caraco for years! ...

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...

Anyone in the UK get their prescription filled with accord diazepam 10mg? 14 in a tray, 28 in box with the CDC imprint just like the Actavis used to be, only different is the name accord? ## Since Diazepam is a generic, it is manufactured and distributed by several different companies, and Accord is just another one of them. The medication, however, is the same. The FDA warns that Diazepam carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. ## Has anyone come across accord diazepam in a almus diazepam box in the UK area? Are they the same? And anyone try richter diazepam? ## richer diazepam is are a rip off don't touch them. ## Bensedin are best atm, all the actavis are bad even though they have cbd printed on t...

Pfizer no longer makes Greenstone generics. They sold the Generic Greenstone business to a company called Viatris. 1-866-736-8798. Viatris or Viatris sells it to wholesalers. The regular 2 mg is being produced and is in stock with the Viatris. If it's not available it's because the wholesaler is not stocking it. I got nowhere with my Independent pharmacy. ## My Independent pharmacy tells me that Viatris has now sold the rights to Greenstone to Mylan and they can get the 2 mg tabs but no one is making the 1 mg ER

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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 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 ...

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...

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) ## Hey Richard! Did you ever try the Ani pharm lorazepam? ## Not sure what you mean. ## Not being familiar with it kinda indicates I've never trued it, that's why I didn't understand your question. Have any others trued it? How does it compare to Teva or the old Watson (which worked best for me)? ## Sorry folks, my ipad hiccuped....that's "tried", not "trued" ## Right.

Is a purple football shaped tablet with IFA on one side and a thick score line on the other a 1 mg Xanax? Is that the drug manufacturer? Please help, I am only used to seeing alprazolam tablets come in blue or white. ## From what I have seen this pill is supposed to be a 1 mg Alprazolam (the purple/bluish sort of speckled oblong pill with IFA one one side and a score on the other). They are manufactured in Mexico by a company called INVESTIGACION FARMACEUTICA, S.A. DE C.V. and go under the brand name FARMAPRAM.
