Is this a real xanax or fake I really need to know please help? ## If there are no markings on your pill I wouldn't consider taking it. So many people who take Xanax think a pill shaped like Xanax has to be Xanax. if it has no number it is a counterfeit or foreign pill and contains an unknown substance

Hello, I am prescribed 0.5mg Xanax at 3x a day. I haven't taken any in about a week 1/2. I just took one 0.5mg Xanax today and I have a urine drug test tomorrow to check for it and a couple other meds I am also prescribed by the same Doctor. Will the just one 0.5mg Xanax still be in my urine good by tomorrow around 2:45pm? ## Oh sure as its not going anywhere! ## Even though I haven't taken any in a week or longer and I take a 0.5 today and drug test tmorrow afternoon? I have been reading quite a few replies to other threads like mine and it seems as though Xanax is a fast in and fast out type of medication, like 24 hours after taking it, it's gone..not even in urine or even the metabolite in urine, so are you serious about that Bc I have one left and I don't wanna take ...

I am wanting to taper off safely from using 6mg of xanax bars a day. I am addicted and went through the worse withdrawals when I couldn't find my last 9 left in my bottle as well as my bottle missing. I just want a chart to show me how to taper off per say take 2 mg , 2nd one take 1.75, last one take 1.50 mg..how to do it in a timely manner. ## Many posts here and on the Interne!. Look it up. 6 mg is nothing to play around with, and you should never run out and always have extras if possible? ## Hello, Kev! How are you? Unfortunately, there is no specific chart that anyone can give you. Tapering off successfully depends on the person, the dosage and how long they've been taking the medication. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you work out a tapering sc...

I used to be prescribed 4 mg of clonazepam daily for 2 years for anxiety and pannic attacks by a wonderful and empathetic doctor. After the 2 years, his clinic switched to inpatient only and I had to find a new doctor. My new psychiatrist does not believe benzodiazepines should be taken along with methadone and openly considers me a drug seeker. She wont even meet with me for more than 20 minutes before hurrying me out the door (usually with a script for a medicine I don't want or need.) I tried one other psychiatrist after her but got a similar treatment. I have been on methadone for 8 years now but I'm very stable and hoping to start detoxing in the near future. I have suffered from anxiety for 15 years which include bizarre feelings of vertigo, confusion, panic, irrational fear,

I have been taking Alprax0.50mg for the past ten years OD. But now i am not having deep sleep as i am a spondyloarthropathy patient. As per our Doctor advice i am taking Zolpeace 5mg OD along with Alprax0.50mg. But there is no effect. Along with these two tablets i am also taking Ativan 1mg OD. Will there be any side effect on this?. Please give your advice. ## Definitely there are side effects. But now ur body is habitual of these drugs. In later stages as the time progresses you need to increase the dosage of these drugs to get the same effects. Memory loss is a very common side effect, drowsiness, sleeping disorder, sudden unconsciousness, headache & many more. Better to avoid taking these drugs. Try to get sleep naturally & try to spend more time in office or some other work...

I'm a caregiver and I found this pill in my patients lazyboy. I want to make sure that the other caregiver is not giving my patient meds that she is not prescribed. Please help me identify this pill. One side is blank. The other has a 2 on it. But keep in mind this pill is split in half. I do not know what the other half looks like. Can anyone help me?! ## Hello, Shelly! How are you? I'm sorry, but without knowing the complete imprint, this is really nothing more than a guessing game. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least a dozen tablets that match this description, but their proper identification depends on the rest of the markings. Have you tried asking your patient about it? They may recognize it. Does anyone else have any ideas of what this might be? I'll keep ...

Walmart switched my clonazepam to ipl from teva and it does not seem to work as well. First why would they do this and has anyone else had the same problem ## I do know about changes like this with prescriptions. Pharmacies are always searching for a cheaper deal every time reordering. Of course I don't know any of them that care about how good they are either.I never had luck with requesting another company instead of the one they choose to give you, but some will have a few companies including the name brand.people have been granted that request. It's terrible the treatment most of us get like this. Unless you got the bucks for name brand. Not many meds are all just generics. I've seen a few and this is because they choose not to. ## Tom, they are both generics. It is not ...

I am having eye surgery in two days. I am used to .5mg Xanax and it calms me for flying and other things I have anxiety for. Don't take it often. My dr told me to take 5mg of Valium for surgery because it lasts longer then Xanax. I'm afraid this will not work as well. I am very anxious about this surgery and need to be awake and stay still. ## Your Doctor wants you to take a Benzo for the surgery? The Valium should do fine for the procedure, just don't drive on it. ## EDDY, in some situations when the patient is highly anxious and the "surgery" is in a setting such as eye surgery or dental procedures where the patient is not given IV's, it is not unusual for the dr to prescribe valium before surgery. There is a water soluable valium or something similiar to it th...

I took 2mg og clonazepam as a one time useage. I do not take this medication regularly. this one time dosing, how long will it stay in my system? ## Clonazepam is a Benzodiazepine and as such, it has a long half-life elimination time of approximately 16 to 50 hours. However, if you're asking about the detectable time for a drug test, that is different, as it can be detectable in a standard urine test for approximately 6 weeks after taking it. Learn more: Are there any other questions or comments? ## That's correct I took them for years and 3months later minute amounts still showed on my screens. ## It's typically the metabolite half life of the chemical x 5.5 . For Valium for example the metabolite half life is 100 hours x 5.5 = 550 hours or 23 days. It's easy to google ...

I am 4'11, 100 lbs female who takes xanax daily for anxiety. I quit cold turkey on the first when i had to schedule a drug test for the 16th. I started weaning myself down off my daily dose of about 4mg to about 1-2mg (even stopped taking it on weekends/not at work or in stressful situations) two weeks prior because i knew this would be coming in the close future.. I think i'm being over paranoid but do you think my system will be flushed by then? I can by NO means have benzos show up on my test even though they are prescribed. I have been working out like crazy, keeping hydrated with water and other juices, even drank those nasty 'detox' drinks.. i have been doing everything imaginable that i can think of... do you think i'm in the clear? Should i bother wasting my ...

How does one withdraw from xanax? ## Slowly, carefully, and with Doctors supervision. A treatment center is also an option ## I'd like to add that, if you've been taking it regularly for awhile, then it is very important not to stop taking it cold turkey. Doing so creates the risk of seizures. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and other withdrawal symptoms may include nausea, diarrhea, fever, chills and rebound anxiety. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have a doc appt. on the 10th. I've been taking xanax bars for a week. I just took my last one yesterday. The 5th.... If I don't get a response from this before the 10th, I am changing my appt. Will it still be detected in the urine test?

Trying to figure out where my friend got these. Any help would be appreciated. ## Hi Steph, I realize that you're wanting to know where these pills were purchased from, but do you happen to know what type of medication this is supposed to be? I couldn't find any matching imprints from the NIH or other US-based manufacturers - Let alone any specific details on it's origin. This makes me wonder if it's something made outside of the US, where I'm located... Why isn't your "friend" willing to tell you where they got them from? ## It's TOWA etizolam, 1mg made by mimaki pharmaceutical company in japan. Very comparable to alprozolam 1mg. ## SWIM was told that these were 1mg alprazolam. SWIM was angry at first, but SWIMs associate who gave them to SWIM, did s...

I took a .5 klonopin on 5/6. I have a urine for probation on 5/15. Will I pass? I don't ever take them and have hep C, however it's not severe or causing any problems.. Worried it will show up??? ## As long as you haven't been taking them consistently, you will definitely be clean! How do I know? Heroin and benzos are my drugs of choice (clean from heroin 3 yrs), and I have been on parole a total of 6 yrs. I know u/a's have improved immensely, but from experience, I also know that .5 mg of clonazepam will not show up on a urine screen 9 days later. Don't worry at all! ## I took half of a klonopin 1mg on 3-3-16 and have a UA on 3-15-16. Will I test positive for benzos and if sent to the lab, will they find it after a week and a half? I have a very fast metabolism.

So I got some X ANA X 2mg white rectangle pills.. 2 on one side X ANA X on the other cut into thirds with little humps.. The problem is..they are TINY and they have NO TASTE to them...I took half a bar and all the xanax on the planet I've taken has had an after taste.. ## Where did you get them? ## Street Pharmacy from a friend of mine. I mean im getting some little type feeling from them but they had ZERO taste...Taste like straight chalk ## It doesn't sound like Xanax yet many posts about this pill possibly being fake. I've never had a real Alprazolam that didn't taste bitter? ## Hi Jay, Sorry to say, but in my opinion, it does sound like you have a fake tablet there. Eddy is right about the taste. It should be noticeably bitter (and also quite unpleasant) from what I ...

Can it cause anxiety, agresiveness, and general irretation ## Hello Boet! How are you? Compral is listed as containing Acetaminophen, Aspirin and Caffeine and yes, the caffeine can certainly cause those types of side effects in some people. The FDA lists other side effects as possibly including nausea, nervousness and insomnia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Are they like Xanax? And will it make me ill? ## Hello, Lynn! How are you? No, this a different type of medication. This tablet is manufactured by Greenstone Limited and they list it as containing 100mgs of Sertraline, which is an SSRI antidepressant that can also be used to treat anxiety. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight gain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Lynn, unless the pill is prescribed for you don't put it in your mouth.
