Aurobindo Alprazolam 2 Mg (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I have taken Alprazolam for months and not had any major problems with its effectiveness. Mylan by far worked the best. But now with Aurobindo brand I feel like I’m taking a "sugar pill". The prescribed dose is 2mg as needed up to 4 times a day. The first day I took all 8 mg, despite not filling them until 5:00 pm. I didn’t sleep that night at all and the next day took just as many, with a tiny slice of relief from my anxiety. Usually I don’t take more than 2.5mg- 3 mg a day. I don’t want to have to depend on anything to help me feel “normal”. I filled this drug 03/23/2021. Please tell me, is anyone else going through the same thing?!?!?

I agree my jaws feel tight, I have tremors, insomnia, they are putting some ingredient in them that causes bad side effects. I had to go to e.r. last night due to withdrawal like symptoms.

I think their making them like this so that you have to take more & more so you can never get off of it. also they are putting something in it that causes bad side effects.

thank you for your reply. yes aurobindo is very weak it does not work very well nor does sandoz. the teva brand generic alprazolam works much better I can tell. breckenridge worked well too but they stopped making it & told me they will no longer be making it.

Unfortunately, Aurobindo seems to be the go to brand for both CVS and Walgreens. I’ve read some scary things about Aurobindo and lack of quality control. I feel like I’m stuck with them though because pharmacists don’t seem to like people calling around asking about getting a better generic Xanax XR brand. Does anyone know of a way to get Greenstone or Actavis? Thanks.

Re: Optimistic (# 14)

Thanks got the info. I just moved to one 2mg XR because I thought my panic/ agoraphobia was in overdrive.

Then I looked at the manufacturer. It isn't me. This stuff is crap. It dissolves like an instant release. My other ones were like concrete. And the did indeed dissolve in XR fashion. I thought I was getting worse. Nope. It's cheaply made from India and other abroad companies with NO oversight.

The worst part? Some prescribers think you're overusing/abusing. NO! I just want to leave my house.

Thanks for your post.

Re: AlprazoFan (# 6)

Interesting, I am on Medicare and when I was taking OxyContin they would only pay for the name brand. It was so unusual the Pharmacy didn’t believe me. The insurance paid for the first one to give me “notice” so when I went to fill the second one they tried to tell me they couldn’t fill it because they only had namebrand. Great because that’s the only thing my insurance will pay for. They still argued with me. And I find it super sketchy that you the United States government insurance will only pay for Purdue medication despite Purdue defrauding this whole entire country for years.

Re: KS (# 5)

There are still very strict guidelines in place for drug companies making generic versions of a compound. Aside from potency standards, the version of the drug being sold can not suddenly cause an entirely new set of side effects.

Do you have anything other than anecdotal evidence of such things happening?

I see that I replied to this a couple years ago, and since then I am delighted to report that they cannot make Adderall anymore because they were doing such a bad job. Unfortunately that may be why we’ve had Adderall shortages for a while, but I would rather not get anything than get fake ones so I’m OK with this.

Please report stuff like this to the FDA. It helps even if it takes forever. I see a whole bunch of people were complaining about Rhodes oxycodone a year ago. They are fine now. The company heard and fixed it I guess. Or the FDA audited them and told them they’re failing, idk. I haven’t looked at any FDA actions against that pharmaceutical company, I’m just happy that Aurobindo got in trouble.

Also, Walgreens and Walmart don’t usually order from this horrible company, so if your pharmacy won’t get anything other than this one, try a Walgreens or a Walmart. They seem to have higher standards for their generic medication.

Adderall? Nah son, it’s not. But whatever, my brain doesn’t make a proper amount of dopamine so I have to buy it at the store. I don’t feel bad about that at all.

Re: Shezie (# 16)

Greenstone is the authorized Generic of Xanax. They feel exactly the same to me.

Re: AlprazoFan (# 7)

You’re actually wrong. It’s legal for generic medication to vary and strength up to 20% from the name brand, and they don’t compare them to each other. So one may be 20% stronger than the name brand, then the next month if you get one that’s 20% weaker than brand that’s going to be a huge difference.

Plus different manufacturers can use different fillers and people can absolutely have reactions to different fillers.

Re: Bella (# 2)

Alprazolam is the name of the chemical compound. There is no brand called alprazolam as that would be like there being a soda with the brand name "Cola."

If you're asking why you can no longer get "Xanax" brand alprazolam tablets, originally sold by Pfizer, they are now being marketed under that brand name XANAX which is a registered trademark of UPJOHN US 2 LLC, a Viatris Company. VIATRIS and the Viatris logo are trademarks of Mylan Inc., a Viatris Company.

The proliferation of cheaper, generic alternative have made it so insurance companies much more often will only cover generics and therefore most pharmacies won't even bother carrying the brand name. When a new compound is discovered by a company, they are usually given a brand name contract that allows them to sell the new drug without worrying about other companies reverse engineering the drug and selling their own generic version of the drug for a set number of years. This is when you usually see a large amount of pills with the famous (or infamous) brand name or imprints that usually become synonymous with the drug.

There is no brand name for alprozolam that would be Xanax made by Pfizer which is like 100 times the cost if you want to pay out of pocket. Alprozolam though is a generic auro is just the many of different manufacturers for alprozolam there’s also sandoz and greenstone and breckenbridge there’s a lot
