Aurobindo Alprazolam Er Vs Greenstone Xr, Sandoz & Actavis Er (Page 4)

Ok so a previous conversation I had with alprazolam user was with the newly approved Auribindo alprazolam ERs here in the US. They only make extended release here on US and they make instant release as well but do not believe they are approved in the US just the extended release ER/XR..and aurobindos is as follows: .5mg er- x 72 1mg er- x 73 2mg er- x 74 3mg er- x 75 I have not yet tried any of the auribindo alprazolam products. I know they are made from India and just my preference I enjoy USA made medicine. I have been doing just great on all greenstone xr / er tablets and think they are great but within the last few years auribindo, sandoz, activas have made their own extended or xr or er version of alprazolam. The new sandoz er looks nice and well made but I have stayed away from sandoz since it started the press underground market and ruined sandoz alprazolam with all the fakes so I stay away from sandoz since and activas I stay away from depending on the medicine. Which leads me to my question which is the best of most preferred alprazolam extended er and xr release: greenstone(my preferred but only tried activas er) sandoz activas or auribindo. I would love to hear your feedback and any experiences with these medicines as I take greenstone xr and was wondering if it is the most efficient but have not tried the Indian aurobindo or sandoz or activas er..which is your favorite and what do you all think of auribindo alprazolam er compared to greenstone xr alprazolam? Thanks can't wait for some feedback. Greenstone or aurobindo or sandoz or activas on extended release which is best?

These are the blue y 20 pills right? I used to get 2mg and go to Walgreens and get yellow bars that worked great super strong. Then I just got 1mg alprazolam pills that are blue with y 20 on them. I took one and didn’t feel anything. It tasted like alprazolam but nothing happened. I even took another one and still didn’t feel anything. I started googling to see if they were counterfeit pills. I thought it was me. But these pills are crap right?

I know this is old and I’ve never taken ER or XR 2mg. I would think that wouldn’t make much sense since alprazolam Is the quickest acting benzo. That’s why people (myself included) use them for anxiety and panic attacks. If you need something that’s longer acting what about klonopin. That’s what everyone I know takes if they have constant anxiety. Maybe your doctor will give you a few 1mg short acting for break through?

FYI, Aurobindo medication is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Not only does it not work, and it has weird stuff in it that will make you feel worse, their factories have been in trouble multiple times for being dirty and gross. You can read about it on the FTA website. They had to stop making Adderall because it was so bad.

If you find yourself liking these Xanax better than others I would go out and get a drug panel and make sure they aren’t giving ketamine or something weird.

Re: Optimistic (# 64)

You are dead on! I’ve been on Xanax unfortunately since 2002 for severe panic attacks and have been through the horror of being switched to other brands by CVS with no notice. Aurobindo cost me an 80k a year job they were so bad and no one would listen. I got a great psych 2 yrs ago who puts greenstone on every order and found a mom and pop place that orders them. When Covid hit the pharmacy starting having issues getting greenstone. This has been going on for over a year now. They’ve always managed to come through but this month I was given the worst news I could hear, your greenstone is still 3-4 wks out on backorder but we got you Aurobindo!! I had just tapered down from 4 to 3 mg and was doing well and it’s unbelievable how ineffective this garbage is. How is this legal to sell this medication? I’m trying everything I can to get a new script but I may be stuck in Aurobindo hell for the next month. Anyone else running into shortages with ordering Greenstone?

Re: Bobby (# 65)

I’m dealing with the same thing. I’m on .25 3x a day and have taken greenstone for years and after Covid CVS are always back ordering it. Finally they told me after being a loyal customer for years to either take the aurobindo brand or find another pharmacy. Well my insurance for scripts is cvs/Caremark. So this is how it is now. Going to see if my dr will write a script for name brand only

How is this a thing!???

Tell the FDA!!

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TOO LONG!!! WE DESERVE BETTER!!!

So sick of these companies getting away with it because they have the luxury of being able to conveniently dismiss us as crazy because of what the meds are prescribed for and the nature of the meds.

Re: Tonya (# 66)

the only problem with most insurance is they won't pay for a brand name if there is a generic. I have been getting my Xanax from Publix and they have carried the Greenstone brand and Breckenridge. Ive had no problem with either. just picked up my script from Publix and I couldn't help but notice after over 4 years of the Greenstones they just switched to Aurobindo. Obviously, they did this cause there CHEAP!!!

Very strange... On the paper it says Actavis, but on my bottle it says this BS AUROBINDO. By Far The worst manufacturer of Alprazolam I have ever had in my whole time taking my medication. This should not be allowed to be sold anywhere. They seem like it’s nothing!!! Doesn’t help with my anxiety and panic attacks also, therefore since I’ve been taking them for a long time it’s messing with my mood, ect. How do I get these off the market as a medication? No matter what I do they don’t help.

Re: EDDY (# 4)

THIS IS TRUE!! AUROBINDO BRAND IS TERRIBLE!!! I has some really odd side effects. Bad tension headaches, itchiness like fleas, having an allergic reaction. This particular brand is made in India. Luckily I have amazing Dr & didn't have to go to the zero. It was almost like a withdrawal effect as well. It messed me up TERRIBLE. I talked to 2 different pharmacists they said every brand has fillers in the pill. The pharmacist said we have more complaints about These (this particular brand) AURBINDO were by far THE WORST & SCARIEST brand I've taken. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED to BE PRESCRIBED PERIOD!!

I saw my doctor yesterday for refills. She stated DEA has started telling doctors to start weaning patients off to at least half of their doses. She said they want to stop prescribing it. I have seen this for years. I’m wondering if it’s finally here? I did see where the DEA has already put lots on pharmacies for filling alprazolam. It’s a “secret” number so that the pharmacies do not try to manipulate the system so they don’t know when or if they’re even getting close to their limit. Once a pharmacy hits that secret limit it forces the patient to have to shop around for a pharmacy who hasn’t hit their limit. Which is going to mess everything up because they won’t know their limit until filling and we all know you can only transfer once. It was dated 4/2023.

Re: EDDY (# 4)

Auribondo ER is horrible. Sandoz regular has no effect at all. I've had a problem with both of these generics when I was on Oxazepam and Teva discontinued it. No other generic was effective. I used to be able to get filler information from google but can't seem to do it anymore. Sandoz put shellac on the outside of the oxazepam capsule and Aurobindo used SLS as a filler. No wonder Auribondo makes me sick. You're not supposed to wash your hair with shampoos with Sodium Laurel Sulfate.

Re: Alejandro (# 1)

I hate Auobindo ER/XR. Not only do they not work at all for me but they make me feel sick. I had Aurobindo 2 mg. regular but they are identical to the Greenstone 2 mg. regular. I looked with a magnifying glass so my pharmacy may be playing games.
The 2 mg. Aurobindo is identical to the 2 mg. Greenstone in appearance. The Aurobindo ER/XR are round and I would stay away from them. The Greenstone ER/XR is square. Sandoz is not an option for me. I've had alprazolam and oxazepam from Sandoz and I swear there is zero active ingredients in them.
