Best Generic Alprazolam (xanax) (Page 8) (Top voted first)

I have been getting the 2mg Greenstones the last few years and they work much better than the Actavis. Now i read that greenstones were changed back in early 2014. Is it people that take these to feel high or people who really need them for anxiety and nothing else? Regardless if they have been changed they're still much better Actavis and I have heard mixed results on Sandoz. Dava seems to be crap. Took it once (looks to be from Endo who bought out Qualitest). Any opinions on the current state of the generic xanax manufactures? And lastly, no insurance company will give me the name brand. It's generic or nothing.

Greenstone is the closest generic you will find to beand Xanax. Pfizer (the owner & manufacturer) of beand Xanax owns Greenstone therefore they are made by the same manufacturer. I have had every generic known to man and Greenstone is the closest thing to to brand name. Breckenridge and then Sandoz would be my 2nd and 3rd choices.

Will / can Walgreens special order Greenstone?

Also, my insurance company will cover brand name Xanax for a minimal cost.

Is brand name really that better than the generics?

My pharmacy just switched from Sandoz to Actavis and they're horrible. Never an issue with Sandoz. I'm not sure there's anywhere near 1mg of active ingredient in these Actavis. They're almost completely ineffective. Sigh..

I agree, I have found Sandoz to be significantly more efficacious than Actavis, Mylan or Teva.

Buy empty gel caps from Amazon, put the tablet inside, and it slides right down.

For capsules, you may already know, put in the front of your mouth (they float to the back), take a good gulp of water, swallow.

This really helped me a lot.

Just do your research and get the smallest gel cap size which will fit your tablet

I have tried them all. At first Greenstone had the best ethocacy. For some reason their efficacy depreciated. Now I find Sandoz to have more stable efficacy. This represents my opinion only.

Re: Darcy (# 28)

I have been on 2mg for years now as I have been taking Xanax so long for my anxiety that my tolerance has become really high. Because of this I don't get as much relief as I should. I can take 4mg and be totally able to function properly. Unfortunately this has also increased my tolerance to everything. I had surgery and had to take a bigger dosage of pain meds just for a few hours relief. I have chronic insomnia and have tried every pill out there and bone work because of my tolerance issues. I don't take my on a regular basis. only when I feel anxiety or like I'm going to have a panic attack but one alone doesn't really much. I'm sure if they were not generic they would have a much better effect.

I see everyone mention Greenstone a lot as being the best. Could you please let me know what pharmacies you are getting these at as I have not been able to find this brand. I get 2mg bars at CVS and lately it seems they are going between Sandoz and Aurobindo. I can tell the difference even in their consistency Sandoz seems to have a thicker coating.

It's not weird when you notice a difference in the medications and how they are effective in treating your problem

Have your doctor write the prescription the brand that works the best for you. My Dr had no problems doing that for me! I hope that will help..

Re: frenchy (# 2)

Sorry I did not include the brand but my doctor writes for Greenstone. The round Xanax do not work near as well not to mention I have proven that I am allergic to the fillers that they use in them and these are the cheaper brand that pharmacies order!

Re: Girlinflorida (# 8)

I go through the exact same thing. I was on mylan for years, mylan manufacturer, they were great, well that ended, and then target before it came cvs would order them for me, well it turned to cvs, I was on aurobindo manufacturer with my dr stating only aurobindo manuf, well they gave me Sandoz, and I ended up in er with chest pain, it felt like they weren't even working but I had to take them because cvs would do nothing, but after being on it for a month it got into my system and was working, but now im getting aurobindo, took first one this morning, and gna have to suffer till my system gets use to these again. I hate not having my anxiety controlled after 20 yesrs

Re: Bird (# 140)

Yeah I was a lil nervous about trying the aurobindo generic, but I was forced to due to circumstances, however so far very good results! I might even like them better than the sandoz I've been taking for about a year. The activis ones were good too, very fast acting n hard hitting, but wear off pretty quickly. We'll see how I feel about these aurobindos once Ive been taking em for a cpl weeks.. The one brand I would outright refuse is Mylan. Those r absolute garbage n I believe they maybe have about a quarter of the amt they should have in em, if that.. I am not a big fan of the davas either, though they are not the worst, and certainly better than mylan. But everyone is diff, I know ppl who love davas.

Re: RJ (# 150)

They didn’t change their formula someone online just said it and it spread like wild fire. It’s a years old decades old formulation and is the same as brand name pfizer they didn’t change their formula. Now there’s a chance they are using less active ingredients than they used to but the formula is the same just look up the active and inactive ingredients they have for now and then they are the same. The only thing that may have changed is how much alprazolam they are actually putting in them which could been less in some batches making peeps believe they changed up the whole formula but no that didn’t happen if it did they would have to inform their consumers. Pinching on the active ingredient I don’t see last them or the fda or dea though. Still the best generic ms along with Teva bars (actavis) only two good ones around it seems anymore
