Is Greenstone Alprazolam Really Discontinued?

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 you know the money made off each generic fill? Plus there is going to be a point where they don't want you a customer anymore. The days of pill shopping around with your written Doctor's prescription is over. Here is what happened since 2020:

"Pfizer Inc. will spin off its Upjohn division—which includes Pfizer's authorized generic business Greenstone, LLC—and combine it with Mylan. The new entity will be called Viatris"

It's corporate like CVS. My independent pharmacy can order specific generics, they just want more money.

My independent pharmacy delivered generic Greenstone at the standard price, no $35 extra, after I related the situation to Cigna. Cigna contacted them and sent me a letter informing me. I just wonder about all these India produced generics. These definitely don't have whatever was in the Auribindo that in addition to not being effective, also made me feel sick and stupid. But even the Greenstone doesn't feel like it used to. Maybe it's just my physiology. I give up. It seems the best I can get is 4 hours +/-, unless I'm exhausted. So one night I sleep 7 hours, the next 4. Then 6 or 7 because I only got 4 the night before and then back to 4. I give up.
