I'd love to jnow how you are even getting xanax.

Most of us have had ours taken away, even though we have well documented reasons for them and have taken them for years.

Try another pharmacy.

And tell us how you are getting them. I have PTSD and acute anxiety disorder, and still had them taken away.
They didn't even taper me iff,
So I had withdrawals.

Dying not dieting. Don't believe that urban legend about generic drugs can be off as much as 20%. People would be dying. Generic chemotherapeutic drugs and antibiotics are made, and if they were allowed to be off by 20% it would wreak havoc in the health care field. Don't believe these foolish urban myths. The Waxman Act is about pricing, nothing more.

Same exact ingredient (Alprazolam) just different shape of the tablet. And don't believe the urban myths about generics, and that they can be off as much as 20%. If there was any truth in that people would be dying, they do make generic antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs, and if they were allowed to be off by as much as 20% don't you think that there would be some deaths because of that? Don't believe it because it has no truth in it whatsoever, I am a registered pharmacist.

Re: Joseph (# 54)

As a Registered Pharmacist what brands would you say are the lowest quality out there? I personally think we have a bunch of loons who post their observations about Xanax. Take the O/P for example, popped 4 mg of Xanax and thoroughly enjoyed them. I've had bars and would never think of taking a whole one, even worse 2 2mg pills. Xanax is one of the most addictive and unforgiving medicines you can take when trying to discontinue. Benzodiazepines are the next plague that won't be taken seriously?

The ones from India are known to be of some "inadequate" issues. Aurobindo, Accord, and Ajanta comes to mind. The manufacturing plants have had sanitary problems, etc... however for the most part they are satisfactory, cheap generics is what the US market wants and they got it.

Same exact thing, just different shape tablet. And please don't believe that urban myth that generics can be off as much as 20%. If there was any truth in that people would be dying. They do make generic antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs. As a registered pharmacist I think that I know a little bit.

Re: Cricket (# 6)

Lies I'm on 4 2mg a day, and it's a tactic your pharmacist uses to keep you on lower doses. Push harder and explain you are feeling pain in your chest and can't breathe well on this dose, and you wake up feeling horrible. If that doctor still won't upgrade time to look for another doctor, if you don't mind the inconveniences. The doctor will just write to the next doctor your switching b.c the dose is not sufficient to you.

Ask the dealer who sold them to you. Honestly Ginger and Matty, I have never had this concern when filling a legally obtained medication rx.

Under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, there can be differences between generic medications, they are allowed to differ by as much as plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient from the original name brand.

Thus, if someone is used to taking a generic that is a little higher, then suddenly are switched to one that's a little lower, it may not work as well for them. However, the differences are usually slight and one's body will adjust in a week, or so.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

It can also vary from person to person, a generic that works well for you, may not work as well for someone else and vice-versa.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Re: Verwon (# 1)

Not true about Generics can be off as much as 20%. If that was true people would be dieing. What about cancer and chemo therapy meds, tb meds etc... People would be dieing. This is an urban myth about Generics. The reason why Generics are cheaper is because they didn't spend billions of dollars developing the medication and don't have to recoup those costs back. They're only copying the recipe when the patent on the name brand expires.

Re: Truth (# 36)

They do have the same active ingredient, just the binders and fillers may be different, but they are inactive so generic and name brand for the most part, the important part is the same.

My experience is that they are not the same as the bars... meaning they are weaker
