I've recently been prescribed Xanax for anxiety and I accidently broke one but I still took it. I know it says not to crush or chew tablet but will I be okay ? ## As a rule, any scored pill is safe to break. You would have no problem ## @Teresa, I don't know if your pill has one, but Eddy is right about the score line. One other note worth mentioning is that if it's not an extended-release tablet then you shouldn't have anything to worry about concerning its efficacy or rate of absorption. Our stomach acid would naturally disintegrate the tablet's composition as it is. I believe they just have that warning label concerning the crushing or chewing of a tablet to dissuade potential abuse. Hope this helps! Please do post back sometime and let us know how things turned o...

I was wondering if someone could tell me how long I should wait to take a 1 mg xanax after taking a 10 mg hydrocodone at around 11 am this morning? ## There's no specific time that you have to wait, if they've both been prescribed for you. However, taking them together could result in your experiencing more severe side effects than usual, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and sedation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Interesting warning box at the Pfizer Xanax site: WARNING: RISKS FROM CONCOMITANT USE WITH OPIOIDS Concomitant use of benzodiazepines and opioids may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death [see Warnings, Drug Interactions]. ? Reserve concomitant prescribing of these drugs for use in patien...

I think that the Internet is a very useful tool to gain information. I also think that this website provides a good forum for discussion of medications. What troubles me, however, is the huge number of people placing posts asking where they can find a doctor to prescribe large amounts of narcotics, supposedly for pain management. Most allege that their doctors "moved" or "stopped prescribing". I have sincere doubts about these posters. People posting these kinds of questions are rare in reality; doctors don't move without referring patients to other health care providers. Doctors also don't just "stop prescribing" - unless it's for a good reason. One of the good reasons a doctor can stop providing prescriptions is if s/he thinks a patient is taking a ...

I first started popping half a 2mg xanax about once a day when i was 12 almost 13 and i kept needing more so i went up to about 15 2mg xanax a week when i was 13 to 14. After that addiction mess i got better but have been relapsing a lot. Now i take 2 2mg pills every other day and im just worried and need advice. Im 14 at the moment ## My Mom used to give me Valium at your age on occasion. Where do you get these? You are playing with fire as Xanax are much more dangerous than they seem. It would be best to rethink taking these, serious problems can occur when withdrawing from them ## A sudden withdrawal creates the risk of your experiencing seizures, so it is best to be careful, according to the FDA. Other withdrawal effects may possible include nausea, dizziness, headache, and diarrhea...

I took 4mg of Xanax Saturday night at 8. It is Tuesday night and half take a drug test tomorrow at 1:30pm. I bought a drug test just now and I failed it barely. The line was very faint. Do you think I will pass it tomorrow? ## Hi matt, Depending on the type of drug test you'll be taking, Xanax (Benzodiazepines) can be detected in your urine for up to 1-6 weeks after your last dose. It can be detected in your blood for up to 6-48hrs after your last dose. It can be detected in your saliva for up to 1-10 days after your last dose. It can be detected in your hair for up to 90 days after your last dose. To get a bit more precise, the average elimination half-life of alprazolam (xanax) has been found to be about 11.2 hours (range: 6.3 to 26.9 hours) in healthy adults. Half-life here means...

I got my refill Tuesday the 6th and today I noticed that the bottle looked short, I counted and there are 30 short. When I get 90 a month, I have been prescribed these for long time, and have always gone to krogers. This is the 1st time this has ever happen. Will they reimburse me my 30?? ## This happened to a friend who was dying. I don't think he ever had his missing pills replaced, although he did alert the pharmacy, I once got my refill with a few missing but you should contact the pharmacy director. Will they replace them, maybe ## In most cases, they won't, since this a controlled substance and, once you leave the pharmacy with it, they have no way of knowing if you took too many, sold them, gave them away, or etc. But it never hurts to alert them to the problem. The FDA w...

I have some alprazolam 0.25 mg that are oval. The letter on them is B on one side, then on the other side where you cut them in half, 3. Are these 0.25 mg? ## Hi Elaine, Re: "what does a white generic xanax 1mg look like": Because different drug manufacturers make their own unique versions of alprazolam, to say what one 1 mg tablet looks like, doesn't necessarily encompass all of the various manufacturer's versions of 1 mg alprazolam. You would have to provide more specific details about the particular 1mg alprazolam tablet you're referring to in order to narrow down it's image, manufacturer, National Drug Code, and other pertinent information. (For example, in my short investigation here I've already come across two different white 1mg alprazolam tablets - w...

I have a dark green bar with the correct imprint its just alot darker green then the ones ive had before ## Green Bars are made by more than one manufacturer. ## I'd like the 2 MG xanax 4xs a day. I'm bi-polar with panic attacks stress insomnia ## Better medicine out there than Xanax for what you have. The amount you're seeking is very high and will be hard to find ## Robin, As Eddy stated a bipolar dx can be a complex syndrome to treat and rarely if ever responds solely to high doses of benzodiazepines like Xanax alone.Always best to seek professional assistance to effectively treat your condition and not just your symptoms.good luck finding relief..... regards Kenie

I received my xanax prescription from india with GG 249, blank on back. small and rectangular. Came wrapped in plastic wrap, no bubble packs or name. bitter taste. seem to make me a little sleepy but causing mild headaches. are these real? ## Hi Sarah, Based on my research, if it's real, the pill imprint "GG 249" on a white rectangle-shaped tablet should include a few score marks that EITHER look like this: G|G24|9 (but also with a partial score above/below the "2"); and on the backside of the tablet there should be three full score lines that would divide the pill into 4 pieces (if separated). OR this: GG|2|4|9 (with no score marks on the back side) Another factor you can use for verification is the size of the tablet. Legitimate one's are reported to have a siz...

I have been on the green 2 mg Xanax, now have gotten the white 2 mg - the green worked perfect form me, but the white does not help my anxiety nor my nerves and panic attacks, has anyone else had this problem? Thanks for any advice... ## 90% of my Bars are white. Some are White round Xanax. I have a few bottles of green too. The color of the pill means little to nothing. ## I realize the color doesn't have anything to do with it I was thinking the difference of mfg the white one's needless to say is made by GREEN MFG. .. But I have never had a problem with the green bars settling my nerves down, starting the white it's just not happening, just wandering if anyone else had ever experienced this?

When may I pick up my refill? My bottle reads, "take two a day if needed for anxiety" and she only prescribed me 30. May I pick them up in 15 days? ## Sounds like you can although look on the bottle for the listed days supply of the medicine as your Doctor could have indicated a Month ## Wonderer, If ordered twice daily then it would be 15 days from the original day that it was dispensed. HOWEVER some prescribers will specify Ntr X30 days. best consult your pharmacist or prescriber for exceptions to the sig.some doctors write orders that contain a do not refill until date. ## I have to agree with the others that have posted, you need to check the label or check with your pharmacist, because your doctor may not be expecting you to need 2 every day, thus they may have designated i...

In the past I have been prescribed .25 mg alprazolam (Xanax) to take as needed. I would take about one a month. I am 46 years old with mild TBI (traumatic brain injury), seasonal depression and PTSD. I am unusual in having zero problems of drug addiction: I am super careful in monitoring my reactions to all medications, will never take anything other than as prescribed, and will still never take anything until first I've researched by myself its dosage, reactions to other medications, dangers and side effects and decided that the prescription is indeed worth taking. My current psychiatrist does not want to prescribe me Xanax, stating that it will cause permanent brain damage. I do not want to take Xanax if indeed just taking it once causes permanent brain damage! However, previously...

Had these 8 little blue pills. I didn't bother to look at them in detail bc they were almost (and I mean almost) the spitting image of the blue football. So a friend and I decided to take one or 2. Afterwards I got to looking at them. Typed everything into a pill identifier. I cannot remember the imprint now. They were xanax but the kicker is they were .25. Pretty strong too. I cannot find a pic of reference to this anomaly. ## So you take a pill having no idea what it is?? Kind of stupid, don't you think? ## My Blood Pressure medicine comes in little Footballs. Who cares what a pill might look like and you were very foolish to take these. Did you and your friend get off, very smart. ## SCOTT, Seriously??

my pharmacy filled 2 mg xanax but why are the numbers reasding vertical, online they side to side ## Hello, I haven't been able to locate a (2 mg) Xanax pill with the imprint GG 295...It is possible that you were accidentally given a different medication by your pharmacy. It isn't uncommon for that to happen, so I would consider calling up your pharmacy to verify your prescription before taking any of the medication. The closest match I've been able to find is Isosorbide dinitrate (5 mg); which is a round pink pill with the imprint GG 259 divided by a score. This medication is a nitrate used pharmacologically as a vasodilator, e.g. in angina pectoris but also for anal fissure, a condition which is known to involve decreased blood supply leading to poor healing. It is also us...

If your doc said no, then no. They do U/A's and they specifically check for benzos. They can kick you out of treatment. If you are in treatment and are serious about getting better, don't risk it. I'm doing so well on Suboxone and won't risk anything. I flushed a bottle of Percs, Tramadol, and 200 Xanax. I'm glad. I love being clean. ## And to answer the other side of the question, if you are allowed to take Xanax, then yes, the Naloxone in Suboxone only works to neutralize narcotics, not Benzodiazepines. ## I am so very proud of you. Congratulations!!!!!!! ## I take about 2mg of suboxone or less and usually only up too 1mg of alprazolam or "xanax" in a 24 hr period. I'm just curious if this is a safe combination. I've been doing so for about a year a...

is there a xanax thats blue and and round the front has nothing on it and the back it has a slit ## There is no legal U.S. Xanax tablet that doesn't have a marking on it. Under federal law they are all required to have imprints to enable their identification. Learn more Xanax details here. If there are no markings, then there are 2 possibilities. The first and most likely is that it is an over the counter medication and the second would be that it may be a foreign medication. Where was it found/obtained? ## I found a few round blue pills I was told they are 1 mg xanax but there is no imprint, nothing on either sides not even a line in the middle. It looks just like a round blue 1mg xanax mylan. Please help need to make sure what it is. Maybe its from out of the country. ## I found a...

Round & white theres a cross on one side & on.the Other side it reads mylan A 4 ## Xanax is available as both a name brand and the generic Alprazolam, so it is manufactured by several different companies, which means I couldn't possibly post pictures of all of them. However, I can tell you that the tablet with the MYLAN A4 marking contains 2mgs of Alprazolam, it is a generic for Xanax. Learn more Xanax details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## A pill bar that has xanax on one side and gg/2/4/9 on the other side, is this a xanax? ## Fake green bars going around in upstate sc. Too thin and too long.
