Are Xanax 2 mg white bars spelled Xanax on one side and a lg 2 on the other side generic? They don't work as well as the Xanax 1 mg. ## Hello, Keo! How are you? No, those are the name brand tablets. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. What types of problems are you having with them?

Are these pills related to xanax? ## Hello, Marcus! How are you? A yellow capsule with the marking D 03 contains the active ingredient Gabapentin, so no it is not related. It is actually an anticonvulsant that's also used to treat certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have never seen this # 605 on any blue xanax pill. I tried looking it up. But there is no info on this pill. I got my prescription filled at a pharmacy I never used. I think the pill is not real. ## Hello, Salodina! How are you? You have received a generic for Xanax, this is a 1mg Alprazolam tablet. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

The half life of a benzo is 12 hours, period. Look it up before you start spouting crap. The average person at average weight will be clean of benzos approximately 2 days from their last dose based on its 12 hour half life. ## Hello, Kalenvex! How are you? I'm sorry, but that is not correct. The half-life of benzodiazepines can vary from one to another, for instance the half-life for Xanax averages about 11 hours, but for Valium it is about 43 hours. And the elimination time from the body can be anywhere from 5 to 6 half-lives, so Xanax would take anywhere from 55 to 66 hours, while Valium would take anywhere from 215 hours to 258 hours, in some cases, Valium has been noted to have a half-life of 100hours, so its elimination time would be 500 to 600 hours. You can Google this yourse...

Unexplained bruised skin since the green football shaped ## That is a very rare side effect and you might want to bring this up with your MD ## @Jocelyn, I think Eddy could be right about this being rare, as I'm not seeing 'bruises' specifically listed on general drug monographs. Information I'm finding on pubmedhealth shows that "blistering, crusting, irritation, itching, peeling, or reddening of the skin" is related to an allergic reaction. However, in this case it sounds like something else altogether. A couple of the other symptoms I noticed on their side effect list are "hives or welts" and "yellow skin". Do your bruises have a yellow tinge to them? At any rate, I agree that you should probably bring this up with your doctor if it has become ...

I have battled anxiety my whole life and my current primary care doctor thinks it's a joke and simply told me "you'll grow out of it." Due to recent hardships in my life the anxiety has gotten much worse and now depression has developed. I made an appointment with a local Psychiatrist in Greensboro but I just looked over all of his reviews and it seems every patient who comes into his office is diagnosed bipolar and put on very strong anti psychotics with major side effects, I don't want that. I was hoping maybe some xanax or valium with a mild anti depressant and some good counseling. Any suggestions? ## Hello, Jeffey! How are you? If your PCP doesn't take your issues seriously, then you may want to look into finding a different doctor. As to the Psychiatrist, t...

I have dealt with chronic stress for years. I've sought help from counseling with really no help. Years ago, doctors were a lot more willing to prescribe things like xanax, but not any more. When I did take it, I was taking between 1 - 3 .5mg tablets per day, some days, none. ## Hello, Jay! How are you? There is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. And yes, such medications were prescribed more freely in the past, but they have since been found to be habit forming and are very commonly abused, so such practices had to stop. More regulations were just put in place last year, so if you require such a medication, you'll need to see a specialist to have it prescribed. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to ...

are these used as sleeping pills? ## Well, first off, there IS NO 500mgs Xanax on the market! Yes, it is occasionally used as a sleep aid. From the color, I cannot tell you what this is or what the dosage is. Can you please post back with the imprint from the tablet? ## no such pill exists especially when the most commonly prescribed form is .5 mg and a typical o d rate is 10 to 15 mg ## Xanax comes in strengths of 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg. ## it's called a purple coffin and it will put you out for four days. ## Yes, I had them in the early 90, trust me 4 days, no hole joke ## have purple xanax , scored on one side, on the other it says INTERDRUGS across the top w/ a 1.0 under that in the middle. I am pretty sure they r real but what I worry about is if there is anything else in these...

hi due to my urine coming up negative for Xanax more than a few times, I decided to keep the exact .375 (one .375mg and one half) and dose 6 to 7 hrs before my urinalysis which showed negative for Xanax. there were a few times prior that I explained to the Doc that I had aken a half of a ,25, a few times over the month and would probably show negative for the Xanax-but taking the exact dose 6 to 8 hours prior to my urinalysis and it showing negative is putting me in danger of being taken off the suboxone program after doing great on it for 5 years. any suggestions. I'm a bit confused and angry, ## please help me with this one I really don't understand it not showing up unless the lab doesn't calibrate for this low of a dose?

my family doctor can not c me as a patient anymore due to so.e new law startin in Oct.. I need hydrocone/vicodine and xanex. I need ffhm due to many physical issues. ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? The new regulations don't prevent him from continuing on as your family doctor, it just prevents him from prescribing controlled substances for you. In order to have them prescribed, you'll need to see specialists and the type of specialists will depend on why you need them. For instance, if you're taking Xanax for anxiety, you'll need to see a psychiatrist, as well as a pain management specialist for the Vicodin. These medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability and constipation. Can anyone suggest a g...

I had 2 urines show - for Xanax. was placed on them due to reoccurring anxiety and panic attacks *(never had these and if really freaked me, I'm 50 ???) was caring for and inevitably losing my two geriatric pups who were with me 15 years as well as daily dealing with my 20 yr. old autistic son, I actually took an extra half a few times during this time and yes my urine tested negative and I explained. I made sure I had one dose put back to take on urine test day, took it approx. 6 to 8 hours prior to test and it showed NEGATIVE- I am compliant except for the times I explained my unfound Xanax and can not figure why I showed negative when I know I had taken my exact dose. I may be taken off the program and I'm doing only two 2/5 mg strips /day. Any help please?

Ok, I live in Las Vegas Nevada here is the question Why is so hard to get my Medication now a days? Since I came back from Michigan 2 years ago I've been living nothing but a hell life month by month getting my prescriptions refilled. I am a person who has always went the alternative medicine route until one day someone introduced me to a doctor who prescribed me Valium for adhd and sleeping. I've been on it almost 8 years and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to get off. Also a drunk driver hit me and my knee's are shot and I need surgery on my back so the Doctor put me on Hydrocodone aka Vicodin. (The reason I put Xanax in the title is because I found out they are almost they same exact drug). Let me clear I don't want to be on these medications but now I HAVE TO BE thanks to...

I need a doctor somewhere close to Hamilton Al. For xanax for cronic anexity disorder and helping stages of menopause. My doctor left to practice in California n I have full Medicaid on disability. The low dose of valum don't help. Can anyone help me? ## Hello, Stars! How are you? Benzodiazepines are not usually prescribed to help with menopausal symptoms. If hormones are not deemed appropriate, antidepressants, such as Prozac are commonly used. SSRI antidepressants can cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. As for anxiety, you'll need to see a specialist for that. Do you currently have a PCP that may be able to refer you to someone? That would likely be the easiest way to find the help you need. Benzodiazepines carry the risk of b...

PEX-2 Aprazolam white round tablets 2mg I.P. Manufactured by TR Pharma. In a silver 10 pack individually sealed. Xanax? I was told the I.P. means inspected and approved. Any information on that? ## Hello, Annie! How are you? They may have been inspected and approved by some agency in India, or elsewhere, but they have not been approved by the U.S. FDA, which is why they are not available here. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

Just moved to Melbourne Florida and my scripts are about out. Does anyone know of a doctor in area? I take Oxycotin 30mg and xanax x5 years with no issues. Thank you! ## Hello, Mike! How are you? Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such medications on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see specialists. Both of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and constipation. Having a PCP refer you to someone will most likely be the easiest way of finding the help you need. Can anyone suggest a good doctor in that area?

Please help me!!! I was off of Xanax for 2 weeks. Over the weekend I took some on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I'm scheduled for a drug test on Friday. Will it show up as a dirty urine? If yes, is there anything I can take to flush my system??? PLEASE HELP ME, I'M DESPERATE!!

I took 3 Zanex bars all within a two day period and have a UA 7 days from my last dose. Will they show up? ## Yes, there is a chance that it will be detected. Xanax contains the active ingredient Alprazolam, which is a Benzodiazepine and they are generally detectable in urine for approximately 6 weeks after last dosing. There is no way, however, to give a precise time frame, because it's always going to vary from person to person, due to individuating factors, such as your metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Are there any other questions or comments? ## ITS REALLY HARD TO GIVE A DEFINITE ANSWER. SOME SAY 6 WEEKS, BUT THE USUAL TIME IS 2-3 DAYS DUE TO THE SHORT HALF LIFE OF ALPRAZOLAM. IF YOU HAVE BEEN USING A LOT OF HIGH DOSE XANAX, THEN I WOULD DEFINI...
