All Generic Xanax Bars
UpdatedI just found out that Actavis was bought out by Watson! Fist they were PurePac then Actavis (yellow bars) and they were the a 10 on a scale of 1-10. All benzos as most of you probably know that are made by Watson are terrible. My pharmacy special orders Actavis Clonazepam for me and I asked for them to do the same but they called me back and said her computer said Actavis but she was sent Watson. Its also all over the net. I wonder if this means out beloved and most potent clonazepam and alprazolam will be Watson when they run out. Ivax was bought by Teva and now the script bottle says Ivax but the pills say Teva. The bottle and pill used to say Ivax and the Ivax were faster and longer acting and much stronger. This is not good news for people who know the truth about generics...

never mind ignore the two posts about actavis and watson, I was thinking of Mylan benzos.. Sorry about that
I have many different bottles of Xanax from different suppliers, and I also almost died on Xanax. There is no real need for your opinion on what brands work, and what brands don't. It is at least 80% in your own mind!
i ran across your post while trying to find which generic of alprazolam to buy, because having read many reviews, there do appear to be differences in effectiveness caused by fillers and such independent of having the same active ingredient. wanted alprazolam manufactured by greenstone, pfizer's own generic, not available at any local pharmacy where i live. so i called pfizer just now. after your second post, it seems odd to say that the pfizer rep said that it did indeed look like actavis was purchased by watson. she was very helpful, spent a long time on the phone with me and is going to escalate my request to find out which pharmacies in arizona sell greenstone. she also gave me the number for wholesalers that is generally not given to the public, so they can tell me which pharmacies in arizona will/can fill my prescription with the greenstone brand product, very nice of her, since it is not a public number. i will not reveal the number, but will definitely repost on this forum with pharmacy names that sell the greenstone product in arizona. she did not bad-mouth any generic, actually said they should all work the same no matter who the manufacturer was, but i have read too many reviews from long-time users to believe it, and did myself get one prescription that did not work and assumed it was me. have probably taken about 100 xanax over the past 10 years, not a lot, but enough to recognize a difference.
Both posts (#3 and 4) make excellent points regarding the effectiveness of these types of medications.
Similar to a placebo, I believe the effects of a medication are to a great extent already manifested in our minds with 'some expectations of the effects being a certain way due to tolerance building' or 'anticipating a certain reaction/feeling' from taking it. If the medication doesn't match up with these feelings, then it makes sense to me that that person would have a more negative outlook on it (and vise versa).
On the other hand, cheap fillers can also inhibit how well the medication gets absorbed into your system. Couple this along with the notion that the FDA allows a 20% variability in the amount of actual active ingredients in generic meds, and you really would think that you're taking a completely different medication.
Everything I have had from Watson brand are either weak or not what they are suppose to be.
You were just complaining about Purepac too? Its all in your head
Purepac doesn't stop the anxiety ! It's a 1.mg generic Xanax it first even work for stress. I know the difference of various brands..
