Actavis Alprazolam Yellow Bars

Does anyone know whether the thick R 039 yellow bars are real? Knockoffs? Does anyone thinkthey have any value. They have a cheap looking score, too. ## it's real just a generic form ## @Wilhed, Just to confirm, the yellow bars marked R|0|3|9, are in fact legitimate generic 2mg Alprazolam tablets, manufactured by Actavis. For your own verification, these particular bars are reported to be approximately 14.00 mm in size and should carry a National Drug Code of 00228-2039. Having said that, you shouldn't have to worry about it being fake at all, unless you didn't get it from your doctor with a valid prescription. I hope this helps! ## I'm having same question ## I took one yellow bar and then a half of one and still nothing. How long does it take to kick in? ## I got a hol...

American generics in general have a pretty poor reputation in the rest of the world, and are priced higher than brands in almost any other country. Alprazolam has been removed from the UL NHS and is only available as Xanax brand - probably higher priced than in the US! We are forced to access our alps from other countries, the finest being found in Belgium, Argentina & Serbia. I have tried several US alps, kindly sent by kindred spirits there, but only one, the 1 & 2mg by GREENSTONE, were any good at all. Sandoz' GG249 are amongst the poorest I've had. I am, however, interested in the yellow Purepac bars, which, being owned by Actavis, who make the best generic BZDs in the UK, I imagine (and have heard) should be of fine quality. My problem is that no US pharmacy will sh...

I recently received some yellow 2 mg bars with the usual imprint of r 0 3 9 and with the pill scored 4 times. The only difference is that they are thicker than the usual yellow Xanax bars. Has anyone else seen any of these floating around. I am thinking they may be time released because I wake up with the benzo hangover ## Hi Eugene, I have identified this imprint as Alprazolam (A.K.A Xanax) 2 mg like you mentioned, but to my knowledge, they are not extended release. I believe they are manufactured by Actavis (Watson) pharmaceuticals. Is that the manufacturer you're used to? If not, maybe the "inactive" ingredients in the formulation are causing the hangover feelings. Do you think that could be the case? Here is some of the contact info for Actavis/Watson pharmaceuticals if ...

I bought some bars there the r 0 3 9 their a ligth yellow and when u eat one or dissolve one in ur mouth it doesnt taste as bad so i didnt need any water to finish the whole thing i also dnt feel them kickin in at all. Are they bad old or fake? ## These are actually "real" tablets. The imprint R 0 3 9 has been identified as generic Alprazolam (2 mg), manufactured by Actavis. National Drug Code (NDC): 00228-2039 Generic medications are permitted by the FDA to contain up to 20% more or less of the actual active ingredients. This factor, along with different inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) could enable you to have a completely different reaction to each medication. In light of this, I'd probably consider talking to your doctor about writing a new script for a brand name ...

It is shaped like a xanxa bar and is very dark yellow like mustard and has R039 on it. Is it a good quality brand or not? ## Hi bubba, Just to confirm, the 2mg Alprazolam marked with R|0|3|9, is a 14.00 mm rectangular bar with a mustard-colored shade of yellow, including three score lines on the back. The "R" should also be "cursive-like" with a little line extending outward like this "-R". However if you believe you have a bad one, I would still encourage you to look up the pill on google images for a more visual comparison. Reports say that it should be made by Actavis as well as carrying a National Drug Code of 00228-2039 for verification. I hope this helps! ## So again with the bad/good Xanax bars R|0|3|9. I placed a half against my tongue and it seemed fine!...

I got my prescription for 2mgs xanax bars filled and they are like a lighter yellowish browinsh kinda color and I've never seen one like this. Can anyone tell me if they ever experienced or came across one of these? ## Ant, Legitimate 2mg Alprazolam bars with R039 (made by Actavis) are depicted as being light yellow in color, but not necessarily having any brown to it as you had mentioned. It should be clear to tell that they are indeed pure yellow. For verification, the pill by Actavis carries a National Drug Code of 0228-2039. Inactive Ingredients: - Silicon Dioxide - Starch, Corn - Docusate Sodium - Lactose - Magnesium Stearate - Cellulose Microcrystalline - Sodium Benzoate - D&C Yellow No. 10 Did you get these filled at a real licensed pharmacy? Not judging you if you didn...

I 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... ## I m...

What is in a Xanax green bar with R 309? It seems to be a lot stronger than anything I have taken. Dizzy is the way to best describe how I feel. ## Hi Mindy, Did you get your Rx filled by a licensed pharmacy or know where the bar might've originated from? I'm only curious because legitimate generic Alprazolam bars with an imprint of R 309 are depicted by their manufacturer (Actavis) as being "yellow", not green in color. This makes me a little suspicious of the pill being a counterfeit (with an unknown amount of medication or who knows what else)- To be fair, I do understand that drug companies might have minor inconsistencies among different batches... But if you could add some details as to how you came about it, I think that may be helpful to other readers. For verifi...

I have a few white 2mg bars scored on both sides and one side has a fancy R and then 039 on one side and is just scored with nothing written on the other side. The taste is exactly like any other Xanax I just can't find anything about the white bars have a fancy R 039, only yellow. but I took 1 and then another half and felt just like I do with any other bar. Any info appreciated ## People like you scare me. Perhaps you act fine on 3 or 4 mg at a time but be advised it is a Felony to have a Xanax w/ out a prescription! With that said, I'm seeing that authentic R 039 alprazolam tabs made by Actavis are listed as being yellow and not white. I believe the white ones are being heavily regarded as fake throughout many drug forums; but I'd imagine that this also depends on where o...

Okay I've been taking 4 1 mg tablet blue footballs for years the other day i got my skript filled i always say i only want the footballs but i forgot and ended up with a script of blue round xanax that have a R on one side and 031 on the other and i dont know why but it doesnt fill like the same strength i even was feeling sick like withdrawl symptoms from these pills is it just me or are they just that much weaker then the other ones ?????? ## These are made by Actavis, the same manufacturer that makes the yellow R039 bars that most people seem to like. I've noticed when changing from generic brands of alprazolam it takes a couple of days to adjust. ## It can really vary from person to person, but as Mason stated, Actavis does list these as containing 1mg of Alprazolam, which i...
