> Did you see my post above, well today I called almost all of the pharmacies in the west metro area, all the chains and small owned pharmacies have switched to Mylan. Most don't even carry real xanax anymore by upjohn or greeenstone which is made by upjohn as well. The Mylan people called me back today due to the fact I emailed them to tell them their product was inferior. I was having to triple dose for same effects. They are sending me a sample container and are going to test my meds. I hope if they show weakness or inefectiveness they will be stand up people and let me know. Also the FDA does not regulate generics the way we belive they do. They only randomly show up to batch test drugs for strength bioflavabilty etc. It is not like the meat industry where a federal inspector is on site. I emailed Pharmacia(upjohn) to let them know that they are being pushed out of the Detroit area marketplace. I am having my doc rewrite my refills DAW dispense as written and will only be using xanax from Pharmacia from now on. Oh here is the real kicker it seems the generics are all being gobbled up by large companies so they can increase prices and make the marketplace less competitive....so we pay more for less. Another interesting fact is I called almost 12 drug stores and none I repeat none had original xanax in stock it was all special order, They all had 10 had Mylan 2 had Geneva....so even when you want to pay for the real thing they make it a hassle. DON'T LET PHARMACIES DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU.

> GilThank you so much for responding! So you are going to get your Xanax directly from Upjohn now? This is just awful! Collette
