In reply to Generic Ativan (lorazepam) vs real Xanax, posted by Fred23 on June 11, 2004, at 21:51:05

Hi Fred23,

Speaking from my own experience:

My pdoc wanted to start me on 0.25 mgs of Klonopin. Knowing I was going to buy generic, he wrote my PX for 0.5mg tabs. Different Generics are superior to other generics. You can try a search using the Google Dr-bob.org below to see what some of the other "Babblers" experiences have been. I had been on 0.5 mgs of Xanex. I started out with generic Xanax. Then for kicks, since I had read about the difference between brands and generics, I wanted to try for myself. The first "Brand Xanex" I took, knocked me out, put me to sleep (& Im talking about .5 mgs). Ive finnaly settled on Alprazolam (Xanex) manufactured by Greenstone Labs ; Clonozepam (Klonopin) manufactured by Teva. There is a Benzo equivilant chart on the home page. Check it out.


All insurance plans are different. When I was on Blue Cross/Blue Sheild, I had the option to choose between Brand and generic, however the co-pay was significantly higher for Brands rather than generics. It depended on the Drug.

Best Wishes,
Cindy
