In reply to ALPRAZOLAM GENERIC v/s XANAX, any difference btw? (nm), posted by neo on January 27, 2005, at 12:32:37
It depends on who you ask. And the generic brand.
Mylan makes generic Xanax (Alprazolam), which are round instead of oval. If you take a survey, about 80% will say that Mylan is "weaker" than it's generic counterpart, Greenstone Labs, who also make real Xanax. Generic drugs are legally supposed to be within a certain efficacy (strength), and Mylan is believed to be on the lower end of the spectrum. But that is just anecdotal and based solely on reports from other users of the drug.Klonopin (Clonazepam) is less addictive than Valium or Xanax, and is prescribed predominantly for seizure patients, but is widely used for anxiety in patients who are trying to come off of one of the aforementioned benzos. They metabolize slower than Xanax, at about the same rate as Valium (Diazepam).
