> Hello, I tried generic diazepam today from Mylan. It seems to be good and effective, it is giving me anxiety relief and muscle relaxation, and this is at about 6-10mgs of it.

> 1) I have read some older posts from babble, and some one suggested that Mylan diazepam is poor, but this doesn't make sense to me because it is obviously effective. So, does anyone have any other experiences with Mylan generic diazepam?
>
> 2) What are the other diazepam generics, and which ones are better or worse than Mylan from your experiences?
>
> 3) I heard about an "orange book" or something that lists stuff about Brand Name versus Generic, does anyone know how to find this book or information?Mylan in the past did a very naughty thing and bought up all the raw chemicals for making certain benzodiazepines. They were sued in California and the state won. But that's aside.. times move on, and I'm sure they're no different than Teva or Purepac in their manufacturing process.
The Orange Book is the FDA guide to all approved medications and lists some standard guidelines to how generics are tested and approved. It (is a big 6MB Adobe Acrobat file) can be found at http://www.fda.gov/cder/orange/obannual.pdf
I hope that helpsJay
