Jay,
Generic difference is real - I had a bad batch of Sandoz xanax from my pharmacy and was getting withdrawal symptoms on my regular dose - thought I had Tolerance withdrawal!!! Didn't !!
I finally got the name brand xanax, then switched to greenstone brand, and I've been fine ever since. In fact here is proof that the sandoz bottle of pills was not as strong:: I filled my pill case one day and unknowingly took the pills out of the sandoz (no good) bottle. That day I had startle at loud noises, head pressure excess anxiety, all the symptoms of withdrawal, WITHOUT knowing I had taken the wrong pills. When I took my 6pm dose, I happened to examine the pill and saw the little marks on the pills that SANDOZ uses, NOT Greenstone! So I knew immediately I had switched the pills by mistake. I threw the bad ones out and have not had one shred of "tolerance" withdrawal since!! Proof enough for me.
