In reply to Re: Interesting facts on alprazolam, posted by Abby Cunningham on September 7, 2010, at 16:15:19
I found this problem too in Indonesia, but interestingly enough it occurred more often with the "branded generics", whereas the least expensive generic was the most potent (apart from Xanax by Pfizer).
I prefer generic alprazolam made by Dexa Medica (Indonesia). It is about equipotent/bioavailable as the Xanax brand but is the least expensive.
Zypraz and Alganax are much more expensive and I definitely notice that they are less effective after a few days on them. I don't experience withdrawal, but much less somnolence (drowsiness) on Zypraz and Alganax.
I feel that Alganax is the weakest of them all but it is the second most expensive "brand" after Xanax.
Here's a breakdown of the prices (sometimes cheaper is better! :-D
Xanax XR $2.00/tablet!
Xanax $0.70/tablet
Alganax $0.50/tablet
Zypraz $0.40/tablet
alprazolam (made by Dexa Medica) $0.17/tablet
alprazolam (Xanax) 1mg TID
black tea: 3-4 cups/day
GNC Ultra Mega Gold vitamin supplement, BIDDx: panic disorder, MDD (unipolar, melancholia), perfectionist, probable PTSD
