Are Branded Benzodiazepines or Generics Better?
Jatelka EDIT: Please note that this is a combined thread, so that the earlier posts are from before the "No Self Incrimination" Rule came into play
I swear that brand name Xanax is way stronger and gives me a different high then the generic alprazolam (such as G.G.) Also my friend swears brand name Valium ( the ones with the cut out V) are much better and different than generic Diazepam...Maybe i'm crazy but I swear I can tell the difference, has anyone else ever noticed this?

Yes, there are slight differences that I have noticed also. The company's manufacturing these cannot veer to far from the general makeup of the drugs they are offering as generic.

yesi havenoticed italso. my doctor told me this about my generic meds is that the percentage of "real" stuff in it can vary greatly.in the brand name stuff it is always has say 95-100% (i dont remember the exact numbers so i am makeing them up) and the generic can vary from 80-100%. so i dont know if you have them from different batches but that could be why some seem less strong

I went to the Doctor today and got the generic Xanax, footballs and I think they are just as good. And I also get the generic Norco, Watson and they are just as good as Brand name to me. I am so wasted............................................ ............................................... Hollywood |

The Combined "Are Branded Benzos or Generics Better?" Thread
Swim has upjohn xanax and its amazing. Swim only needs one and he feels like he's so confident its just so unlike swim. He can talk to people with much more confidence and not get red faced like he would have done before.
Roche's Valium is not so impresive he can take a huge amount and not feel much when he can take one mg upjohn xanax and feels great. Would taking one for every time he needs it like going out on a date or other times when he feels like he is going to be anxious but not ever day stop him from building up a tolerance? |

Xanax Xr
Does Anyone Know If Crushing A Xanax Xr Is Really As Dangerous As The Warning On The Bottle And Insert Say? I Get Noooo Relief From These And Though If I Crushed One I May Get The Immediate Relief That The Regular Xanax Used To Give Me??
Thanks! |

If you can , ALWAYS ,go with the brand names,there potentcy are better than most generics. Thats not saying all generics are weak. Some generics are just fine ,but you will find out by experimenting whats best for you.

Oggy - Give us some sources. Let's see some evidence that says you're right and every pharmacist in the world is wrong.
Show me some evidence that brand names make a differance. This fact will change the way pharmacies operate; you're on the verge of revolution here .. just need some evidence. |

No, fool, we wont continue this at all. I'm done. I wont argue with you. Open your mind to learning, and you'll go alot farther in this fourm, and in the world. your opinion of a pill being weaker is not proof of evidence. perhaps your tolorance is differant? or more likely, perhaps you had a smaller dose size. The FACT is that generic pills have the same active chemical as the namebrand. Just because the binders used and binder ratio may be differant, does not make the pill weaker, usually the binder ratio differance is to make harder to abuse. The reality is that a 1mg pill contains 1mg of active ingredient. Next you're going to tell me that a 5/500 Vicodin brand hydrocodone is stronger than a watson brand 5/500 hydrocodon/apap pill.

About generics, here in the US and probably in the UK ,generic standards are alowed 20% of the original patent. Beleive me when I say generics have a lower standard and are not equal to the original patent. Generics differ from brand to brand , but generally they are weak compaired to the name brand. Don't beleive everything you read. They might have the same chemical properties but they ARE weaker. |
