I am prescribed 3 mg so no 4 mg is no such thing but there is a 3 mg which is higher than the 2 mg bars which they do call schoolbuses 3 mg you can only get an extended release and you can get them in what they call pies their circles

Everybody’s telling me different answers so two of the blue footballs equals a bar or is it four?

8 0.25 xanax equal 1 xanax bar.
4 0.25 =1mlg xanax , so another 4 would make 2mlg xanax.

A bar is 2 mg. Also your doctor would probably never refer to it as a bar. It’s more of a user term. They usually discuss in mg. 8 of the .25’s would be equal to a bar. But for some reason for me I’ve taken more than 8 and don’t feel the same effects as if I were to take a bar.

One "bar" of Xanax is 2mg of that medication. They are generally white or yellow depending upon the manufacturer, and are clearly marked to be easily broken into four pieces. The so-called "footballs" of Xanax can be either blue or peach in color. The blue football is 1 mg and the peach is 0.5 mg.
Therefore to equal one Xanax bar in dosage, it would require 8 of the .25 mg tablets.
( obviously, Alprazolam is the generic name for the brand name Xanax)

I don't understand why you guys are being rude, maybe it's there first couple scripts and they aren't familiar, I wasn't when I started, and these blogs are for anyone to ask whatever questions they have and not be judged or criticized, and even if it isn't prescribed , it's safer for them to ask and get real awnsers, it's never wrong to ask, but it is wrong to make people feel stupid about it, shame on you!

I agree with handling this a little more professional but I also understand where they are coming from because yes anyone should be able to ask questions about something and being in the medical field I would not be asking total strangers about medication I am or possibly am taking I would be asking a medical personnel or a pharmacist other than just asking random people. So I suggest to anyone if you need help or answers and it is medical related or prescription related speak to someone that knows the answers correctly because you don't want to take the advice of a non medical person and then something happen.

I agree, I've been prescribed 1mg for years, never once has my Dr explained a bar of Xanax. Never mattered as it's not a measurement of prescribed dosage. I always thought 1mg was a bar until someone told be 2. Came here to verify, thanks for the info.

No. 1 bar of xanax is 2 mg. If broken along the 3 lines, each piece would be .5 mg.

I've been on 2mg for years. Mines yellow, and there is actually 4 bars, which equals .5. Times it by 4 and you grt 2mg

Thats wrong on your math if what your saying is its divided into three sections that are .5 each then you would only have a 1.5 and that's wrong I know from experience the 2mg xanax bar is in fact scored 3 times but it goes .5/1/.5 the center piece is the longest part. And u can obviously see the center piece is longer. Hope this helps with your confusion.

I apologize u guys both gave the same answer written different and are correct I meant to say some are divided differently depending on which brand they give you I have seen both the ones scored 2 times which go .5/1.0/.5 and then the others you both were explaining that are scored 3 times and go .5/.5/.5/.5... So sorry guys I misunderstood so we are all right

First of all, alprazolam is Xanax. That's the generic name and the brand name. The bar or Xanax stick is 2 mg. So you want to know how many .25 mg are in 2 mg? Well, the answer is 8. You divide .25 into 2.0 and it = 8.

He is correct... And where you got to thinking a 4mg zanex bar!! Well there is no such thing. That i know of atleast!!! They are 2mg if white or green does not matter. And the white football shapes are .25 the peach is .5 a half then they blue or green football shapes are 1.0. But they also make these in circles now. But like thor283 answerd you do the math.

Like it was said before alprazolam is xanax people! I'm prescribed 1mg of xanax (alprazolam) twice a day. If I were to take two of them at the same that's means I just took a xanibar. All a xanax bar is a higher dosage of Xanax aka alprazolam.
You be quiet honest if you don't even know what the drug is or what's in it, you probably shouldn't even be taking it.
I'm going to guess its probably not your prescription otherwise you would know more about the drugs you are taking.
