Hello,
I am prescribed 2mg alprazolam x2 daily... I normally go to CVS and have been receiving white bars gg249 which have always worked normally. However CVS pissed me off, I took my business to Walgreen's a few days ago, filled my script, and open bottle, and it's yellow bars, manufacturer Purepac. I have taken these for a few days now and I literally feel no effect! I took an extra one last night and still not even helpful. Is there a problem with this brand? Or is it in my head? It's like they are sugar pills or something! It's really making me upset... Any insight??

I can say this.i have been taking alprazolam for years.recently I started seeing a online doc.who prescribed me half my usual dose.i pick them up at Walgreens. Maker Sandoz peach 0.5.i swear they are almost plocibo.i looked into it and they do make drugs called biosimilers.i don't think alprazolam is one of them.i wish I could get the name brand Xanax. I hear they are a world of difference. Good luck.

Yes!!! I quit going to Walgreens cause of shortage of them. Had to go to Kroger’s. Then went s back to Walgreens and wow! These pills are very soft. Crumble easily! I started itching. I can’t wait to get thru them so I can go back to Kroger’s .

Thanks for the heads up, that's definitely what I plan on doing... However I just got filled 5 days ago, can't fill until next month. I got a whole month dealing with these sugar pills. Looking to see if anyone has had same reaction as me. Thanks tho for reply man

Does anyone get swollen ankles from the 2mg from CVS? I've never had a problem before. I don't care for CVS or Walgreens. I find small pharmacies that are personally owned. CVS alprazolam just seems it has changed. More fillers in it.
