> > I take Alprazolam (Generic Xanax). I usually get it from a company called Geneva Pharmaceuticals. This past time the pharmacy filled it with another generic made by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and I took on of the pills and it seemed to have no effect. Is Mylan reliable or should I complain to my pharmacy? What are my rights?

> I thought it was my immagination or the fact that I started a new medication, I even had a panic attack for the first time in years. I too got the little round pills from Mylan and THEY DON'T WORK!! The drugstore said they can't switch them for me and that I need a new script from my doc specifiying the brand that I want! Collette
**************************************************I've had the same experience with ativan. I use the brand name now. The FDA has about 1 inspector for every 20 manufacturing plants. There is no contol over storage conditions to and from the plant to the consumer and heat, etc. effectcs the potency.
Aside from that, I've performed my own experiments and the different brands just work differently - especially if your're sensitive to this kind of thing.
So it could be either or both reasons.
