So Jay, you are saying that all benzodiazepines generic and name brand are equivalent in bioavailability? So I guess I will ask the pharmacy to order me a generic xanax instead of the name brand and save myself $35.00 then! Can't there be a difference in individual metabolism of the drug due to your own metabolic system? I *do* notice a difference in name brand xanax it seems to work quite well but the generic seems to last longer between doses or am I imagining it? Also the name brand stuff breaks apart differently; when you break a xanax it snaps in half; when you break a generic alpraz. it is soft and sort of crumbly (Sandoz brand).
Thanks,
Val
