> Alot of people prefer Xanax above all others,
The irony of this is that as Xanax was the only benzo I could "borrow" it was my only reference. I find the effect of the Mylan Ativan preferable, while it lasts, so will settle on Ativan.
> If you have a need to escalate the doseage,
What I want to determine is if the name brand would be more powerful, thus allowing a "smaller" dose, even if it would cost more.
Since the "escalation" of dosage is a sensitive issue, if 1.5 mg of the name brand would work better than, say 3.0 mg of the generic, then it would almost be better to pay the additional money for the name brand to avoid the stigma of "needing more."
