> Greenstone is really the real deal you should do well on it. How long did you try it? Made by manufacturer of brandname. Phillipa see above link on generics and the sender is on the withdrawing from klonopin thread as he discovered the generic wasn't as good as the real deal. So back on real deal for one day and he feels great. So please read thread on generics mentioning zoloft. Phillipa
Fortunately, the Mylan does work and isn't causing withdrawal like the klonopin fellow. I just feel like it should be working better. I've increased my dose recently since I sort of had a relapse. And I feel A LOT better, but not as good as I think I would on a stronger generic (or actual name-brand, ideally, but my insurance says no to that.) I've read quite a bit on the internet about people thinking Mylan is a weak generic...it works, but could I be getting more relief from the panic and anxiety? I was on a dose this high back in 1995-99 before I tapered significantly until two months ago. Looking back, I *think* that the dose helped more then than it is now. Then again, maybe I just need some time. It's only been about two months since the symptoms came roaring back.
Regarding Greenstone, I filled a prescription a couple weeks ago at a pharmacy that supplies it after reading raves about it in forums such as this. The pharmacy didn't have enough to fill my script, though, so they gave me a three day supply. I tried it a couple times but didn't feel like it worked very well (less potent than the Mylan to me.) So, instead of returning to get the full prescription at that pharmacy, I went to the one that supplies Mylan. Could I have not given the Greenstone enough time to work properly? I'd think you'd know right away with alprazolam.
So, I want to try Sandoz, I suppose, since I keep reading that it is better than Mylan, up there with Greenstone. I fear getting a script and having it not work well for me, though, which is why I'm looking for feedback. It'll be a couple weeks until my refill, so I guess I'm trying to decide whether to take the "Sandoz gamble"...
Thanks,
Dan
