I've never seen any yellow bars in person. Good info.

[colkraig]

Buspar isn't anything good and I haven't seen yellow ones only white. That's why you should check the imprint before you uy if you aren't 100% positive.

[GoddessofRATs]

I don't even know why Buspar is still used. I was scripted it last year by the clinic... the doc didn't wanna give me Ativan lol. Those Buspar did asolutely nothing. I mean i wasn't expecting to get high because i already knew there was no recreational value to them but i thought They'd at least calm me. I was RX'd them for Anxiety and they did nothing at all. For me, they are completely useless, i have a whole bottle of them somewhere around here. What a waist of 5 Bucks (my co-pay) and a waist of a Doctors appt.

But i get Xannies now from my real PCP. I'm calling them Monday to ask if i can be uped to the 1mg. The doc told me if and when i needed, i could go up to 1mg. Those .25's might as well be water but if ya take 12 of them you can feel something LOL. So a script for 30 last 2 days.

Anyway, I"m rambling again. Sorry, sometimes i just go off on a subject.

xannie tolerance blows french fries.

[Diener]

Short fat and yellow, just like my school bus.

I like Xanax :)

[Fillthee]

I think that also. Someone told me the yellows are time released but I did a quick search and didn't find anything on them being time release.

[SurfRat]

I think those things are cool to look at, the xannie bars.



Buspar is stupid shit, I hope it does something good for somebody, but I never heard of it doing anything for anybody.

[jonny-5]

seriously i could totally use some rite now. i fucking hate the waiting period between last heroin dose and first bupe dose.

The PUREPAC logo isn't an 'R': it's a 'P' with a rather large 'dot' following it. Note that the bit you interpret as the stroke which distinguishes capital r from capital p doesn't actually connect. I thought that PUREPAC was actually a subsidiary or at the least affiliated with ALPHARMA, not AVENTIS. Goddammit woud you believe a friend is looking over my shoulder and tells me that 'AVENTIS', also responsible for the wonderful diazepam brand STESOLID, is practically the same company as ALPHARMA? Apparently they just use different names for different products in different countries. Here in the UK for example, I would say that Alpharma, who have practically taken over two of the other biggest generic manufacturers, APS and Cox, are responsible for about a third of ALL prescribed medicines! YES - they ARE that big a company (anyone out there into their stocks and shares, take note. My levothyroxine is ALWAYS dispensed with the Alpharma product. Another company I think they have an interest in is ALMUS. Well over half of the diazepam dispensed here is by one or other of this group. In fact I would say they were responsible for most of the benzodiazepines circulating in the United Kingdom. Certainly my last scripts for nitrazepam, oxazepam, and lorazepam have been Alpharma made or linked. Here in the UK we have not been able to get MANY 'branded' products now for almost 20 years. Roche products are almost as rare as Crumple-horned Snorkacks except those still under patent; VALIUM has not been available since about 1985, perhaps earlier. Yet my current alprazolam script is invariably filled by the Upjohn/Pfizer/Pharmacia brand, XANAX. And I know for a fact that there is a non-proprietary version of alprazolam available to pharmacists which MUST be cheaper, so why fill with XANAX, which isn't even the best brand on the market? There are better European brands like KSALOL, (VERY strong but very tiny sky-blue round, bevelled tablets; my particular favourite 1mg brand), KHELEKS, CALMAX (Ireland only), XANOR (v. common), TAFIL, (I think they are just upjohn/Pfizer Xanax with another name), ALPROX, and the legendary Spanish TRANKIMAZIN which could be dispensed - many drugs here are imported, like my Inderal-LA which originates in Portugal. At least it's the REAL XANAX, still marked 'UPJOHN 55' on the 500mcg tabs, ('29=250mcg, 90=1mg and U94=2mg white bars) even though the company has more or less merged with Pfizer to form the new Pharmacia, the name that appears on the blister foil.
You know, I came to this thread to post something entirely different but couldn't help noticing the Purepac post. Now there's a 2mg generic I would just LOVE to try; I have heard from an American friend that they are a particularly good generic alprazolam, especially the 2mg version which was described to me as 'much better and smoother than the branded Upjohn 94s, and having been prescribed alprazolam for as long as myself, would appreciate a "change of scenery", but can't find anywhere that offers these '039' yellow bars on the web - ANYWHERE! But of course there MUST be a source somewhere, I just haven't found it. And if it's associated with Alpharma, you can be assured that the generic quality is of the highest order. As I said, the sheer amount of drugs dispensed which originate from that company (and the linked companies) and their superior quality for generics, like in the US, Greenstone are practically Upjohn/Pfizer in disguise, is immense and of the very best.
Anyway I will leave it at that but if anybody knows anything I have expressed as a 'gap' in my knowledge of these products or their sources, then don't hesitate to educate me!
Yours with my customary Love and Peace:)

PS I remember that one thing I was going to ask was: does anybody have an image of the South African Aspen product, 30mg oxazepam brand-name PURATA? It's one thing I have missing from my imge database. Also from the same company, PAX brand diazepam? Seeing that it is impossible to get any meds through UK Customs from South Africa any more, I can't even make a small order from a website to take the necessary photographs. However, I DID manage to find some of the Iranian SOBHAN DAROU generic diazepam in their blister pack (20 tabs per blister and they are as tiny as Ksalol alps!) so you can stop looking for them now! And many thanks to all members who have helped me out in one way or another over the past while. I really do appreciate your assistance. And in one or two cases, your generosity. Mucho appreciato. Opiophile folks really can come up with the goods when it's required. I love you all! GA xxx

[WarmCyanide]

damn good write up, gaucho. i also like the steely dan album of the same name.

[xxanxx]

Jesus I'm high. For a second there I thought you were either calling me stupid and saying that I need help or asking me for help. Methinks I'm the stupid one lol....:D

[gauchoamigo]

yea that's what i thought i liked the white ones better dunno but they knocked me out more

But there are so many white 2mg alprazolam tablets of all shapes and sizes; one bar-shaped one that is absolute garbage though is Bago's TRANQUINAL, an Ecuadorian brand marked 'TRA2' but probably the very worst brand of alprazolam I have ever had the misfortune to try. It is generally agreed that South American alprazolam, especially Argentinian, is the finest quality in the world. It is not often I can use them because nothing gets past UK Customs from there any more, but I can mention Gador's ALPLAX, which is by far and away the best 2mg white bar available, Craveri's ANSIELIX-2, and the green oval/oblong 2mg generic by DENVER PHARMA, al of which are vastly superior to the Upjohn/Pfizer/Pharmacia XANAX brand, and a lot cheaper to boot. May I also say that Roche products made in Argentina are probably their best? I use bromazepam for DURING panic attacks due to their amazingly fast action and the couple of hours of supreme sedation they afford the unlucky person who suffers as badly as myself; in Europe, the finest 6mg tablet is the Alkaloid/Roche Licenced LEXILIUM; the only actual Roche branded bromazepam which compares is the LEXOTANIL 6mg made in Roche's BA facility. They really are excellent. I believe I have an image. Of both.
your friend from Haggisland,
GA, amigo.
NB: Top: Alkaloid/Roche 6mg LEXILIUM; Left: Gador 2mg ALPLAX; Right: Roche 6mg LEXOTANIL.

Cyan,
May I give you my warmest thanks for your comment. I must return the compliment and say that I do enjoy your contributions to the site a lot. You know, there are a lot of people around who are just so helpful in so many ways. Many though could post a lot more, and here I am thinking primarily of myself, who reads too much and doesn't share as much as I really should. Especially when there are subjects under discussion of which I have the necessary knowledge to contribute some very enlightening stuff, but for some reason, don't get around to it. Perhaps I should resolve to go through the board and spend a couple of hours giving replies that I know to be accurate and interesting, and which I can express in a way that anyone can understand.
And why not?
That's what a forum is FOR, is it not?
I therefore resolve to post more and to challenge some things I know to be wrong that are still up here, waiting to be put right!
With Love and Peace,
GA your Amigo indeed.
;) I too like the Steely Dan album referred to. God, they were damned good in their time,and have never dated, have they? Great stuff. AJA to everyone!

I REALLY DO APOLOGISE FOR THE OVER-LONG QUOTE OF MY OWN POST, but I couldn't work out how to quote only the relevant parts...

However, matters arising:
Firstly, I was meaning ACTAVIS, not AVENTIS - a slip of the tong (forget that) slip of the brain, more like. Those are two completely separate companies/groups there. It is ACTAVIS who are responsible for most of the STESOLID brand diazepam, and of whom PUREPAC is a subsidiary.
Next: I have now managed to obtain images of the PURATA brand oxazepam, though only of the 30mg strength. It may be of interest to readers to know that 30mg is twice the strength of the highest dose tablet of oxazepam (15mg) that has ever been available in the UK, where the brands SERENID and SERENID-D have always been most prescribed and dispensed; now, however, only a non-proprietary brand (generic) oxazepam is available, SERENID, SERAX and SEREPAX having been deleted from the BNF (British National Formulary) which is an approximate equivalent to the USA's PDR (Physicians' Desk Reference) except the word of the BNF is absolute law as regards what brands of what drug may be prescribed.
Further: I have also made images of the tiny Iranian generic diaepam by SOBHAN DAROU; I have submitted them both to the best-known pill-identification resource on the net, www.pharmer.org (http://www.pharmer.org). That is probably the best starting place for ANYBODY who wishes to identify a pill; the database of images is pretty massive.
FINALLY: The rest of the post still stands and as such, I have checked it for accuracy and it is as accurate as you could wish for.
STILL this writer has been unable to locate a source for the yellow Purepac 039 bars of 2mg alprazolam. Neither has he yet found a source for hydrocodone, either 15/80mg or 10/325mg. Not a single US site (hydrocodone, apart from the German pure tablets, is a US-only drug; it is not available in the rest of the world, except from US Pharmacies.) will ship this drug to the UK; over-priced as it is for such a relatively weak narcotic analgesic, (being about twice the strength of dihydrocodeine) it just happens to be of the right strength, if one were to take 3 or 4 tablets, for breakthrough pain from a prescription I have for OxyContin 40mg - THAT certainly does NOT last for the 12 hours claimed on the box; pain starts inevitably to return after about eight hours when my arthritis is pretty bad, which is OFTEN.
So if anyone knows of a legit source for either of these products, please let us know and I'll check out the relevant site(s) to see whether they are priced for someone who really needs them - they are likely to have to exist on disability benefits, and whether they are a site that can be trusted to deliver. The OP industry has certainly been the largest-growing market for scammers over the past year or two; but I have another post which deals with that issue.
Customarily, I will end by offering you all my love and peace, and wishing you all a pain and anxiety-free night,
Your Gaucho. xxx :)

[SpecialGuy69]

Gaucho- Wow. I didn't realize there were so many intricacies to the european generic- benzo market. Or such a wide variation in product quality. Is it mostly a difference in STRENGTH, or do some pills feel BETTER (but equally strong)?

In the US, a generic does not have its own name- so actavis 30mg roxicodone is known as actavis roxicodone, and ethex roxi is known as ethex roxicodone. But in the US, 99% of people only care about differences in generics in opiates, not benzos.

I get xanax 1mg, and either fill name brand, or generic blue footballs, or generic blue discs, all scored and blank on the back. I'm too lazy to lean over and look at the imprints.
