    are they just as strong such as xanax and loraprazam(sp). because i can get a bar of xanys for like 4 buks and then i can get generics for way cheaper. thanks for the help

    culd it just be some fillers are more expensive than others

    They're supposed to be but
    the generic blue/ green 10mg diazepam aren't as
    'strong' as the generic blue ones.
    Haven't noticed any diff in the blue generics and brand Valium.

    Course most of the stores round here
    only have the cheaper blue/ green ones.

    Script price #120 10mg
    $ 21. generic diazepam
    $ 387. brand Valium

    No typos - brand is 18.5 times the price of generic...

    Usually generic alprazolams are just as good as the Xanax brand. Even if they're a little weaker, the price makes up for it and you can get more pills for the same price and maybe end up getting even more fucked up. I've never tried Lorazepam, generic or name-brand, so I don't know anything about those.

    Yes even though they are made by different companies the drug itself should be the same in its effects as far as i am aware. For instance you can buy say neurofen for quite a high price (2 to 4 pounds) compared to the brufen (EXACTLY SAME ingredients) from tescos own brand for like 30 pence!!!!!!! They have exactly the same effect though. I used to have a pupil who was a pharmacist and we discussed such things as different 'brands' being different strengths etc.

    a drug is a drug is a drug. it doesnt matter the brand. the only difference that will make is concerning the rate of action, some pills dissolve faster than others in your stomach.

    StonerBill, you mean things such as lets take something 'normal' Brufen. You can get it cheapest in normal tab form. then capsules then the liquid tablet form is more expensive due to it being absorbed far quicker(it def speeds up onset of action hence why i pay more for them)? Or dispersable tablets etc.

    in any case, i chew my xany's whether they be generic or not. taste awful but twenty seconds of taste is worth hours of effect.
