That is sooo not true! Look up the picture for the original ones and they are the same size as what you claim are the "bigger" ones. It has even been noted on the pharmer website as well. The fake ones are smaller, and are shinier than normal bars. They do contain some form of benzo in it though, however it has not been scheduled yet in the US. People take the fakes and beleive them to be true alprazolam because they have some other form of benzo in it, but it just isn't the same.
The first time I ever saw one of those small shiny ones, a little over a year ago, I immediately thought something was wrong. They just did not look right. I compared them to my original GG249s and the others, and noticed the difference in size. Not to mention the fact after I took it I felt some anxiety relief but NOTHING like a normal bar. Plus they do not taste the same. I am one of those that actually LIKES the taste of xanax, and when i chew the small shiny ones, it just doesn't have that taste I have always loved.
I've been taking xanax in all it's forms for a little over 8 years now. I'm not claiming to be a doctor or pharmacist or anything....but with that much experience, you and I am sure everyone here knows, we become experts on our drug of choice. I actually got a few of those fakes on thursday. Since I do not have a script, I get them from people I know, and while I was very upset that I knew they were not legitimate, they do have a calming effect so I said fuck it and got them anyway.
But beware of those ones!
