Benzos How to distinguish Alprazolam from Clonazepam with identical pills

[goddspeedd]

In Mexico, the generic versions of Clonazepam and Alprazolam from Psicofarma look exactly the same. I read older posts regarding these pills and there is no way to visually distinguish between them. Would it be possible to identify which of the 2 benzodiazepines it is based on taste or some other factor?

Here is a link that shows the pill in question: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Unkown.jpg

While the link I posted mentions Clonazepam 2mg, the version for Alprazolam 1mg and 2mg looks identical, what's the best way to identify these pills?

Taste would do it. Xanax tastes fucking awful while klonopin tastes nice and minty

Alprazolam has a very distinct and very strong bitterness (if you chew the pill). I remember it as fondly as the taste of cocaine.

These are extremely bitter so it's gotta be Alp. Is Clonazepam always sweet?

it is tasteless I think, the sweetness is from the pill filler which is stuff like cellulose and dextrose, stuff that makes the pill solid and easily digestible

I've clonazepam from my prescription that was not sweet - but it definitely was not bitter the way alp will be. It wasn't bitter at all.

Alprazolam tests blue using zimmerman reagent while clonazepam tests yellow brown.

Clonazepam has very prominent anticonvulsant properties

Alprazolam has slightly more euphoric (dopamine release) and antidepressants (mood-boosting) properties

I was completely unaware benzos could be distinguished with a common reagent. For some reason I was always under the impression they don't react with any comment reagents.

I cannot tell the difference between alprazolam and clonazepam by taste, they both taste pretty neutral. People saying it's bitter is because the pill they took has a bitter binding or filing agent in it, many pills do and list them in the patient information leaflet.

Perhaps the effects lol

Alprazolam causes a significant increase in dopamine as compared to Lorazepam
Also a potent anxiolytic with antidepressant properties…perhaps more pleasurable. Probably why it’s the most abused benzodiazepine in the USA

Clonazepam has very potent anticonvulsant/sedative properties in addition to anxiolytic. I did find Klonopin very relaxing and effective 2mg is a solid freaking dose….as is a 2mg Xanax bar
