I order from many legit sources; along with a script I'm prescribed. IME it's a rather bitter tasting chemical. I recently got some 1mg footballs that seem rather large in size and when I chew on them I get very little bitter taste. My prescribed .50mg taste worse. I have no reason to question the source, but the batch itself. Am I wrong about the taste?

I am very very relaxed atm on 20mg (but I feel these aren't truly 1mg pills).

I also ask because these are SO much cheaper than my real script and soon my insurance restarts and I gotta spend $5000 worth of medical bills before I get free scripts.
 
There are lots of sketchy meds out on the internet that do have the correct active ingredients(not sure if you get them on internet, btw), but who knows how much or what else might be in them. If they are larger than should be, they sound like counterfeit. Which doesn't necessarily mean they are chalk pills, but fakes and made with less quality and probably less active ingredient.

No one can really give you a definitive word without a lab testing the pills, but if they seem off then they might be. How do you know the source is so legit, anyway?
 
20mg is a pretty large dose even for someone that's tolerant.

We're not allowed to speculate on what you might have in some mystery pill here, if you really want to know send them off for testing at a place like pill reports. It'll cost you $150 or so.

Since you have a prescription I suggest just sticking to that.

My apologies. Not trying to identify a pill. Simply put should Alp taste bitter?
 
yeah alprazolam tastes bitter, then the pills can taste any way due to binders and fillers, I have this sublingual Alprazolam 0,5mgs that are given in hospital for panic attacks, or for people with no benzo tolerance for fear of flying and they taste like minty-saccharine kinda like clonazepam....funny you mention insurance lol with my clinical history (screwed by genes and by choice) all the drugs I'm scripted and insurance cost and not being able to find the right psychiatrist made me leave America....well that and my wife leaving me and not being helpful at all, actually being hurtful...and how I was living in the most expensive city in America where having 2 jobs didn't guarantee shit financially to me, I was depressed, I hadn't done H in years, was on bupoe but knew how to cop H (which makes me feel so strong and proud I didn't), and if I got hit by a car and didn't had insurance (had a year of insurance and abused it :P still have enough lean (codeine/promethazine) syrup bottles it looks like I was a mainstream rapper, sup with that when you can get OXY/h? Damn I bet you could get Codeine in a less disgusting form......well at least it's not krokodil, but I guess ou could make some outta it).
Well I tried getting insurance, first at the most reputable places/thru my wife's university/using the I'm foreign and come from a place where health is provided for free and is awesome, but I hate everywhere I live.... The way I was labeled as a druggie for being scripted bupe and benzos, most of the times not even by dr.'s but by black overweight women with anger issues that couldn't understand how a cracker like me had such a weird life story....and the attitude of we're Politically Correct but We;re the coolest, and seeing hiow fucktards behave in every part of brooklyn from the ghettos where you cop to the hipster parts that look like graffitied landfills from East Berlin and properties are thousands of dollars a square foot...I ended up living in South Bronx and looking at the cheapest insurance plans, damn I even spoke in spanish at the last one I went and basically they said they could cover some things but not all since they were not technically an insurance company, but a medical aid company nor whatever and that they worked mostly for construction workers without visas/with short work visas....and that they didn't allow buprenorphine or any kind of maintenance....I looked up on SAMSHA, Went and talked with Doctors at Columbia Uni, and basically I was fucked cause I came as a buprenorphine patient...so I had to get a private doctor that scripted bupe and pay for it and get no co-pay and they were gonna lower my benzos,lyrica,zolpidem....so basically once my 1year supply was out I had to quit all my meds (irony is I quit bupe) or start having to pay a shitload.....I did everything the right and legal way, and I saw all these illegals that didn't even care about having insurance, thought they were never gonna have an accident, etc... and they had it so much easier... damn, I've been and lived in America a lot, mostly from 2003 onwards.....and really my last time in NY/NJ was tough, and I love NE USA with all my heart.....but it was really depressing seeing what the land of the free and home of the brave became....basically if you are a retard and do things wrong and claim ignorance and look foreign it's all cool, if you do all legally, want to work legally, fill out all the legal paperwork, work legally, pay your taxes, get insurance, become a citizen the legal way, it's frustrating.....what a shame...the whole insurance thing made me remember.....I paid $4 for some scripts and $200 for others, sometimes doctors wouldn't come to my place saying the area wasn't safe at night...anyway I know for a fact in many countries generic meds have way less active ingredient than they say it does, damn the machinery they use to make those pills are probably old and faulty and the alprazolam powder might not be dosed correctly...benzos are so common and cheap to mass produce I don't think they are bunk but just generic low dose...white privilege, lol...things have changed a lot...sadly for the worse imo, and our generation will be the one most affected by the shock...next time up there I might change my mind, but I just see a general dumbing down, and the younger generation being brainwashed by anti american pseudo marxists at universities, and trash elsewhere, and immigrants doing the work if they are ethnic enough, but if they look/sound local, especially in NY, that's so not cool...such a racist society that it's gonna self destroy with political correctness due to it's obsession with race...I thank the commies for keeping the world bipolar.....nowadays the stress is unbearable....and i know I'm right.....you might think whatever you want, that I'm a conservative racist extremist ignorant....but those are all things I'm really not and that you americans are subconsciously sucking up due to unnecessary guilt.....if so like all germans should be executed following the same logic...Respect, Amor De Rey!!! (I'd lock all gang bangers, though I reckon it's a good tool to keep radical islam pout of prison, then again your private prison system, and Islam especially in Europe, and the UN shaping the world of the future more antisemitic than in the 70s and when they are not blaming Isreal (21 sanctions in a year, whilst no other country got more than 4 last year) Naming south sudan as vice-president of the commerce/biz dept. whatever it's called, the Syria affair that since the freaking powerful Ba'th party (the same party that Saddam Hussein, but Shia.....Monser Al-Kasser was my personal Osama Bin Laden Way before 9/11.....I lived as a kid in a country where the first islamic bombings in America happened, against jewish targets, all organized by the Ba'th Syrian Party and their Peronist counterparts there....ppl still claim loyalty to him here and what a hero he was......he was a gun trader, created wars, ran the customs without speaking the local language and used it as a gun trafficking hub, damn I got soooooooo happy when the DEA got him for gun trafficking about 6 years ago!!!!! Happier than when Chavez died cause he screwed it all anyway....demography can be so crazy and unpredictable at times, and clear and predictable at others.....rant I rant, but this be my fav forum, and I find your political bias to be much more tolerant than in non-druggie sites, so well how do you do to make enough money to not live comfortably but pay for insurance and meds, when you are on your late 20s early 30s, out of college or without a college title....I find online trading in a 3rd world totalitarian but non muslim country to be the best for me or I was gonna do myself, most likely accidentally and then leave a debt of 6 figures...:(
 
20mg!??? Damn even when I was scripted 12mg of Clonazepam 40mg of Diazepam 15mg Midazolam and 10-20mg Zolpidem the most I did was 10-12mg of alprazolam and spaced out, and If I drank.....mass blackout, sometimes I ended up locked up for shit I don't remember...damn where I'm right now I can get any benzo I want legally, but corruption is so rampant that I know all these shady farmacias that sell them bu the blister for peanuts, so even though I try to get all brand name and legal sometimes if nearby one of the Farmacias I know I go for some blisters of generic ultra cheap benzos, and you'd be amazed at how much potency varies, sometimes the diazepam from the cheapest lab tastes better and has a faster onset/more noticeable effect than the Roche Valium, and sometimes the 2,5mg Lorazepam feels just like 1mg.....I've been to some of the labs myself, they are old, don't pay patents since they do generics and it';s such a corrupt country, there are a couple big local labs that are known worldwide....if I say Alplax you probably know what I'm talking about, but that's a reputable laboratory that imports and actually the pharmacy price is the same than for Upjohn imported Xanax though they are made down here they look like nannie bars and have a bigger reputation...same with many other drugs with expired patents....but benzos it's amazing, it's the country in the world with the highest per capita benzo scripts, and you don't even need to be scripted to get them, it's really common to see 60 year old males menacingly saying to a pharmacist "gimme a box of valium/alplax/whatever and I'll bring you the script another time' and if they know you at the farmacia you just ask by name....I know it's the same in the worse parts of Europe....but benzos aren't really popular here, Cocaine is the king, and coke users find the idea of taking a medicine for the comedown "dirty/dangerous/what is it gonna do to me' they never question cocaine like that.....user demographics... I haven't met a menopausic women with a university diploma here that is not scripted benzos.....and yeh brands taste different, bromazepam from Roche (lexotanil) dissolves like a paste, sorta like loperamide in your mouth, whilst other labs make it with better texture and slightly less taste....still you can blindfold me and gimme benzos and I'll name youi exactly what benzo is, last time I did I scored a 100%...IMO the best tasting one is Roche Rohypnol.......They are candy, girls love candy from strangers (joke)
 
20 mg is a whopping dose. If I took that it'd be blackout city, possibly death city considering I am taking Suboxone.

Is 20 mg a standard dose for you OP? Or is that more than you usually have to take.

Also just want to say, unless these pills are coming form a pharmacy as part of the doses you are actually prescribed, then you can't be overly confident about the product you are getting.

I've taken 20mg of the ones I'm prescribed. I take a whole box of Etizolam in one night (100mg). I often taken 10+ Kpins. I have been on them for 7+ years and have a high tolerance.

Seems to me people who OD on Alps have little to no tolerance. People get barred out on .25mg. I used to. Now it just calms me and slightly makes me aloof.

Thanks for your input. I found my answer and then some ;)

Yeah I wouldn't trust some random shit I ordered online. Not for a second. Who the hell knows what they put in there.

Folks I deal with have them sent to ecstasydata for testing. While I do agree 90% of online sources are SHITE; however if you take the time you can will find amazing quality.

Apologies then.

Yes alprazolam always has that bitter bite to it IME. However I have had legit prescription generics of it that tasted less bitter than the usual blue footballs and white bars. It was still there but not nearly as pronounced, and the pills were crumbly when compared to the usual ones I see everywhere. These were also not scored on either one or both sides and came in a different color than I was used to (green = 1mg instead of the usual blue).

Since you're dealing with pills of an unknown origin it'd be hard to say if they are real xanax or any number of other things that mimic the effects of it.

Good. So at least you know what you are getting then. But if you have a legit script for them, why do you need to buy more online? Risk getting in trouble, or bad product, etc.
 
IME, they're all bitter, nasty little buggers. I tried a 0.25 (Rxed) that wasn't AS bitter, but it was mostly filler. Still stunk to high heaven though; you get hit upside face with the "oh that's xanax, freakin poison-tasting stuff." But just IME. You can't hide that yuck.
 
Nah, not IME. I've had pure alprazolam powder and even that was quite tasty, of course pills often have a layer with sweeteners so letting those dissolve under the tongue is even better. I guess benzo's don't fit in the bitter receptor proteins of my tongue...
 
very good chance that the pills are a mix of alprazolam and colonzepam, my guess would be 20:80 Alp:Col ratio if they're not as bitter.
