Roche doesn't own the xanax patent, your thinking of klonopin and valium....
however with that said, i have the new generic made by Greenstone labs, a subsidary of phizer, who owns the regular xanax and xanax xr names.....
anyone else think this is amazingly messed up that drug companies can now produce a generic of a brand name and sell it too,
i have the 1mg square yellow ones, and they are exactly like those generics OC's made by purdues subsidary....i cant think of the company but its exactly the same as a namebrand OC 80, but has 80 and two differnt letter on the other side....i forget
my Yellow ones look exactly the same as the name brand, but have a differnt imprint on 1 side, the G.
"alprazolam will be in with poly-styrene binders to perform the time release"
Do you have a source for this? I read it somewhere else on the boards, but no source....

Interesting, because that goes along perfectly with the studys I read on Xanax XR that said eating a high fat meal effected people up to 30% more, however it was interesting because half of the people had a positive effect, and half had a negative effect, this goes along with what i have read other BL say about them personally taking them with a highfat meal....
Anywho, if that is the case, would grinding them up and letting them sit in like olive oil for a few days, then put that into capsules make it IR?
I dont know chemistry at all and suck at spelling, I still dont understand why I can't find how the XR works via google....maybe i just suck at the google.
