So Mylan stopped a drug I take Alprazolam 2mg er. My Doctor ordered another brand and it didn't work. Attempting to find relief I asked my Doctor and the pharmacist as CVS and RITE AID to help. Now I had a full prescription and by law couldn't be given any more. After , once again doing some digging I found that the pharmacists from both and my Doctor should have told me sense I explained my situation , I should have been offered a 4 or 5 day trail alternative. If it didn't work they could then give me a different company brand. This could go on until the prescription reached its full amount. I finally doubled the amount I received of one brand and got relief on my own instinct. So with all the greed these pharmacies are looking for by selling jelly beans marked as xanaz in china and India take this advice and trust me it will save your sanity.

I am curious as to what brand you were switched to.

My generic clonzapem for myoclonus was just switched to Accord. I am not happy.

However, whenever I read reviews on the web, some people like one brand and some like another. Mylan was horrible for me but some people liked it.

The pharmacist told me they get whatever is cheapest from the wholesale company. This is the 3rd switch in a year for me.
