I'll go over it one more time here! I totally feel like i'm not being listened to.
I have TALKED to my pharmicist, he has told me that I he can EASILY order either the Mylan brand again, the 'real deal' (which, yes, I acknowledged that it could be costly..but if want it I can certainly get it) or the other generic form that was mentioned earlier on this thread. Now..why would my pharmiscist tell me he can order me anyone that I want if I can't get it???? I am going there today, as a matter of fact, to get my script renewed-a different Xanax.
I live in NJ, and I would think that maybe things are law-wise different here. I don't know...I only know what my shrink and my pharmicist tell me.....
It feels to me like you are simply looking to pick an arguement with me..well you won't get one here....Kindly, actually 'read' what I write...One last time...It is VERY easy for me, from my pharmicist to obtain any of the generic, or the real deal Xanax.
GOSH...all this over generic Xanax and obtaining them! PHEW..
This is all I will post on this matter...thanks for 'listening'. Be well, and Happy Holidays.
P.L.
> The choice issue is simply not that easy. If CVS is contracted for Mylan generic you cannot then get greestone generic or geneva generic unless you can find a drug store that is contracted to carry that brand. As for paying for the real deal....you have to pray to God your health insurance will accept a DAW script from your pdoc and many don't thereby forcing you to pay for the full script if you want the real deal and not just the deductible. So the decision isn't really yours.....if your on a budget. I don't know where you live but in Michigan all of the big chain drugstores in the metro area all have switched to Mylan you could not get geneva or greenstone even special order....I tried. The only special order item you can get is Xanax or the original and some pharmacies won't even do that for you....I also checked into that. When I took my new script DAW for xanax I had more than one store try to once again give me Mylan and would not special order the Xanax because they simlpy don't moove enough of it. Most don't even have regular xanax in stock. I had one phamacist tell me to go to the hospital pharmacy that was my best bet. So I pray to God your area does not end up like it is here. If the Mylan works for you don't change it....if it ain't broke don't fix it............Good Luck,
