is there any difference between the name brand xanax bars  (that are  long, slender and the same size as the generics) and the newer xanax bars that i have recently seen. they are also name brand reading "xanax" but they are stubby and fat. instead of the thin and long, like the ones that i have always known.  i don't have my camera to take a picture right now. i was just wondering if these were simply a new style?

The ones that say Xanax are

The ones that say Xanax are simply the name brand by upjohn, the others are generic versions of the same pill.  All 2 mg if they are four scored

In the common imprint

In the common imprint section it says xanax is made by pfizer. Yet above it is stated it is made by upjohn...can anyone clarify this?

i know that name brand xanax

i know that name brand xanax bars are made by pfizer, but what i'm saying is that the normal ones i've known are longer and of course say xanax on them. i recently came across these "newer" name brand xanax bars that are stubbier and fatter. they are not as rectangular or long as the ones i'm used to seeing. all i'm asking is if pfizer has slightly changed their style of xanax bars? these bars are more compact and the letters "X-A-N-A-X" are not as spread out as much as the other name brand bars. i thought maybe they could be fakes or something...

Well i cant compared the two

Well i cant compare the two different Xanax brand bars you are talking about but I know that greenstone pharms produces a bar wit numbers G3722 IIRC and greenstone is a division of pfizer so it is a generic by the same company yet the g3722 is more narrow and longer than the Xanax 2 I have seen. So it could be very possible that they have two versions of the Xanax2's because the same parent company makes two different styles of bars although one is generic yet still from a subsidary of pfizer

 According to the FDA there

 According to the FDA there hasnt been a "manufacturing change or addition" since 09/30/1993. Maybe your memory is failing you and they just seem to be a little bit off in size. If you have one of each, take a picture if you can so we can see the difference in size. Also, why do you guys keep bringing up different generic versions, the OP has said several times that it is a name brand tablet and has giving the descritption that both tablets have the same imprints. (XANAX2) So when you can take a pic.

There are also ROUND 2mg

There are also ROUND 2mg Xanax. Can be split into fours, like the bars... The round ones have and X on the back so that they can be broken into separate doses.

 i'm sorry but i can't get my camera to get a good upclose picture to see the lettering. you can see that they are stubbier, maybe it's just me, but i totally believe that they are different in shape. now that i know how to upload pics i can add another one if you guys would like me to.this is the best picture i could get: i'm sorry but i can't get my camera to get a good upclose picture to see the lettering. you can see that they are stubbier, maybe it's just me, but i totally believe that they are different in shape. now that i know how to upload pics i can add another one if you guys would like me to.
