Hello, came across a oval ( football shaped ) white pill with XanaX 2.0 on the front and scored twice ( to make three sections ) anyone know if this in legit ?
Thanks,

Xanax 2 mg
Yes, Pfizer (Pharmacia Upjohn) makes 2 mg Xanax.
Traditionally the 2 mg has always been a rectangular shape:

But changes are possible. So it's possible your Xanax is real and not fake. Only time - and research - will tell. We'll do our best to ID your pill. Thanks for the nice image.

Interesting in a few ways.
Interesting in a few ways. They already have a white Xanax pill ( .25mg ) and also interesting is that it is scored to make 3 doses of .66mg each which you would think might throw a doctor off in prescribing this particular pill.
One more thing, the pill is bigger than the .5 mg Xanax
IF a fake, a pretty elaborate one !

My thoughts are that if it
My thoughts are that if it is indeed alprazolam than it is a foreign generic because as Kirby said the US produced xanax almost always follow the rectangular bar design for the 2mg ones except for mylan which is a circle not a football shape. Also as stated above it is tri-segmented not quad-segmented like every other 2mg US produced alprazolam pill. so it is my opinion that it is a foreign generic or a fake. The only foreign 2mg i have seen are the rectangular ones from argentina that say Alp on them which I think go under the trade name alprax.

Yes they are real
they come from some where overseas. I have had this before... Dont think they are real. they do have some effect but dont think it is real xanax. dont take them I have taken xanax for 8 years its totally different then anything I took.

This is either a fake or has
This is either a fake or has been imported from somewhere overseas (probably asia). Most european and south american pharm companies follow the U.S. pattern of Quad scored *bar* 2mg alprazolam with the exception of the circular design. To my knowledge there are *NO* legitimate tri segmented alprazolam formulations on the market anywhere in the world. Keep in mind it is not that hard (relatively) to make or obtain a pill press and press pills into whatever shape you want (if you are making fake drugs, getting a pill press with whatever you want on it is the easy part).

RE: DAVA Aplrazolam 2mg Bars
This Dava tri-segmented bar may be a legitimate formulation of Alprazolam. I must stress though that only a *BAR* can be properly scored in this fassion. The oval "football" tablets would not be equivalent doses when scored more than once anywhere other than across the symmetrical plane of the tablet, and therefore would not be medically efficient in that each delivered dose would be significantly different from the previous. Uneven dosing due to tablet design is usually either against regulations or law depending on where the medication originates from and is prescribed / dispensed.

Pretty much correct
Pretty much correct regarding education. My first degree was a Bachelors of Science with a concentration in Biology. Subsequently I obtained a Masters in Anesthesiology as part of a Registered Anesthetist / Anesthesia Care program. I used this license as a source of income working both inpatient anesthesia care and freelance prior to, and then while working on a PharmD (Pharmacy). I was incompletely satisfied with a PharmD career, but was lucky enough to be able to enter what some call an allopathic program (granting an MD on completion) which I chose due to my fascination for the diagnostic process. I am currently working through residency for my MD. Hope that helps. I certainly don't want to step on any toes, so if there are any other physicians, pharmacists, or other healthcare practitioners around, please pardon what I have been told may at times seem like abrasive prose. Following a history of chronic pain and dysthymia, I have acquired a significantly flattened affect which is sometimes noticable even in my writing...

Although I agree with
Although I agree with everyone else about the OP's Xanax being a fake, I do however disagree with Xtrasystole about a tri-scored oval convex tablet like the one pictured not being able to deliver an even dose. The middle segment is more narrow than the outer segments to make up for that section being fatter. So in theory the tablet could be split into three 0.66mg sections.
June 18, 2008 - 7:45pm
#17
Solo you make a very valid
Solo you make a very valid point. I just wish the picture wasn't glared a little bit so we could actually see in better detail if in fact it is narrower in the middle segment. It is a little hard to see in the picture but if the middle is in fact narrower then you are right and it could very well still be even .666mg segments
June 18, 2008 - 7:54pm

Splitting
Solo,
Splitting pills *never* creates a symmetric dose, regardless of the scoring and shape (but with asymmetric tablets like an ovoid this is extremely important). In properly scored tablets, a split tab can *roughly* deliver an even dose (margin of error up to 20% or more if not carefully done). These tabs are complex three dimensional shapes, however, and "two fat ends and a narrow center" does not mean the dosing is even. In fact it is very possible that the tab was manufactured poorly (which I would say it was due to the scoring). In improperly pressed tabs, sometimes a majority of the pharmaceutical can precipitate in a certain area of the tablet (the center, for instance). If there is uneven distribution of the pharaceutical throughout the tab, you can not accurately dose.
Aside from all of that, splitting oral meds is just bad practice. It is done sometimes to help save patients money, or to allow for partial dosing, but it is not considered accurate even then. Alprazolam is designed for 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1.0mg, and 2.0mg dosing, as well as any 0.25mg intervals in between or 0.125mg if splitting a 0.25mg tab, which is rarely recommended. No pharmaceutical company would produce a tablet that creates a non-standard dosing form which has not been approved by the FDA.
"In theory" a lot of things are true, but in real world medical practice, it just doesn't work like that...
Remember the point is to evaluate the legitimacy of the tab. Due to the reasons previously mentioned, there is almost no chance a legit pharm company would produce a tab in this way. There are very strict regulations regarding how medications can be formulated and what dose units are accepted. This is not a generally acceptable dose unit.

"No pharmaceutical company
"No pharmaceutical company would produce a tablet that creates a non-standard dosing form which has not been approved by the FDA."
your forgetting that this is most likely a foreign pill and in no way does it have to follow FDA regulations or the standard USA dosing intervals. Just because it is not a "generally acceptable dose unit" in america doesn't mean some small pharmacist in india isn't making irregular doses.
Yes splitting pills arn't entirely accurate but if it is a US pill and is broken evenly on the score line it will be close enough. I dont see how there could be more active ingredient in one end because as far as i knew they mixed the active ingredient with all the fillers and binders and then put it in the pill press. As long as everything was mixed evenly there shouldn't be much variation in a US pill at least foregin pills are a different story as they dont have an FDA to govern their pill making process.
I still agree with you that this is most likely a fake though.

All the other stuff you
All the other stuff you said aside, if there are score lines on a tablet they are generally considered safe for splitting because Im pretty sure they are required to be homogenous if they have a score in them for splitting. You are right your not going to get an "exact" dosage but the few mcg's that a cleanly split tab is going to be off usually wont matter.
Heres something to think about requarding
"No pharmaceutical company would produce a tablet that creates a non-standard dosing form which has not been approved by the FDA."
Yocon Talbets 5.4mg manufactured by Palisades have a score line on it so it can be divided in half resulting in roughly a 2.7mg dosage. Doesnt seem very "even" to me. Unless you are referring to more than one number after the decimal. But that wouldnt make sense since:
Levoxine and Synthroid comes in 0.088mg,0.112mg,0.3mg and a few others and these tablets also have a score line.
All this typing for nothing, it seems I misread your last post Xstraystrole. Its quit obvious that a US pharma company isnt going to just up and start producing tablets in strengths that arent approved. I dont think it was ever an assumption that these tablets wouldve been from the US.

Dosing
No worries. Hopefully my posts are taken as intelligent discussion among peers who share an interest as opposed to being just contradictory or argumentative. I just like good discussion as it promotes the sharing of knowledge.
As for other medications, sure there are an infinite number of possible dosing schemes that are available depending on the medication. I was pointing out that Alprazolam is not generally used in dose increments other than those which I listed. Other medications are another story, and you will certainly see variation. Clonidine for instance is usually dosed in the mcg especially in childeren (microgram as opposed to milligram), or in 0.1mg increments. Another is Levothroid (since you mentioned Synthroid - both are Levothyroxine), which you correctly point out is commonly dispensed in 88mcg units (as well as 112mcg, 175mcg, and many others) and many of these tabs are scored. For these medications, those *are* approved dosing units. The list goes on (both medications as well as their various dosing regimens), but doesn't include Alprazolam (other than in the 0.25mg dose increments). Parenteral medications are even many times titrated not to a certain dose, but for desired effect instead (cardiac drips are often titrated to parameters such as a systolic of 100 - rather than ordering a dosed strength the practitioner is trying to reach a particular result without regard to the dose that leads there). Again, it depends on the medication and how it is being used. I obviously don't mean to imply that *all* medications are available only in 0.25mg increments. And I just meant to point out that splitting tabs inherently leads to uneven dosing, especially when the segments are not symmetrical. Look at a Levothyroxine tab (or legitimate Xanax, Vicodin, anything) - the scoring is through a plane of symmetry to allow for some degree of control in dose.
Either way, I think as others have said in response to the OP - it is unlikely at best that this is actually Alprazolam (although it may be some form of hypnotic, other benzodiazepine, or just about anything). If there is any psychoactive component contained inside it is probably racemic or even adultered at best, or just plain toxic at worst...

Very nice work on the tab,
Very nice work on the tab, Solo. I must say that I have never seen Buspar scored like that (although there are similar designs for Buspar 15mg which look like the Alprazolam 2mg bars which are scored in the center, as well as on either side to allow for dosing in halves or thirds). The theory is halves are 7.5mg doses and thirds are 5mg doses obviously. Important to note that they are not intended to be split along all three scores at once using each as a dose (the center two sections would be ~2.5mg while the outer two would be ~5.0mg). Due to this, I don't like the design of these tabs because it has the potential to confuse patients who may not realize that it can only be used as halves or thirds (or whole). But it does justify your position regarding splitting tabs into thirds which are not symmetrical.
The *fake* Xanax in question, though, is in my opinion still not correctly scored and weighted properly for dosing in thirds.

If you put a regular xanax pill in water it would dissolve right? these pills do not dissolve. They also make you feel a little sick, I don't think they break up in the body correctly.
It seems like someone attempted to counterfeit xanax, but failed.
They do have some affect that feels like a benzo it is just different.
Do not recommend these to anyone.

Solubility
No, Alprazolam (Xanax) is not soluble in water (or has no appreciable solubility in water anyway) and thus would not dissolve. The tablet would form precipitate (mostly filler) which would appear as a chalky substance in the fluid, eventually settling at the bottom of the container. Nearly all benzodiazepines are insoluble in water at physiologic pH under standard atmosphere and temperature. One notable exception is Midazolam (trade name Versed in the U.S. when in parenteral form). As an imidazobenzodiazepine, it is soluble in in somewhat acidic solutions (~pH 3-4) available for parenteral administration. This is due to the presence of an imidazole ring as opposed to a ketone at the 2 position of the nucleus. Under the above mentioned acidic conditions, the imidazole group can form an open ring structure, permitting significant solubility. Once the molecule reaches physiological pH such as when being taken into systemic circulation (entering the bloodstream), the imidazole group reverts to a closed ring structure, making it highly lipophilic (allowing high concentrations of it to be absorbed and distributed within the brain and other tissues dense with lipids).
Imidazobenzodiazepines (a group of which Midazolam is one of the only members of) are some of the only bezodiazepines with any appreciable solubility in a clinical setting (or any setting for that matter). There are other benzodiazepines which are soluble to various degrees in certain solutions provided that they are at the correct pH and temperature, but these are almost exclusively alcohols and other organic solvents (at the correct pH and temperature), not water. Both Diazepam (trade Valium) and Lorazepam (trade Ativan) are available in solution, although they are formulated in *organic solvents* this way.
All these factors considered, this is why Midazolam, Diazepam, and Lorazepam are almost exclusively the only benzodiazepines used for parenteral administration. Midazolam is extremely short acting (half life of about an hour), making it ideal for anesthesia induction and/or maintenance (rapid clearance of anesthetics is generally preferred). Propofol (an anesthetic) is also frequently used in conjunction with Midazolam for this purpose. Due to the longer half lives of Diazepam and Lorazepam (~8-24 hours give or take), these are more frequently used parenterally for the emergent treatment of epilepsy and other types of seizure disorders (circumstances in which long duration of action is usually preferred).
Long story short - no, not even real Alprazolam (Xanax) would dissolve. That is not to say that the tablet you mentioned is legitimate. Based on the effects mentioned, it is probably conterfeit. I hope this helps!

fake xanax..?
They work and having just a bit more seems to work. Some pills seem weaker though. In some SE asian countries and India it is normal to have differring dosages by mistake, some even let the ink to get low, but they cost nothing over there, even Brand name.
To the argument they are not xanax. It wouldnt make sense to not put xanax in it as you would just source xanax from a chinese supplier (for very very very dirt cheap, we're talking a litterally less than a few cents for multiple doses, on tr***k*y ive seen it go as low as $200-400 for a kilo.) before pressing any counterfeit pills. These pills may or may not be counterfeit but they are a hypnotic sedative that only lasts 2-3 hours. It does feel different at first, but is that placebo? If you had a headache and I gave you some star shaped pill you didn't like the look of and told you it was codeine and APAP would it take the headache away????
I've noticed Asian Kpins (Rivotril there and pretty much everywhere else under Roche Nicholla or whatever their name is, basically Roche) can really have varying doses from pill to pill and batch to batch.
Maybe if it IS alprozolam (would make sense, what benzo is more potent?, KG quantities of pure benzos all cost the same from china, its just a chemical in a big list they want to export) it was poorly made, or racemic as someone suggested. But I thought alprazolam is already racemic, is it R or S isomer?

australia
I thought benzos were illegal in the states, so you might be in Australia?
Ben cousins (football player) who was expelled for having a coke or meth binge then having valium to come down was pulled over and they searched his car and found ONE 5mg valium and arrested him. They later dropped any charges and (not sure if they appologised) because federally benzos (except roofies and and mixture in injectable form) are legal to possess upto the neck. you could literally be swimming in a room of them and it would be legal, although they have the right to test the substance if they want to (but write a ticket to pick it up, and are contacted (normally) is not illegal).
But recently in the state Queensland benzos were made illegal and put up a schedule unless you have your script on you in public (or bottle, label and ID) because of their abuse potential and drug trade problems. But the most reason they could give it is linked to the drug meth (very problematic in Queensland) so meth users could calm down and sleep. GREAT IDEA.. Take drugs off them that stop them from possibly going out to steal to buy more shards, or commit violent robbery acts or just violence.

Benzodiazapine's are legal
Benzodiazapine's are legal in the states, meaning you can possess them as long as you have a prescription.
If you do not have a prescription for benzodiazapine medication, and are caught with them, then yes, it is illegal.

Pardon my ignorance
Pardon my ignorance (I'm slow this morning), but I'm not sure where alprazolam would have a chiral center to make a stable R or S configuration. I'm thinking maybe someone may suggest the di-hydro carbon in the central seven membered ring has chiral character but I suspect things flip flop a lot on that carbon as well. I'm thinking that though conjugation isn't readily apparent on that carbon, things are going to get real "slippery" there if one starts looking at it from a quantum mechanics perspective. Those hydrogens are ready to pop off and back on. A salt form (solid) would be more stable but in solution during manufacture is a different story. But then once this is in the body it's in solution again. Literature does say benzo's react at "stereo-specific receptors" but I'm not sure how that works with a very planar molecule like Alprazolam.
I doubt this, but ... if it does have stable chirality, perhaps it's about the tertiary nitrogen where the two rings are connected if the lone pair electrons are orthoganal to the rest of the ring system and pernamently kick things out of planarity.
here's the molecule from wikipedia page:

in my opinion on loking at the tablet the middle section seems the same size if not larger than the other sections, and if the three sections were indeed different mgs, would this be a problem? i mean lets just say the middle section was 1mg and the outter .5mg, to someone in the know that this was the case, would there be much confusion?

okay, now that I'm more
okay, now that I'm more awake, I embarrased myself with the nitrogen suggestion, I was just looking for some reason somewhere for optical isomer. When one says R and S one generally means a chiral center which I do not see with this molecule. Though it is uncommon, it is possible to have optical isomers with no chiral center but I do not see a place for that in this molecule, either.
I'm probably missing something. Perhaps someone else has a suggestion?

I am original poster, couldn't log in so changed name
Anyway, without weighing the sections, it appears the pill can be divided into three equal sections of .66 each. The middle section is smaller between the score lines.
As to whether it is fake or not it definitely has some sedative effect similar to Xanax but I believe, for equal doses, to be much stronger than the real deal.
Would love to find the answer to this mystery as the pills are put aside for now

I have these and think the last post was the best...
These pills differently have an effect and are mellowing me a little. Compared to other 2mg bars I have taken in the pass these are weaker. This is what I have come to conclude so far. I haven't taken any xanax in a while so I don't have a high tolerance. I took this a little over an hour ago and yes can feels something, but nothing like other xanax 2mg that I have tried in the past. Be careful getting these, I think I'm just going to order some other brand next time to try and I would believe these to be foreign made for sure.

Ah ok. Well every state
Ah ok. Well every state except Queensland in Australia, you can possess as many benzos as you want without a script. As docs at out patient clinic meetings just sell generic valiums for benzo addicts for $5 (PBS sceme) a bottle. so obviously people starting on weening off get 50 x 5mg first day, next day 49 tablets etc.. alot of these would get around.. and as i saiod docs can just hand them to you.. even if u have no script or bottle with name on it.. theyre legal to possess, biut not to sell unless you have a license to. basically being a doctor or a pharmacist giving you your scripted benzos.
so legally u can possess any benzo besides roofies in australia.

Carisoprodol
I recently purchased some carisoprodol from an online pharmacy. I received my order with no problems or delays but am wondering if anyone else has gotten this medication as well. Since this is my first online purchase I am a little apprehensive about the authenticity of the medication. The manufacturer is Spier x or Spier Rx and the pill is white, plain and round, with a score line down the center. If anyone has any info. I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Question
I know this is way off topic, but I was wondering about on line pharmacies. I get all my RX's from my CVS so I was wondering how that works? Do you just order and in a few days pills just magically appear at your door.Who writes the RX, gives the DX etc.I did not even think they could mail narcotics or benzos. I guess I am totally out of the loop.Personally, I would be afraid to take any of this stuff as for all you know you could ne ingesting poison.I am a Pharmacy Tech although I went to school 34 yrs ago so this is all new to me.I would think that this is a Very EASY way for drug abusers to get their fixes for a rather small amount of cash and also a very easy way to OD because you take too muchor are taking Garbage. Sorry so long I am just amazed at this whole thing.Who ever is brave enough to answer me, THANK YOU so much in advance as I know it will take up a lot of your time.My sister passed away 2 years ago due to an OD and I always wondered how she came up with so much cash all the time, now I may have 1 answer among the many others.Thanks Again, not only for this but for all the other help you have all given me.Nancie

xanax 2.0 pill
To Narod58,
What you have is for real, believe me. I just got some of those same things yesterday and was just as curious as you. i could not take one because i am getting drug tested today. But i did take a small bite out of one of the ends of one of them, and the taste is exact, its bitter, its definitely the real deal. Not to mention, after about 15 mins. i was knocked out for about an hour. And i am no light weight, i take roughly 4-5 mg a day of clonopin as well. So in my opinion they are foreign, but still real...

fake xanax 2.0
I might also add to Narod58, to be careful w/them and make sure if u are going to take them, take them in small quantities at first, like a section at a time and see how you feel, but as i said they are definitely not from the U.S. Whoever made them did a good job pressing them, the dosage may not be exact, for example, they may not be exactly 2mgs but the ones i have definitely are real and after today, im going to try another section of one just to be sure. But yesterday, like i said i took only the corner section of one, chewed it, and the taste is definitely alprazolam. Not to mention it knocked me out.
So again, they are real, but foreign. Just be careful at first w/them and take small doses. I will be doing the same. Anyone who says they are fakes doesn't know what they are talkin about. they work just fine for me, but as mentioned by others, since they are foreign, different batches may be different potency since the federal approvals of drugs are much different in places like asia and india, which i believe they are from one of the two.
Anyway, don't throw them out, they are real, and they are rather potent as far as i can tell.
good luck Narod58 or anyone else who has these.
REMEMBER, TAKE IT SLOW.......AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE...
