Has anyone ever gotten a response to a question (via e-mail) from Prescriptions4less? I have sent them five e-mails with no responses. Aren't they sister sites to SkyRX and RXBetterDeals, who by the way also are not answering phone calls or e-mails. If anyone knows how to go about getting a question answered by them, please let me know.

I've never heard of them. What is their URL?

BTW, are you trying to contact EVERY OP out there?

I'm noticing some sort of a pattern here, but to be polite I will keep my opinions to myself.

I guess I'm not so polite. But seriously, to Kelly - what info exactly are you after? You might have better luck asking here, as you no doubt know by now, that CS is not a big specialty of the NROPs.

Not trying to get in your face or anything - seriously.

Ok Kelly, I guess it's rather impolite of me to just make an odd statement and leave it at that. I'm not trying to get in your face either, you originally started a thread asking what OPs carry the brand name xanax, a few members pointed you in the right direction (YOD, NWW, etc) which you found too expensive. Then you asked about the quality of the generics (alazopram) from various NR OPs and those questions were answered as well, I even answered to one of those posts.Then you questioned the legality of the NR sites and declared that you will deal with a records OP. Now you are asking about NR OPs again.

Don is right, most NR sites aren't very top drawer when it comes to customer service questions, but if you want to order most people who order from them will and or did tell you that the products are fine and that if your order doesn't arrive it's COD so you aren't out any money. Also most of the OPs are based in Florida and with Ivan headed their way, perhaps they evacuated the area and are not available to take calls or answer e-mails.

Also I agree with Don that most questions you seek answers to, you will most likely get those answers you are looking for here. DB has great people and we are always willing to lend a hand to someone not quite used to the OP world.

The question I would have liked answered from the OP is to ensure that if I pay the big bucks for the brand name Xanax (generics do not work well for me), that it is the true name brand Xanax made in the U.S. by Upjohn/Pharmacia. If anyone knows this on this board, that would be wonderful, and I would appreciate the information. I'm really not trying to be a bother; I just do not want to order what they claim is name brand Xanax and pay top dollar and get something totally fake. I promise this will be my last post on the subject as it seems to be offending people and that was not my intent.

No, I'm not trying to contact every OP out there. I am trying to contact ones that "advertise" name brand Xanax on their sites, but I cannot get any answers as to if it is the real Xanax (made in the U.S.).

KK, I have emailed Rxbetterdeals several times,during the last hurricane delays, and they answered me within hours. The answers were short and to the point, but they covered what I needed to know. They have yet to be non-responsive to me. Though I've only ordered twice. A HUGE plus for me, which I just discovered yesterday, was that if you don't wanna lose time off work, waiting for a delivery that you must sign for, c.o.d is a great alternative. If you live in a neighborhood with very nice and nosey folks, who watch out for each others houses during the day. (Many are retired and have little else to do.) All I had to do was sign the money order, and address to the OP, and the package was at my door when I came home from work. So much better than sitting by the window, listening for the sound of the truck, and losing money.

Just my opinion.

Kelly, the sites you contacted asking if they carry the name brand xanax the answer is no, they only carry the generic brand but I can assure you that they work fine. Someone pointed out to you that NWW carries the name brand which is somewhere in the $200 to $300 range for 90 pills but even they carry the generics for 1/4 of the cost of the Upjohn brand name. As for being made in the US Sky, rxbetter,Jets etc... only ships out FDA approved, made in the US generics. Hope that helps.

I don't understand what the big deal is The generic form of xanax (ALPRAZOLAM) is the exact same thing.I do not understand why you would want to pay all of that extra money for the same thing.they all have the exact same active ingrediant,alprazolam.Do you think that it could be just in your head that you think the name brand is so much better?!?the only difference is on the pill it says xanax instead of....gg,2,4,9 on the 2mg bars.Like I said before all the same active ingrediant,the generic might possibly have different inactive ingrediance.

To change the subject for a minute,all of the hydrocodone pills all have the same active ingrediant hydro,but some do have different inactive ingrediance I take the generic watson brand and have no problem with it,but mallies and especially qualitest make me feel nautious.

It is probably the additives they add to them that is different than say the Watsons. I do not care for the name brand Lortab, I prefer the Watson brand for my pain. Settles well on my stomach, takes care of my pain and is cheaper too. Some people thing the adversion to Mallies is all in your head, but with so many complaining it makes you wonder if it is the added ingredients that are causing the nausea.

Basically all generics are going to be the same as the brand, it just makes no sense to pay so much extra money for the brand name if you an get it cheaper.

Even though I said I would not post on this subject anymore, I just had to respond to this one. With generics there is a 20% lee-way plus the inactive ingredients make them absorb differently in different people's systems. I happen to have a system where the generics to not work well. The same thing is true with my beta-blocker (I have mitral valve prolapse). The cardiologist switched me to a generic brand and then did an echocardiogram. He immediately switched me back to the name brand because the other was not as effective in controlling my problem. And, no I do no believe it is in my head; otherwise, I would not want to pay top dollar for Xanax. For the other person that posted that the answer to my question of SkyRx and Precriptions4Sale carrying name brand Xanax, it is definitely listed on their website as such. They also list the generic. That is what makes me believe they do in fact have the name brand (albeit at a higher price).

Hi Kelly,
This is my first posting after months of reading threads. I understand your dilemna completely. My first experience with an OP resulted in excellent customer service from both the online doctor and the pharmacy. However, the generic I received (1mg alprazolam - Geneva Generics) is ridiculously weak. At first I bought into the "it's all in your head...your just paranoid about it being from an OP source". From there I moved on to, "Oh great, the medication is probably fine and I'm building a tolerance." I refuse to deviate from the prescribed dosage, so I have spent the last 3 months basically feeling like Best if kept off the board. Well, guess what? I found a few pills from the final prescription my family doctor wrote me that I had squirreled away for emergencies and in case the OP thing turned out to be a scam. Still generic, but "PUR" (Purepac Pharmaceutical Co.) I took one 1mg and, for the first time in over 3 months, felt like I had actually taken an alprazolam. Enormous difference! I talked to my local pharmacist, since I had been prescribed alprazolam off and on for a couple of years and NEVER had them not work until going OP, and he pulled my computer record that showed that I had had prescriptions filled for both "PUR" and "SAN" (Sandoz Pharmaceuticals)at different times. Both generics, both completely effective. Something is seriously wrong with Geneva Generics. The difference is just too extreme to be attributed to binders and such. Or perhaps they're some sort of bootleg and not even legitmate meds...I don't know. My long-winded point is, maybe you don't need to hold out for Upjohn. Maybe it's not all generics, just the one you ended up with (Geneva, perhaps?)

I've taken generic and brand name. I can't tell the difference. And regarding the type of service someone wishes to use, it's my perrogative and their's too.
Peace,
Curiousdee

Is it just me or does anyone else just get a "this is a parked domain name" page when you enter the title of this thread into your browser?
