I am going to repeat myself with this old post cause once again it is relevant.
Although the chemical formula's of all alps are very similar there are two very important characteristics to alps that are important to know and research.
1. time of onset or kick in time....this can vary from brand to brand, but not by very much.....an hour's difference does exist between some brands. To quote: "Alprazolam has a fast onset of action and symptomatic relief. Ninety percent of peak effects are achieved within the first hour of using either the CT formulation or the XR formulation in preparation for panic disorder, and full peak effects are achieved in 1.5 and 1.6 hours respectively."
2. the 1/2 life.......this is the time ( in terms of hours) the med remains in your body (just double the 1/2 life to get the full reading on how long the med is in your system). This is a whole different matter, because the variance in time the med is in your body between alps can be HUGE. For example: the 1/2 life of Xanax is between 6-20 hours, the 1/2 life of Clonazepam (Rivotril) is between 18-39 hours.....that's a long time.....leading to a build up of this med in your body......and may not be healthy.
for me, I like a fast onset time and a short 1/2 life.......this gives me the most control over how I use it and how I lose it.
these two point are well worth being knowledgeable about if your using benzos (all info on this is easily found on the web)........Money is important, but knowing about these differences and how you use these meds is more important in my opinion. Â Be respectful of your money (it can be replaced)......but be even more respectful of your body (it cannot be replaced).......at least not in this lifetimeLOL. Â Â DO THE RESEARCH....it's worth your time and effort.
