While speaking of Xanax--any of you who are gluten free, watch out for your Xanax--some is not gluten free. Pfizer has always told us it is gluten free, now they have put it on their lists of gluten containing products and are telling us it was never gluten free. Alprazolam is the generic name and Greenstone Labs is also a Pfizer subsidiary, so all along, my Xanax (Alprazolam) has been glutening me and I didn't realize it. I knew I was having some kind of a reaction, but I never connected it to gluten, simply because I was told it was gluten free. As of now, Mylan Labs and Noropharm Labs do make Alprazolam gluten free.

Just a heads up for my gluten free friends!
