Hi & Welcome.
I have read you query and I can understand your concern regarding the efficacy of two brands of anti-anxiety drug Alprazolam.
This seems to be due to varying potency in these selected brands.
Although the chemical make up of the drug is same however, the potency differs from one pharmaceutical company to another one.
In view of the above I advice you to consult your treating doctor for an alternate but effective brand to relieve your anxiety levels.
Hope this will help.
