The generic name for Xanax is alprazolam. Most "Xanax" now dispensed by pharmacies is in the generic form of alprazolam (a short-acting benzodiazepine medication, that is more dependence producing than other benzos, due to the fact that it develops its peak concentration in the bloodstream more quickly than other benzos, and also crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily, due to its lipophilicity (or lipid attraction nature).
Xanax addiction and Valium addiction are more common than addictions to all other drugs in their class (benzodiazepines) combined.

Alprazolam is the generic name of Xanax. Other North American brand names for alprazolam include:
In the United States: Xanax (alprazolam), Xanax XR (alprazolam extended-release), Niravam (alprazolam sublingual), and alprazolam intensol solution.
In Canada Xanax, Xanax TS, Apo-Alprax, Apo-Alprax TS, Nu-
AlprazAlpraz, Novo-Alprazol, Alti-Alprazolam, Gen-Alprazolam. All these are different brands of alprazolam and Xanax TS and Apo-Alprax TS are 2 mg alprazolam tablets.
In Mexico Tafil and Alzam are brand names for alprazolam.
It is rare for Pfizer brand Xanax to be dispensed in North America but in many countries in Europe brand name Xanax is extremely common and cheap.
I feel I should address the misconception that Xanax addiction and, according to the other answer, Valium (diazepam) addiction are the most common.
Outside of The US Xanax is not a commonly used drug, simply comparing the most prescribed benzodiazepines between The US and Canada, where prescribing rates are the same is an indicator:
Most prescribed benzodiazepines in The United States
1) Xanax (alprazolam)
2) Ativan (lorazepam)
3) Klonopin (clonazepam)
4) Valium (diazepam)
5) Restoril (temazepam)
Most prescribed benzodiazepines in Canada
1) Ativan (lorazepam)
2) Rivotril (clonazepam)
3) Serax (oxazepam)
4) Restoril (temazepam)
5) Xanax (alprazolam)
Internationally Nimetazepam, Rohypnol (flunitrazepam), Versed, Hypnovel (midazolam), Mogadon (nitrazepam), Restoril (temazepam), Halcion (triazolam), and Valium (diazepam) are the most abused benzodiazepines and many countries have higher restrictions on many of these drugs compared to other benzodiazepines.
In The US Xanax is most abused however the rate of abuse is equal to the number of prescriptions given. This also applies to other benzodiazepines except clonazepam. Clonazepam is the second most abused benzodiazepine in The US with and 50% in crease in abuse yearly. Statistically Xanax is not the most abused on a per capita basis, it is clonazepam. Also Valium abuse and rates of prescription are drooping in The US and Canada.
The batches of the generic for Xanax, called alprazolam, made by a number of pharmaceutical companies, can vary in potency from 85% as potent as brand-name Xanax, to 110% as potent. This is the FDA allowable maximum varation, in most cases.
There is no "best brand of generic Xanax" per se, even though some people will say otherwise (due to their own perceptions, usually, rather than any scientific study).
