If you personally bought it from a reputable pharmacy, with a valid prescription, and the box or bottle or blister pack it's in says it's Xanax, it's probably Xanax.

Other than that it is not possible to visually distinguish a fake Xanax from a real one. Oh, I suppose if someone shows you a paper circle with "Xanax" written on it in crayon, you can be pretty sure it's not real. But all medication comes in a vast array of shapes and colors, and anyone who has the capacity to make something that could reasonably be taken for a professionally produced tablet (of anything) could pretty easily counterfeit the shape, color, and markings of any other tablet they want.

Here is a link to some pictures of alprazolam tablets (not all technically Xanax, which is a brand name, but the same medication):

You'll note that there are a LOT of different forms. Also, just because it doesn't match any of those pictures doesn't necessarily mean it isn't "real"; it might just have been produced by a company that's not represented in those pictures. And just because it DOES match one of those pictures doesn't mean it's definitely "real" either.
