Lorazepam - Need To Find A Brand Like Watson (not Actavis)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Help!!!! I've loved the Watson brand of Lorazepam. I just take a small amount and it eases my anxiety. HOWEVER, Actavis bought Watson and (trust me) the product is no longer effective. OMG. So frustrating. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a Lorazepam comparable to Watson's?

I totally understand. I'm in the same position. The generics do the opposite of what the Watson brand did for me. I'm miserable.

You said, “after time it is wonderful”; does that mean you had problems for a period of time and thereafter adjusted to Teva?

Hi Sharon, I have not been able to get Watson Brand & have tried both Leader & Teva with not good results - nightmares, for one! Are you sure that Teva has changed Lorazepam tablet back to same ingredients as the Watson brand?

Re: joe (# 3) Expand Referenced Message

I have a wonderful announcement to make!!!

I have searched high and low since TEVA bought out Watson. I found out that RECENTLY TEVA has changed their formula to the Watson one. I found the Watson formula, and matched it to current TEVA, had MY pharmacist check it out with me, and voila, we have Watson!

I have tested it out, and after time, it is wonderful.

Good luck and talk to your pharmacist.

Yeah, Leading is awful, almost as bad as Sandoz. My pharmacist can no longer get Watson as well and only has Teva. I haven’t really tried it yet as I am quite intimidated, due to my experiences with Sandoz and Leading.

It's not on backorder. I found out today that Watson by Activus is no longer available! I've called every pharmacy they all have the manufacturer Leading. That gives me Vertigo. I'm freaking out right now because I need my script refilled.
