Teva Lorazepam Reviews (Page 33) (Top voted first)

I'm seeking insights and reviews on Teva Lorazepam and its comparison with Leading Pharma's version. There's a notable divide in user experiences. Some report Leading Pharma Lorazepam as being less effective or having no effect, possibly due to variations in the active ingredient, leading to side effects or adverse reactions in certain cases.

While there are those who recommend Teva Lorazepam for its efficacy, others find Leading Pharma's version more suitable. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to try Teva Lorazepam since it's not available in my area – no local pharmacies dispense it.

My experience with other brands, post the discontinuation of Qualitest, hasn't been successful in finding a comparable alternative. I'm particularly interested in understanding how Teva Lorazepam and Leading Pharma's lorazepam differ in terms of effectiveness and user satisfaction.

If you've had experiences with either or both of these medications, your reviews would be incredibly valuable. Any insights into their efficacy, side effects, or overall satisfaction would greatly help me and others in our decisions.

Yes. This is the second time I was unfortunately given Leading Pharma lorazepam. Once from CVS so I switched to Rite Aide and couldn’t believe it when I picked up my scrip yesterday and they had given me Leading Pharma lorazepam. Sugar pill that does nothing. A complete ripoff.

I take the brand Ativan from Bausch Health but unless your insurance will agree to pay their exorbitant cost it won't be an option. From what I've been reading here you might want to try the generic lorazepam from Aurobindo. CVS drug stores *might* order it for you or try an independent pharmacy in your area. Hope that helps.

was told today that teva and activus are two seperate companies now, was on the old teva/activus and worked fine but got the impression the old activus/teva will be phased out

Re: gsrmike98 (# 299)

Yes, I have tolerance withdrawal even before this change. It's interesting you found it to be stronger. You don't know what lot you are on by chance do you? My pharmacy started printing the lot numbers on the bottles. Mine is 100023425 exp 5/23.

I wonder if it could be a bad batch.

I can't updose. My psychiatric provider said that when I first started seeing them. I should have tapered when I was feeling better a while ago and thought of it but they were against it at the time. I'm not sure if they realize that over time you do go into withdrawal staying at the same dose.

There's a possibility my reaction is something else that's a coincidence. I'm not sure. I have a lot of stressors in my life, but I haven't been this bad off any time I can remember.

I was taking Watson. Leading lorazepam is exact same ingrediants as Watson. Works the same.

Oh it's a placebo??? So I get seizures detoxing off benzos so you are saying I can just stop taking it and won't have a seizure or any ill effects?? Cool. If I do though I'm coming back to this comment if I live. Because you said unequivocally leading is a placebo

Re: Jibbs55 (# 522)

Your message refers to ".5" mg. Have you put in an unfortunate point there? Either way it seems nonsensical to me. Nobody as far as I am aware makes 5mg lorazepam and no doctor I have ever met would recommend taking 2 x 2.5mg tabs at once. If you meant 0.5mg (500 micrograms) that is equally nonsensical. I know of no company who manufactures tablets in such a ridiculously low dosage. And, for God's sake, it is an idiotic mistake to miss out that crucial "0". WHEN WRITING A SUB-MILLIGRAM AMOUNT YOU MUST NEVER EVER WRITE 0.5 WITHOUT THAT ZERO. IT COULD CAUSE A PHARMACIST TO DISPENSE THAT STUPIDLY STRONG DOSE OF 2.5mg x 2 TDS WHICH I THINK MAY BE AS TOXIC AS 10mg NITRAZEPAM WHEN PRESCRIBED AND TAKEN FOR MORE THAN A MONTH. IF IN DOUBT OR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE ZERO IS ON YOUR KEYPAD THEN WRITE IT IN MICROGRAMS. Anyway, it is a moot point as I have checked the Formulary and the only strengths made and prescribable are 1mg and 2.5mg although India and Pakistan make Lorazepam in an under strength 2mg, not the 2.5mg made & prescribed in any other country of which I am aware!

Re: Charles (# 185)

First, I've been on 2mg x 3 day lorazepam for 38 years. A few years ago my pharmacy switched to the Leading Brand - at first one notices it's rather thick and sweet. Reading this forum made me doubt its effectiveness. I warn others- everyone reacts differently to the fillers used by different manufacturers. People here are describing how their body/minds process these fillers hence the 'effectiveness' of the product. Some people adjust (as in my case)...while others remain convinced they are useless (and that's really all it takes to make them so.) I've taken the real Watson....and when sold to Teva they utilized the Watson molds to produce Actavis (though I've heard they will be putting the Actavis name on their product soon). The "Watson" you get today is Actavis. It took a while for the stored real Watson to be used up....when the "Actavis" Watson became available, no doubt with slightly different fillers, yes, I noticed a difference. Same feeling I had with Leading...didn't feel as effective. I spoke with one of the Corporates for Leading which is literally around the corner from me....they said because of the filler-difference it may take a while for the body to adjust....just when I was about to stage a one-man 1960's style protest outside their building...the Leading brand kicked in.....so, in summation....if you believe a brand will work...it will. If you don't....it won't unless you give your body and mind a chance to adapt...the "mind" being the most important because it can/will convince your body things don't work if you believe it strongly enough.

Re: kittykat (# 190)

It works....give your body time to adjust to the fillers....most people want immediate relief...I only got that with the brand Ativan and only when it was made by Wyeth...its the fillers that are giving people trouble... i too was one who had issues with Leading, Actavis, the old Watson (which gave the least issues)....with the new Teva, I don't expect much change from Actavis since Teva bought Actavis recently...but time will tell.
