I came across a scary situation the other day that i think most people on lorazepam might be interested in. I take 1.5 mg of lorazepam a day, have been so for 30 years. My doctor has never mentioned any problems with my medication. Then last week i got a call from her that was frantic and uncontrollable, she kept repeating i have to wean down my dosage and kept repeating if you take oxycodone i could die. It was clear that she wasn't listening to one thing i was telling her. Today i called my family doctor to see what's going on with the DEA and he told me that recently they are looking at prescriptions over 1 mg. My first thought is i should get a new doctor. The conversation with the first doc, my shrink, was as unprofessional as i have ever had and if i don't have to ever...

Which manufacturer of 2mg Lorazepam gets the best reviews and how does Teva's Lorazepam compare to the rest? ## There have been a lot of changes in the last several months, but in my opinion: 1. Teva/Actavis 2. Aurobindo 3. Leading ## I agree. Teva works best for me. Leadings fillers seem to inhibit the active ingredient for me but we are all diffrrent.

klonopin round white pill scored on one one side, E synbol and 65 on the other side ## Yes, this tablet contains 2mgs of Clonazepam, a generic for Klonopin. This is a Benzodiazepine, used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache.

I was prescribed Prozac & Xanax 10 years ago by my psychiatrist for depression & severe panic attacks. He started me on 1mg 3 times a day. Around Dec 2005 he increased my daily dose to 1 mg - 4 times a day. I have been a patient of his now for 10 years where I see him every 3 months. Through the years, there has been a few times were I had to call to reschedule my appointment and a couple of times he had to do the same. He would call in my meds for the amount I would need to get me through to my next appointment. This month I had an appointment for May 27th I called to reschedule due to transportation. I do not drive now and my ride canceled on me. so, I rescheduled my app. for June 17th I then requested my meds be called in until my appointment, a 3 week supply. She said she wo...

I have been prescribed Valium for anxiety for a while, I recently got some 10mg ones with an A and a straight line across the middle with 278 at the bottom and on the other side a mark like a smiley ) but the right way round "as in when people put this next to a comment" :) we know its a smiley! Not sure if they are fake or generic! Any info would be appreciated ## Please do not take they are fake. I normally take half and that's enough but I ended up taking two and felt nothing. I ended up having a terrible sleep cos they made me feel weird ## I'm having the same dilemma with these pills. These are genuinely prescribed 10mg blue valium but i dont recognize them, i think they are too bitter and apart from this post haven't found out anything about them after ten mins...

Why would doctors stop writting a prescription of Lorazepam, which has worked for over 20 years for a patient who has panic disorder, because the patient is now too old at 70? Any input is appreciated. ## Hello Yusho, This NIH Article briefly explains why your doctors are choosing to stop your prescription. In a nut shell the medication works fine but studies have shown that older patients are more likely to experience adverse side effects. Some of these side effects can be life threatening which is why the NIH and FDA strongly suggest ceasing prescribing the medication as the patient ages. I hope this helps. Please reply if you have any further questions or have additional information to add. ## i was just discussing this topic with my doctor. I believe that the ``newer generation'...

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 intere...

I have severe anxiety and I have no insurance and need to find a doctor that can prescribe Xanax or klonopin ## Then you would have to pay in Cash. This forum assumes you have the money to get the items you need. ## This website really doesn't assume anything about anyone. As to the fact that you have no insurance, that is actually likely to create a problem, when looking for medications such as this, since they are known to be habit forming and commonly abused. Not having insurance and paying cash means the person may be risky, because it is much easier for them to doctor and pharmacy hop to try to game the system and get more medications than they should. Do you currently have a GP that you see regularly? They may be able to refer you to someone and that could limit the issues you...

Small round blue tablet msj wrote on 1 side and a line on the other side. Are these safe and are they diazepam? ## MSJ with a score mark on the other side have been identified as 10mg Diazepam tablets from Sweden, this is the active ingredient in Valium. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizzines and irritability. You can read more here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## There are pirate versions of these from Sri Lanka, look the same but strength (assuming it was correct information) varies from 8 to 30 mg. ## yes there safe and i bought 300 they are just as good as activis if trust me ## I just have a batch of MSJ and they're bloody strong, I normally take up to 20 Blues (u.k Actavis) but 4 of these knock me out.

It was filled from a pharmacy in Tijuana and has no numbers anywhere but has the 3 scores on both sides. Seems to work for me but I want to make sure it's actual Alprazolam. ## I have the same pills, I get my rx filled from Mexico as well. I doubt they're bad, they just might be generic? My other friend who has a prescription & gets them here in AZ had a different type. She let me compare hers to mine & they work the same in my opinion. Hers are 1 mg & mine are supposedly 2 mg. I always take half of mine because a whole one makes me super drowsy. Hope this helps :) ## I think they're called Rafil, we see them a lot here in Laredo (it's a border town). They're still Alprazolam, just from out of the country. ## It's just a generic version. You see them ...

I've been on a diazepam scripts for a long time now & had just been prescribed some diaxium tablets 10mg with red and blue markings on the packet (10per strip). I've noticed there are no signs or symbols on the blue tablets.... just a line going through the middle! Do they contain diazepam? ## I realize this response is far beyond the timing of your post, but in my investigation Diaxium does not appear to be a recognized name used by any known drug manufacturers... The closest name I found to that is Doxium, which is a 250mg calcium dobesilate tablet. Personally, I think the odds of them being counterfeit are relatively high, especially since there are no proper markings for a means of identification. If it's not from a licensed pharmacy I would honestly recommend gettin...

The round light orange pill I got for alprazolam 0.5mg only has a -R on one side and a straight line through the middle on the other. No other #s or letters. Is it alprazolam? ## The 0.5 mg round orange Alprazolam with the stylized (-R) and score line should have some numbers on it as well. The logo is from Actavis, and the NDC code for the pill is 0228-2029. Here is an image of what it should look like:

What does clonazepam have in it to make it fall under the controlled substance act? I have been taking this medication for some time. I was told it has a controlled substance in it. What is it? ## Hello, Mimi! How are you? Clonazepam itself is the controlled substance, it is a benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming, so the FDA and DEA make sure it is regulated. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. ## I've been taking it for sometime myself. I use to wonder why myself. I'm extremely sensitive to different brands. I have been suffering for the last four months because the brand I always used drastically changed something in the ingredients. Just wondering if you have problems with different brands. To my body it...

I have been taking Teva 10 mg diazapam for over 20 years. My pharmacy is switching to Mylan brand. Will this brand change have a negative effect? I've tried the Mylans but it was over a decade ago and had no problem with them. Thanks!

I have recently received a new diazepam tablet to me, called Martin Dow limited 10mg. They come in strips of 10 per blister and are blue hard tablets with a score line on one side and the other side has 10 imprinted in it. I recently submitted some to wedinos to get them tested and they came back containing only diazepam, you can see the wedinos website reference number W010443 for the submission I made. Does anybody else have experience of these? The blisters are printed in blue stating Valium (diazepam) and from what I have read they are allowed to use the word Valium as they have licence from Roche who first developed them. Any further information would be great! ## Which pharmacy did you use to fill your prescription? ## They came from OSP; it's UKSP that I won't be using ag...

PLEASE HELP! For the past 7yrs I've been on 1mg Xanax (3x) per day for anxiety and panic attacks. I take my dosage of Xanax as prescribed by my Dr unless I have a severe panic attack, then I may take an additional (1-2) 1mg xanax when I'm actually having a severe full blown panic attack to stop it. I've been on other Benzos before but Xanax seems to be the only thing that stops the panic attacks when I'm having them. Recently my Dr decided to switch me from 1mg Xanax (3x) per day to 10mg of Valium (2x) per day because he says Valium is "stronger" and has a longer half life than Xanax. He says the Xanax isn't working for my anxiety anymore. From what I've read on the Internet about Xanax vs Valium is that Xanax works better than Valium for panic attacks. I...

Farmapram 2mg, filled a prescription at ABC Pharmacy in Nuevo Progreso. Can anyone provide information on them please? Are these the same as domestic US medications? ## From what I could gather, Farmapram 2mg is allegedly a form of Alprazolam 2mg from Mexico. I don't know if your pill has any markings, but another Farmapram 1mg tablet I came across with IFA imprinted on one side and scored on the other, was manufactured by Investigación Farmacéutica, Mexico. Unfortunately I haven't heard of this company before so I'm unable to offer a personal opinion on their legitimacy. However if there are no markings I would definitely be skeptical. ## Link below what bottle looks like.... farmapram 2mg packaging image ## Are they Legit or safe, probably.
