Leading Pharma Lorazepam Reviews
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I am really confused about everyone's posts concerning the leading brand Lorazepam. I have been taking the generic form of Lorazepam 2mg for 25 years. I've used every kind, from Watson to the current leading one. It appears that the sugary taste is the primary issue for everyone here.
The amount of negative reviews about this company is absurd. They are no different than any other generic Lorazepam; they work the same. The only difference in this pill is the inactive ingredient, which contains potassium, and that's why the pill tastes like sugar.
However, my point is, if you are a long-term user of benzos, you would have all ended up withdrawing and possibly seizing if the pill really didn't contain the main ingredient. The ER doctor would have been the first to report this pharmacy if your illness had anything to do with it. A negative review does nothing to persuade a discontinued manufacturer to bring back the generic form that any of us got comfortable with.
A Lorazepam is a Lorazepam, and the Leading Pharma Lorazepam is the same as any Lorazepam. It functions just like the rest.

First few days taking it, I always need a few days of adjustment with a new manufacturer. But, so far, so good. Will keep you posted.
Re: Leebs (# 113)
Found the label on DailyMed (NDC 63304-774-90). It's manufactured by Ohm Laboratories in NJ for Sun Pharmaceutical. Have you taken it yet? What's the verdict?
Re: Leebs (# 113)
I never heard of it until your post. Seems like another New Jersey lorazepam is on the market (the other from Fairfield, NJ- Leading Pharma)....let us know how it works for you as I'm sure with Teva & Leading having ingredient shortages at the moment and Teva shipping cut back as they did last December we may be seeing more Sun Pharma products in the pharnacirs soon. Happy New Year everyone!
I have been taking Leading Mfg Lorazepam for several months, initially had to adjust, but it worked ok. Went to pick up my script today and it is from Sun Pharma. Never had these before, does anyone have any experience with them. Apparently they are manufactured in New Jersey. Any thoughts?
Re: Richard H (# 110)
Okay...since forum was renamed Rxchat ALL emails from this forum now go into my "Junk" folder (no idea why I have a "Spam" folder too)....just moved them to inbox -but they are not the old typical emails stating "someone has responded to your...." Instead they list ALL forums on Rxchat and very few contain anything about lorazepam......please- Admin - go back to the old way..it worked so well!
Re: Roy (# 109)
I'm amazed that they ALL disappeared......didn't even get notification that you answered, Roy. It's sad because I know of no other place people can discuss their experiences without being censored.
Re: Richard H (# 108)
Google happened. They started favoring garbage blog farms that use SEO tricks to rank well. Either that or recovery centers all of a sudden became very popular with their thoughtful blog posts.
Re: Leebs (# 107)
What happened to all the various chats regarding lorazepam? I haven't received any notices of any activity in any of them.....found an old link from last June which seems to be the most recent post in all the chats. What happened?
Re: Abomb (# 1)
I agree, the generics are not the same as they were a few years ago. I have been switched back to Leading from Aurobindo, then Teva. After a few days of adjustment, the Leading are working ok for me.
Re: BMn (# 32)
I definitely do not believe you worked as a pharmacist. Because if you did you would have been inundated with people, mostly anxiety sufferers saying the new generic doesn't work. They see it is generic and automatically think it won't work. The mind is powerful. If that was the case there would be millions of people having seizures and ending up at the hospital.
Yesterday my pharmacy told me they are able to order Teva 2mg lorazepam so I switched generics (they’ve only had Leading for a year). I used to take Teva generic before Leading and only needed half the amount.
Re: DM (# 102)
Wastson lorazepam (the original) hasn't been available since 2013/14......when Actavis bought them out they also bought the molds thus until Teva took over Actavis Lorazepam production, the old Watson molds were used so it still said "Watson" on them but if you compared it to the pre-2013 Watson, the letters were more blurry. I found the Actavis Watson to be less effective.....that's when I consulted an old pharmacist friend who gave me the info. I did find the original Teva lorazepam very good when I first started it..it was made in Israel......but that too changed...I then found out they were outsourcing exports to be made in the Czech Republic. (Sigh).
Re: Cleverwabbit (# 17)
Watson, Actavis no longer manufactured
Re: Briards (# 11)
Watson is no longer available. They were far superior in their genetics of Valium, hydracodone, a nd lorazapam. My 87 years mom who tuck Watson Valium every once in awhile. Had taken her usual dose one night and she said she was not getting any effect from them. So I looked at her prescription and it was a different generic. So if my elderly mother did not feel a thing. I know there is a difference
Re: Briards (# 100)
'Effective" is subject to the patient.....Leading does nothing for some but is excellent for others. The active ingredient is there is all the brands I've tried...it's the fillers and % of fillers that seem to govern whether a brand is effective or not for each individual. I found the original Watson to be more effective than Wyeths original Ativan but that is just how my body responded. Don't accept anyones advice here (negative or positive) until you have tried the brand yourself.
Re: Joe (# 99)
Since you understand the “night and day” of manufacturers products could you please share who makes an effective Lorazepam? Thank you.
Sorry your not speaking for all benzo
Patients. Been on lorazepam 31 years and the difference between lorazepam makers is night and day. Tried leading once and they found their way into my garbage can. Just where they belong.
Just because they work for you doest mean they work for all
