Looking For Lorazepam That Is Exactly Like Watson Brand (Page 3) (Top voted first)
Updated
jmk Says:
I've been taking Watson Pharmaceuticals Lorazepam and it worked great. Apparently, Actavis just took over Watson, and Watson no longer exists. I'm looking for another bran of Lorazepam that has the same Active & Inactive ingredients as the Watson brand, however, I can't locate the info on line and my pharmacy won't help me. Does anyone know what other manufacturer carries Lorazepam that is exactly the same as the Watson brand. Actavis and Sandoz manufacturer's Lorazepam does not work.

JMK, HI! I just got my Lorazepam yesterday & wasn't too happy when I saw Actavis made them & decided to give them a chance to work 1st b4 I get negative. I take 2mg 4x a day cause of extremely high anxiety. Well, I used to take Watson too but they took too long to kick in, by the 2nd day taking Actavis I noticed they worked much faster & I have a very high tolerance. Maybe, give them a chance b4 assuming they don't work just because thry're not Watson. Hope it works 4 u...

Thanks Ryan,
So Adderall is a Lorazepam-like tranquilizer made by Sandoz that works like the OLD Lorazepam when Watson made it. WOW!!!. I'll give it a try. Many Many Thanks.

Ryan ... Two questions .. What is the IR after Adderall. I went to the link on Adderall and it says this:
"Adderall is generally well-tolerated and effective in treating the symptoms of ADHD and narcolepsy." YIPES I don't have ADHD or Narcolepsy. Not so sure this is for me. Do you have these conditions and are using Aderall for that???
Thanks.

Hi Ghost,
HUH??? Don't understand how you get a brand name (Ativan) for zero at Walgreens: " I don't know where you live but if you can get to a Walgreens have your Dr DAW (dispense as written) your script you'll get name brand for $0"
Have you done this, how does that work??? Please answer. Would love to know. Do you use an RX Discount Card and get Ativan (name brand for Lorazepam)?. HUGELY expensive EVEN with a discount. ?????

Hi Ghost,
I don't get it??? How can you go to Walgreens and have them fill an RX for Ativan and get it for a 0 co-pay. You must have a great insurance plan.

Hi Ghost,
Again, I don't understand what insurance plan you're on that allows you to get Ativan for a 0 co-pay. Can you shed some light on this. Thanks.

Lorazed Says:
Watson has merged with Actavis, so Watson lorazepam no longer exists. Some pharmacies may still have a remaining order of Watson, though. However, on my Actavis lorazepam, the tablets themselves are still stamped with Watson! Apparently, it still has Watson stamped on the tablets, though it's the inferior Actavis formulation. How confusing and misleading.
Are there any good, effective manufacturers for lorazepam these days? Sandoz doesn't work well on me, either. How are Leading Pharma, PAR, Mylan, and Teva for lorazepam? Was anyone able to get the name brand, Ativan? How much was the copay, and how did it work?
Thanks.

Dailymedscom is a great site to find out about inactive ingredients if you say the brand of medication and the dose it's normally the first site that comes up on Google. Scroll all the way down the first page and one of the last things that states is appearance and ingredients. Tap there and it will show you the strength you were taking and the inactive ingredients and if you scroll all the way down it will also show the packaging plant. Often you'll see Purr Pac on your bottle thinking that's the brand name but it's only the place it was packaged at. This seems to throw many people off. But it is an excellent site if you're looking for more information about your medicine. I hope this helps

Does ANYONE have anything positive or good to say about lorazepam made by a Leading Pharmaceuticals? I’ve been on Ativan/lorazepam for over 35 years (2mg 3 x day).....since retiring 6 years ago I went on Costco’s Watson lorazepam which seemed to work very well for me (despite depression that started 2 years ago that possibly could come from a change when Watson was bought...I have no idea).....however...last week I picked up my prescription only to find my lorazepam was now MAJOR PHARMA (insert says Leading Pharmaceuticals).....and after reading this forum....I very concerned....sooo..again..has anyone had good results with Leading?

FYI! Actavis still sells the Watson Pills. They actually say Watson on the pill. But Actavis took them over so the outside of your RX bottle will say Actavis, but it's still the Watson Pill.

Re: Jo (# 55)
Okay.....so my last prescription was filled with Actavis/Watson.....seemed to work for me.......after a while I noticed I was getting minor brief headaches....in all my 71 years I just didn’t get headaches.....and a bit of tachycardia when I moved a lot or even dreaming at night, I then noticed I was washing out faster with Actavis than I was with Leading....so next week I get a new 3 month prescription......so I called around to Costco’s, Walgreens, CVS's, NOBODY has Leading now...only Actavis...good grief, is there a monopoly now by Actavis in the space of 3 months? Not sure what options I have.....I still had some old Watson before it was moved to India.....even now they are better than Actavis......any suggestions?
