Looking For Lorazepam That Is Exactly Like Watson Brand (Page 4) (Top voted first)

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.

India! The pharmacist never heard of it. Actavis Watson for a long time. No problems. I am making calls to find it.

Was your breathing problem from taking the Teva? I have been on Watson brand for 15 plus years. Switched to Teva and now having pressure in my chest and can’t take a good deep breath. Talked to doctor he said to get off my Benadryl. I don’t think that’s the problem. Anyone else having this problem with Teva?

I originally was taking Actavis clonazepam. Ventiva bought them over and discontinued it. So I had to take Teva clonazepam. And it made me so agitated my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest! I had changed over to lorazepam made by watson. It, my nerves I didn't have to take a lot I was able to fall asleep. I can't seem to find anyone that sells watson. I've been taking Lorazepam by Teva and it does the same thing the clinic has a Pam did from Teva it just makes me so tense and it feels like my heart is just being twisted

I've been through Watson until they were made in India...were bought by Actavis - never the same despite molds not changing until last year....Leading, and now Teva.... Has anyone found something better?

Update: began taking Teva - was wonder...i read it was made in Israel. It felt like the old Watson. But by next prescription something had changed.... i don't think it was me... i began to feel anxious only a few hours after taking it. I discovered it was now made in the Czech Republic.....Its definitely not the Teva I started out with...now every chain pharmacy, costco and independents sell it as their only lorazepam......it must be very cheap...but for me quite unsatisfactory.

Costco Mail Order Pharmacy STILL has Lorazepam made by Watson. I imagine it's a limited quantity and once it's gone, eeeks.
Put an order in and am getting the Watson. Check around guys.

I took Watson generic lorazepam for 6 years. I was then given Mylan, and noticed an immediate difference. I noticed heartburn (GERD) and that it was not working.

I switched to another pharmacy that gave me Sandoz lorazepam.

To me personally, they were the exact same as the old Watson's. I (now) prefer Sandoz generic Adderall IR
because they work, and are the most like Watson.

Re: Jo (# 52)

You are correct, Jo. I spend a half hour talking to a pharmacist who on my behalf spoke with Actavis. Actavis has never made lorazepam.. they are a distributor for Watson since 2013 (actually 2012) when Teva bought Watson. The formula is identical and they use the same molds as Watson did. The only minor difference is the white dye of the pill...it’s slightly whiter....but it’s the exact same Watson pill....i’m sure you’ve read on this forum how awful Leading Pharma is...Well..i’ve Been on Ativan/lorazepam for 35 years and from what I’ve read here I take a bit more than a mg a day (actually i’ve Been on the same 6mg/day dose for all 35 years....and Leading worked just fine.....we all have to keep in mind WHY we are taking benzos ...anxiety, panic disorder, etc...along with that comes a little (or a lot) health anxiety when someone messes with our meds.....one has to keep in mind though not EVERY generic is meant for everyone......the inactive ingredients can control how your body absorbs the meds..but also with anxiety whether on generic or name brand (i’ve It happen on both)...sudden;y we get a new symptom and we naturally blame the new generic.....when I was on name brand Ativan i’d Get new symptoms and if I had just switched to a generic I absolutely would have blamed it. I too have GERD...it comes and goes....that’s how GERD works.....one can blame a generic but most likely it’s too much tomoato sauce or coffee....

Re: Sarah (# 67)

Actually I had the same symptoms or side effects that you did from Teva lorazepam. And Teva clonazepam. I had to take a small half of my Benadryl just to come my nerves and fall asleep. So your doctor is incorrect

Well, you're pharmacy won't help, because if the active ingredient is the same, they are considered the same. The inactive ingredients are called such for a reason, they don't affect the drug.

How long have you been taking your current dose? It is possible that you've just become tolerant to it and need a dosage adjustment or to switch to a different medication.

This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
