Teva Lorazepam Reviews (Page 15)
(Newest replies 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.

Re: Teresa (# 429)

For anyone having issues with lorazepam genetics, have you tried Loreev XR? It's a once daily lorazepam product that's a brand name but much less expensive than brand name Ativan and therefore easier to get insurance approval. I haven't taken it or seen much feedback anywhere. Might be the answer for some of you.

Re: Ajay (# 427)

Ugh.. they've changed for sure. My last two fills haven't worked as normal. My dr says it's because I've built up a tolerance... but I've been on lorazepam for 23 years. Qualitest and Mylan always worked the best. I found aurobindo after feeling what you feel now on leading.. leading is the worst..I don't see how anyone can take it.. now auro bindo seems like it doesn't work.

Re: Ajay (# 427)

Ajay, I'm not sure what or if the company has made any changes. Like I said I've been on Leading brand well over a year. Maybe you could call them. Hope that helps.

Re: Jibbs55 (# 422)

Can someone help me?
I have been fine talking Aurobindo 0.5 mg Lorazepam for last 3 years after switching from Mylan.
However after my latest refill of the Aurobindo - it has a totally different effect. It’s giving me sudden insomnia and anxiety which has been fine for years. What do I do?

The pill has the same stamp as the previous Aurobindo tablets.

Unfortunately as long as they let the Mexicans in the US, the cartel will continually bring in the fentanyl.

Institutional investors include the following organizations: credit unions, banks, large funds such as a mutual or hedge fund, venture capital funds, insurance companies, and pension funds. Institutional investors exert a significant influence on the market, both in a positive and negative way.Oct 23, 2022

"Institutional Investers" owns Teva and Watsons. It's about money, not care!
Owned by people who don't care! It's money in their pocket. Politicians are in on it! I hate to say it, but we are all going to have to find a good alternative.

Wonder if any of you have watched this benzo hit piece "documentary" on Netflix yet? These clowns really need to spend more effort addressing the fentanyl crisis which kills over 50k people in the US a year instead of worrying about benzodiazepines. /rant

Re: Lex (# 420)

I'd stick with the Aurobindo if the one your on runs out. I'd totally be grateful if I could get Aurobindo here. Still stuck on Leading brand for almost 2 years now.

Re: Michael (# 419)

I've tried teva and leading. it is not effective for me. Aurobindo is slightly better but not as good as Actavis. I also still use actavis at this time. but supplies will also run out. maybe someone here knows the solution and can tell me

Re: Michael (# 415)

Has anyone had such trouble with the generic lorazepam that they have switched to another benzo? I switched to Xanax and immediately had palpitations, increased no, basically a 3 hour panic attack. I only felt better as the Xanax got metabolized. I have about a week left of Watson/Actavis and leading game me the same panic and Teva felt like it was Closing my throat for 3 hours. I have worried so much after 18 years of taking Watson, and my safety net of lorazepam is one week away from complete erosion.

Problems with name brand Ativan

I switched from Actavis to the name brand and did OK-ish. I noticed when the lot changed over from one expiring in 4/23 to one expiring in 11/24 I did a bit worse but hung on, and by then was taking Zyprexa as needed which helped take the edge off the benzodiazepine tolerance symptoms.

The pharmacy, without me realizing it, reverted back to giving me the one expiring 4/23 for a month, and I had been eating and sleeping unusually well for me and barely taking Zyprexa. I hadn't even noticed the lot number change on the bottle.

I only noticed this month when it switched back to the 11/24 expiration lot (lot 22B004P) I had nearly instant withdrawal: lack of sleep, lack of eating, and I went back on the Zyprexa and still haven't been eating. I wish I had kept some of the older lot to compare with but had used it all up, but I am quite sure it was that change. The pharmacy is supposed to put medicine from different lots in different bottles but overlooked that and put 10 from the previous lot (the 4/23 lot) in with the other 80. So I have 10 of the old ones, but don't know which is which. In the mean time been taking some old generic Aurobindo I had and not doing great on it. Bausch was not helpful at all. I wrote to ask if they knew if they had switched manufacturing sites or API suppliers or if they could assist with a replacement. They are incredibly rude for a product that costs $3,800 per month. I don't know what else it could be. I was thinking my lorazepam issues were sort of over for now. I wasn't waking up needing to take it right away. I'd go get tea and breakfast first. I noticed I was stretching out the time between doses. Was eating well, sleeping well. And I go from that to horrible symptoms. I wonder if the older one I was getting was when they were making it in Germany or they're both from their factory in Canada. I used to get the boxes and manufacturer bottles with my prescriptions so that I could tell, but I don't anymore so I have no idea and Bausch won't even answer a simple question like that. You can't even tell from the prescribing information sheets anymore. And the pharmacies are too overwhelmed to answer questions (the ones near me are so overwhelmed and overstaffed they shut down the drive-thru's and close early and turn off their phones). It seems like I was on an unusually good lot and got used to it and now am having bad withdrawal again. The difference in expiration date is 19 months between the two lots. In 19 months during the pandemic, I imagine they had supply chain issues and likely switched API suppliers.

I agree Leading is a placebo. I wish these mfg. would stop trying to cut corners with the proper ingredients and put the right formula in. Maybe they show cut the big bucks that are paid to higher ups and not take it out on peoples medication.

Re: Sgonedes1977 (# 411)

While I agree taking away this medication is cruel, I'm thinking me saying it's not wise to drink while using benzodiazepines triggered your response. Whether I get what you said it's still not something anyone should try. Most of us are in the same boat here taking a lorazepam.

Do you have a date of use and visual? I’ve taken lorazepam at many hospitals, the dates and places are just recollections these days…

Taking away someone’s medication is simply cruel. If you want to die with morals I say you go first next time.
