Teva Lorazepam Reviews (Page 25)
(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: Henry (# 171)

My pdoc is good. He knows his stuff. Doesn't have any troubles with me being on lorazepam. I started searching for someone to talk to because I've been in a slump with personal issues. Plus struggling with family and friends passing away. This therapist I spoke about told be to read a book on codependency because the pain I was feeling about them was apparently not a emotion you can have these days? Don't answer that I know the answer ;). Talked with a fellow that authorized my insurance to see this guy. He told me many therapist have lost their way. Thank you for the heads up and kind words.

Re: Jibbs55 (# 170)

Hey Jibbs, sorry about the bad doctors. Probably sounds crazy but find a psychiatrist that has a subspecialty in "addiction psychiatry". My last three have been and honestly they're not scared to prescribe benzodiazepines as they understand how we got to this place and they are trained in benzodiazepines & withdrawal so aren't afraid to deal with patients habituated on them.

Re: Henry (# 167)

My pharmacy won't do it here where I live. They've all told me they buy the cheapest and will not switch brands for anyone especially a benzodiazepenzine. My CVS will special order other drugs that aren't controlled substances. The pharmacist are more critical then doctors are about prescribing benzo's Walgreens will to but not benzo's. My new therapist started up on me for being on 4 mgs a day. Told him your not my doc so lay off. Spent 15 minutes telling me all the bad things about the drug Needless to say I fired him right there on the spot. His mouth dropped to the floor. Now I'm back searching for someone new. Everybody getting triggered over nothing these days. Think I read out here someone saying medical professionals were taught to do no harm to patients. Last month I was on Aurobindo and the following month bam back on Leading. Depending on the stock of Leading you get is a crap shoot. This time the old stock. First doze right back in the hole. Telling y'all get the Aurobindo if you can. No joke it's better than anything out here. Least you don't feel like burnt toast. Good luck y'all!

Re: Leebs (# 165)

I'm in MA and the CVS near me stocks the Aurobindo lorazepam. I called a few pharmacies, chain amd and independent and they were all carrying the Leading brand due to a lorazepam shortage/backorder apparently. I wouldn't give up on asking a CVS or an independent pharmacy to try and special order it, my Walgreens usually does that for me but mot for this. My next step was to see if I could get it from CanadaRx as I've ordered meds(not lorazepam, just SSRIs) in the past from them. You still need a legit Rx from a doctor but at least you know what you're getting and it doesn't break the bank. Now that I'm writing this though, not sure you could get Lorazepam over the border since it's a controlled substance. Might be worth looking into though. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Re: Leebs (# 165)

Try to find an independent pharmacy in your area. They still exist but mostly in larger population areas (when I lived in a small upstate ny town no luck, here in S FL there are at least two near me. The reason I recommend an independent pharmacy is usually they will order whichever generic manufacturer you request. CVS used to take requests when mylan was around but stopped, and Walgreens couldn't give a s#%t to help their customers.

Re: Jen (# 164)

Jen thanks for the update, I'm glad the aurobindo is working for you. Like you I found Leading was like taking nothing, so good to hear there's a better alternative on the market.

Re: Jen (# 164)

Does anyone know which chain is carrying the Aurobindo or Actavis? My pharmacy is Rite Aid and they switched to Leading 3 months ago... Leading has not been horrible, but Actavis was a little more effective and haven’t tried Aurobindo. I’m in New Jersey....
Thanks

Re: Henry (# 162)


Hi Henry, just wanted to report back re: the Aurobindo lorazepam. I've taken it a few days now and it definitely works better for me than the Leading brand. I know some on here like the Leading brand but it doesn't work with my body for sure. I take the 0.5mg tabs for what it's worth. Hopefully that helps. Sending positive vibes, be well.

Re: Jen (# 161)

Hi Jen, please post back after you've tried the Aurobindo generic. I'm very curious what your experience is especially directly compared to Leading (which I think is terrible, even filled a complaint with the FDA about them). I am taking the brand now as my current insurance covers it, but it would be nice if there was a bioequivalent lorazepam back on the market.

Re: Leebs (# 160)

Hey, thanks for sharing...really appreciate it. Now I'm even more baffled if you say it's wirking okay for you. Maybe it *is* just me and my anxiety is just not responding anymore to lorazepam like it was. At any rate, i found a CVS near me that uses the Aurobindo brand, so my doc called in an Rx for me there...hopefully it isn't any worse. Fingers crossed. Thank you again for the kind reply. ?? Best to you.

Re: Jen (# 159)

Stick with it Jen, unless you can find Actavis... they’ve had a shortage for a few months now, so Rite Aid switched to Leading. I had read a lot of the negative reviews about Leading, so I was a little concerned switching.. but Leading has been close to Actavis. Initially felt a little jittery and had headaches off/on, but fine now. Good luck to you.

Used to take Actavis 0.5mg for years. Only recently noticed my pharmacy changed it to Leading manufacturer in the past couple months. Didn't think anything of it but after only needing half to 1 pill and rarely ever needing a whole pill I'm finding this stuff feels like a sugar pill...not really really feeling much with even taking one and a half pills! WTF! So damn frustrating.

Re: Richard (# 151)

Actavis to me is as bad as the Leading I just got out of Tennessee Meds by mail VA/military pharmacy. For the past 4-5 months I was getting it from my main VA out west. This last fill came from Tennessee.

Aurobindo has a pretty good lorazepam. I know you're not a fan of meds coming out of India but I've not had any issues with anything they make.

Don't know about you Richard but I'm well beyond tired of getting my body use to one and they change out again. Been doing this since 1987.

Like to see Bausch get nailed for their brand name that isn't brand. Can't believe nobody has called them out. Hasn't been the same since 2004.

Re: JP (# 152)

Aurobindo worked really well for me. I don't care that it's made in India. So is some of my other meds. Least they don't fill their meds full of junk fillers. Just my imo.

Well I'm here to say the VA/military must have got some old stock of Leading/Major lorazepam. Started taken my newest fill and I'm back in a tailspin. My pdoc won't take this back and order Aurobindo since that worked as well as the Leading I'd been getting for about 4 months. He says he won't write a new script due to it being a control substance.

I'm sold on the fact it depends on what part of the country were in. Cause they were filling my script at the main VA in my state (out west). Now it's back to coming from Tennessee.

These tools keep buying whatever they can to save on cost. So now I'm back to trying to stay awake all day. Stuff just knocks me out. I was able to do a reduction from 6mgs a day down to 4mgs. Now I'm back in a hole.

With the new administration taken over the VA/military bases will go back to trying to take us Vets off it all together. Things were a lot different when a republican was in charge. Just something I've seen for years. Sure hope I'm wrong this time.

But I'm truly sold that Leading/Major is different across the states. Sure wished mylan would come back. I'm getting too old for this mess.

Been meaning to say the person that was trying to say Leading was a placebo all I can say is really dude! Any idea how many of us would be in the hospital or having seizures. I can't even skip a dose without problems. That comment was just plain nonsense.

Hope y'all are staying safe and well with this covid deal. Peace!

Re: Richard (# 151)

Was switched to Leading after my Rite Aid in NJ switched from Activis 3 weeks ago (temporarily I hope). Not quite as effective as effective, but for me not terrible. I know Teva had a shortage, but product is supposed to start shipping this month.
