Teva Lorazepam Reviews (Page 31)

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.

Your doctor is probably covering his ass in case you have a seizure from the abrupt lorazepam withdrawal.

Never hurts to have your doc submit a prior auth request to your insurance for the brand name Ativan.

That's what Walgreens told me too.....I like Teva better than Leading if for no other reason-smaller pills, smaller bottles.

Re: Gsrmike2377 (# 598)

If this Aurobindo is taking such a toll on me, is it possible that I might adjust to it? What symptoms did you have going from Watson to Teva? I take one in the morning and start the shaking and lightheadedness and pretty much feel the same after the other doses. I would try my best to ride it out if I thought I would adjust. Today it is affecting my stomach and I feel hopeless and cry alot. I had been on Teva prior to this. No problems

We've got Teva here in my state. I'm out west. Seems to be the only thing they've got. But I haven't asked around. Both Leading and Teva work about the same for me.

Re: Paula (# 603)

paula you will adjust right now your in withdrawal . when i went from watson to teva i felt terrible for 2 weeks teva felt a lot stronger to me . but in your case you got a weaker med so its like you tapered down your original dose this is why you are having the problems if it does not level off in 3 to 4 weeks you may have to take more of that brand to stabilize

Re: Jibbs55 (# 593)

Where did you find an Aurobindo chat? I have been looking but can't find anything on the internet. I want to talk with someone who is taking it and having a bad time. The pharmacy tells me that they have had no complaints but I'm sorry, I just do not believe that.

Here's my thoughts about Teva and Leading brand. I was on Teva probably over a year. It really isn't as effective as Leading brand for me. Here's why... As most of you know I'm being tapered down off from lorazepam. Yesterday I received my fill and got Leading. So I'm at a lower dose still. But this Leading is working much better then the Teva. My body is so sensitive right now that the slightest change is noticeable. But I have said in the past the two worked about the same for me. That's taking under consideration I wasn't being tapered off. Trying to be totally honest that Leading brand is not a placebo or sugar tablet. I'm perplexed that Aurobindo as a few of you have mentioned might have changed their formula. Nothing would surprise me. But dang it worked well few years ago for me. There's more stuff I'd add here but I don't want to trigger anyone what this taper is like. Also it looks like maybe they're going to back down a bit and leave me where I'm at. Can't give the details because what I said above. I did post a link to the Aurobindo chat that's on here. But the admins haven't posted it yet. Just search discussions if they don't post my last reply. Wish y'all the best!

I know Joe has had a lot of experience with Aurobindo. I believe it was he that said it changed formula. Few years ago it work awesome for me. Sure would help me now going through these withdrawals. Hope that helps.

Re: Paula (# 607)

Paula can you tell me what strength of the Aurobindo you've been giving. I'm curious because I just got a small supply today to bridge me till I get my new fill and it's 1mg Aurobindo. I kid you not it feels like what I had before in both 0.5 - 1mg. It's been years since I've felt relief. If anyone else could chime in and let me know what strength y'all have been saying has changed I'd be grateful. I've only taking one 1mg pill and I'm feeling pretty good. Fill me in guys. Peace y'all!

Re: Jibbs55 (# 611)

Mine is .5 and still making me sick every day. We have 2 psych docs at the local clinic and neither will change it for me or order another brand. All they tell me to do is go to ER. Maybe if I did they could order me something else but I really doubt that. I just am couch bound until around 8 when I can do a little. Glad to hear it's working for you. I haven't heard many say it worked for them.

Re: GSRMIKE2377 (# 571)

Just know that if you switch to valium from lorazepam you have to wean from the lorazepam. I found that out the hard way even though I told the dr that I couldn't just go from one to another. First day, I had withdrawals from the lorazepam that the valium didn't touch. They metabolize differently is the reason.

Re: Paula (# 612)

Paula, I'm so sorry that you're having to struggle with this. I need to say to you y'all are right about the Aurobindo. I spoke to soon saying it seemed the same. It's like you were saying it's totally not good at all. Joe was right about they changed the formula. I'm guessing that once the Leading brand washed out of my system the Aurobindo took over. It's hardly holding me out right now. Going into your local ER might not work for you cause it's a controlled substance and they won't write you a script. Been there once was told no. Only other avenue you might have is trying your primary care doctor. That or a walk-in clinic but they may not give you much to carry you to your next fill. Not sure how long you've been on it but maybe it might adjust. I just can't say. But again I'm sorry I thought it was the same. It is not. :( Hang in there I'm so in the same place right now. I'm sure you read I'm being taking off mine. Everyone that's in my corner isn't a person that can write me the original amount and just leave me be. Take care.

Re: Jibbs55 (# 614)

Afraid I won't be adjusting. Only have another week before refill and I am still sick every day. No appetite and constant shaking. I just wish that someone else on the same medication and manufacturer would tell me what their symptoms are or if they are feeling the same as me. My doctor is convinced it is a physical problem not he med, but I didn't have anything wrong before and each and every time I was so sick it was made by Aurobindo. This is the third time but the other times the pharmacy ordered another brand & this time there wasn't anything to give me. My doctor does not want to work with me on it. My bf thinks I am allergic to them. It is very hard to live with. I don't leave my house now. My life is certainly not the same. You hang in there, too. I belong to a group that seems to help a lot of people that are trying to taper. Maybe you could see what they offer. Lots of good people. When I find the name I will let you know.

Re: Paula (# 615)

Paula, maybe try Leading? Someone on the board said they switched their formula and Leading is good now. I am going to have to switch from Teva to Leading within 2 weeks or so because I can not find 0.5mg Teva anywhere in my city. Nobody has it.

Re: gsrmike2377 (# 616)

I just called Walgreen's and they have Teva finally. It was that or another month of Aurobindo which has made me sick literally every day since I filled the script. I did take one Teva recently that made me really shaky and anxious so I hope it was just the change from one to the other. I normally took Teva before and had some shakiness with it and no sedation effect & I have questioned if I may be allergic to lorazepam but I haven't found anyone whose ever heard of that.
