Teva Lorazepam Reviews (Page 37)

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.

Def something wrong with leading..i felt like i was withdrawing when i took it.. didn't realize they had quit making Qualitest and didn't realize they just stuck me with leading only to find out EVERY pharmacy around here only offers leading unless you can find a pharmacy that will special order for you, which i did... but i believe my brand has changed in the last few years.. id rather use teva..

That's where I get Teva.
So far they are ordering for me.

My Doctor put on script Teva only.

Ive been on this for 30 plus years and I was fine in Minnesota getting it. My doctor gave it to me, and then we moved to Arizona, we were snow birds. We moved out here full-time and that's when the trouble hit it's like what is going on. It was 2018 I think. To make a long story short. I really want to move back to California. The Central Coast, what's holding me back is trying to find someone that would give me this medicine and it's difficult. I've called a couple psychology places. I have to go up there and have an appointment and talk to them and get records transferred. Oh boy anyway fun and games.

Re: Judy (# 722)

For some reason doctors seem to have forgotten the concept of "do no harm".. if a patient has been taking a certain prescribed effective medicine, it just cruel to take them off it in order to "try" something "they" think is as or more effective against anxiety. I saw this happen with SSRI's. They may be effective for some but not many benzo users. Any anti anxiety effects from SSRI's are side effects. People I know whose doctors have switched them to avoid the paperwork involved with benzodiazepines have found the SSRI's ineffective after a fashion AND they become addictive. So where was the gain? Oh, the doctors have less paperwork and the patient has to find a doctor educated enough to know certain meds are far more effective (benzos) for treating anxiety. Yes, they are both physically and mentally addictive but shouldn't that choice be left up to the patient? A close friend has had type 2 diabetes for years. He says his body is 'addicted' to Metformin. Yet no one complains.

Re: Richard H (# 723)

Well, the inevitable has happened. My psychiatrist and prescriber of 2mg lorazepam 3x day is retiring. Online prescribers won't touch my prescription plus the fact I am 79. Even though i've been on this same dose for 42 years, never needed more and never abused it, I am my paraplegic wife's sole caregiver, i maintain both house and garden, do all the cooking, shopping and wash, bathe my wife and help her transfer from wheelchair to stepchair....despite being able to do all this; I am considered a risk. That sucks. If I cannot find a provider it not only ends my life but also my wife's. We've been married 56 years and because those in congress cannot believe there are people out there that don't abuse drugs, they consider the lifesaving benzodiazepine a substance to be controlled so some fools don't abuse them. I'm disgusted and a bit frightened of the future.

Re: Richard H (# 723)

I want to make something clear..in my reply I stated "If I cannot find a provider it not only ends my life but also my wife's."...what I meant is - "If I cannot find a provider, it would devastate both our lives. I don't know how I could continue caring for my wife and home, and I don't know what would happen to us. It would end the life we have known".

Re: Richard H (# 725)

Richard, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. My first question is your current doctor planning on just making you stop “cold turkey” from 6mg a day when he closes his practice? Sudden discontinuation can cause life-threatening seizures and severe withdrawal symptoms like convulsions, or loss of consciousness. Frankly I’m appalled that your doctor didn’t speak to colleagues and find a new doctor for you. If you are made to stop abruptly YOU MUST GO TO AN EMERGENY ROOM AT A HOSPITAL. They have to treat you and find you an outpatient physician to follow up. I am assuming your are on Medicare. The hospital will be forced to deal with this directly.

Re: John B (# 726)

Called the office. Got news that my dr. is handing (at least some of his patients which I am one) over to a psychiatric nurse practitioner who I am told will handle medical management. He has only been in practice for a few years but if capable I won't have any issues with that at all. I just hope he is committed for the long term. Thanks for your response, John.
