Teva Lorazepam Reviews (Page 6) (Top voted 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.

My Costco last refill switched to Leading....new prescription went back to actavis......Only difference i see is Leading is thicker.......if I concentrate on it...if I believe Leading isn't as effective...it won't be......totally different feeling than i first had with both......when I first trued either...neither one seemed as good as the original Watson (before 2014)....now I try not to dwell on it...they seem okay......considering i've been on Ativan (original) and generic ativan for over 35 years.

Re: JP (# 142)

I finally found a pharmacy that had a supplier other than Leading Pharma. It's a CVS Caremark-run, used to be Eaton so maybe people who are having problems with Leading could try them. Mine is Aurobindo. They work just like I am used to Lorazepam working. I have not heard back on my FDA complaint.

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: 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.

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.

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.

Sure, I'll let you know. It's such a pain....hate being at the mercy of the pharmacies. :(

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 (# 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 (# 173)

Jen, I'm talking about before the coronavirus pandemic. I've been trying to find someone that's a good fit. The one that I found has wide open availability. (Yes this therapist was found in the pandemic range)

I'm wondering if you missed the part where I was being heckled for using 4 mg of Lorazepam. (First 15+ minutes of the session). Along with being called codependent because of being overwhelmed by the loss of family. I never said here that I started reading the book and said great there's like 100+ traits of codependency. Imagine what that did to my psyche.

Like I said in my last messages everyone is trigger happy these days. Yes these personalities are being triggered by the coronavirus. People's nerves are unraveled.

When I see somebody out here that's overwhelmed by their circumstances I don't come out here and make them feel worst. I just read the feed and try if I can to show some compassion.

But yah ya know?

Re: Lou (# 2)

See it really is different for everyone. Mylan by far was the best!!! I reacted well to leading pharma when compared to activus. Just keep switching until you find one that works. Good luck. You could always stack with buspar if your doctor can prescribe it for you.

I'm having the same problem and I just received a refill of the 0.5 MG by Leading Pharma. It's a pure placebo. The pills aren't even scored for splitting. I don't know what brand I took previously, but I only take .25 MG for a dosage. It's for stress and chronic hives and they choose to give me sugar pills. Not working.

Re: Henry (# 183)

Aurobindo or Aurolife is garbage. I take 2 mg and the purity is less than 1 mg.

Re: Leebs (# 188)

As a follow up to the Teva/actavis discussion... Just picked up my new prescription yesterday at Costco.....Teva bought out Actavis.....now the misused "Watson" no longer appears on the Actavis-bought by Teva 2mg tabs. Just "TV". Seems some Teva lorazepam is produced in Israel but most is produced in the United States....according to "hey Googles" find relating to Teva lorazepam.

Re: BeccaD 333 (# 201)

I had some suspicions it might not but i mixed some with the old Actavis 'watson' then had my wife distribute them in my weekly pill case but she noted where she put them and I made sure i never looked.....utterly no difference that i could tell...in fact a couple days i felt pretty good and i asked my wife if those days were Teva..she said yes....

Re: Twig7 (# 4)

I was on the verge of sending my Leading tablets to a lab for testing, it was so bad. One thing I’ve wondered about is if some companies are introducing a time-release agent into the medication. My wife was given some Norco after a bad fall but got no pain relief…just a bad headache (this was in 2019).
I truly believe that this country’s obsession with assigning a negative stigma to these meds has produced liability-driven decisions.
Not for nothing but we need to stop calling a customer the pharmacist’s “patients”; they’re not doctors.
