Teva Lorazepam Reviews
(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.

I found a nearby Walgreens with Teva but the problem with them is they have a pharmacist who makes one wait 30 days for renewal..it means a little paperwork if you pick up a day or two early in NJ but perfectly legal. With 31 days in July and August a 30 day prescription loses a days worth of meds each 31 day month....so i go a day early but he's stubborn....

Walgreens has Teva and Leading. I prefer Teva.

I used to use Walmart but
they were totally not getting lorazapam at all. Now they get a lot of there drugs from India. Maybe the brand you can get is from India. ??

Not sure how to start a new topic that I can get a quick response on. My pharmacy has stopped ordering Teva in favor of ANI manufacturer of lorazepam. Has anyone heard of it or can attest to it's effectiveness? In researching (came up empty) the google ai said that Teva is considered one of worst lorazepam generics and here I thought it was one of the best...closer to the old Watson than to say, Leading....but I'm to put my latest prescription in tomorrow...my choices are ANI and Leading...ugh! Any advice?

Hmmm (I think I've said on one of the lorazepam questions or more that Teva can be OK or downright dreadful. Frinstance their liquid filled temazepam gelcaps are excellent but I would avoid any med they bought from Auden McKenz such as clonazepam or dexamphetamine like plague. I wouldn't touch their bromazepam either. The best lorazepams are for sure surprising: Hemopharm 2.5mg light blue Generics from Serbia, MP61 pink 2.5mg pink oval (oblongish?) whose maker escapes me and the Indian Pfizer Ativan v small peach tabs, 30 per blister, but which are sadly inderstrength at only 2mg each. Odd strength - why skimp on the common 2.5mg? 3mg white ones from the same country called Lorus-3 & Lorfel-3 are about the same efficacy as the normal 2.5mg Rx strength but very fast acting and CHEAP!!

For flunitrazepam stick with Roche 542s for 1mg but the PCH & EG 2mg generics from Netherlands are as good as 15mg Dormicum or Flormidal midazolam, though maybe TOO long lasting, giving the first couple of hours next morning à little woozy or hazy...

Re: Judi (# 692)

It’s been a rollercoaster the last couple of months: Leading, then Sun Pharma, then Aurobindo (2 months), now back to Leading. All seem to work the same for me after a few days. Teva had always worked best for me.

I find Teva the best. Leading is garbage but Walgreens won't order for me anymore so dealing with Leading and it's a daily issue. Watson was my favorite which I think Teva bought.

I had this drug dispensed to me at an alcohol detox years ago. It did a good job of easing acute alcohol withdrawal. I wasn't given any at discharge or an Rx so I resumed my acute withdrawal symptoms at home. Librium is a better drug for this anyway.

Larry Michael (# 686) --

hey Larry if your experiencing that many withdrawal symptoms your cutting to much at one time you should look into micro tapering with water as that is the smoothest way to do it .... or you can find a compounding pharmacy in your area who can do it for you

Here in NJ March 2025, Teva 2mg Lorazepam appears very difficult to find in Walgreens and CVS.

Re: Richard H (# 672)

Hi Richard and all the old school posters on here! I was on this site a long time ago and wanted to give you an update. I was on the originally Watson and it was the only one that worked for me and I had a bad reason to Sandoz Leading, Actavis, and Leading. I was on Lorazepam for 18 years and got so scared when my pharmacist said Watson is gone, no more! I switched to Xanax and had a bad reaction and was determined to find a solution. I finally found a benzo literate doc to help me taper and I’m currently in my 28th mo of tapering using diazepam. I cross-tapered in one week (I had only about 8 mg left of lorazepam). I had at least 100-200 different withdrawal symptoms and it has been a roller coaster. Any of you stuck facing either leading or Teva lorazepam and you’ve had bad experiences like myself, I suggest you guys make the switch! I can help you guys if anyone needs it!

Re: Leebs (# 685)

We need two things..for older compassionate docs to hang in there and for them to teach that same compassion to younger docs who have misunderstood and think their licenses are under threat if they prescribe benzos. RFK jr. is certainly not going to help the situation....instead he should concentrate on his own issues.

Richard, my Doc is out of state. I have seen a Psych Doc in Manasquan who seems pretty compassionate. Will keep you posted if I hear anything else.

Re: bilbo (# 680)

We're all different..some hate/love Leading, others like myself think Teva is as good as the old Watson....its all not only in the genetics but in the fillers that make the active ingredient work.

Don't want to ask anything personal but by any chance is your doc in Clifton? I'll let you know if I find someone too.

Re: Richard H (# 679)

Richard, can your Psych Doc refer you to someone? I’m in the same boat, Doc is retiring next year. If I hear anything I’ll try and let you know (not sure what kind of communication is permitted). I’m also in New Jersey and similar situation.

Re: Richard H (# 679)

Can your Psych Doc refer you to anyone. Obviously you’ve been a responsible patient . I’ll be facing the same situation in 2 years. Also in NJ. If I hear of anyone I’ll let you know.
