Teva Lorazepam Reviews (Page 34)
(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: Twig7 (# 4)

After emailing Mylan with my concerns, they called the very next morning and said the nationwide backorder will be filled and back on the market as of May 21. So hoping my refill on June 4 will be back to the 1 mg without this disruption. I have severe panic attacks and also weaning off pain meds I feel I just can do with a much lower dose now, so the Ativan is much needed for two major issues. I was promised they filled 0.5 mg lorazepam to replace the 1 mg twice a day and when I got home realized it was Watson and not Mylan. I am extremely upset that they lied to me, but Watson did have a good reputation before then. Through this site I found out Watson is no longer making lorazepam so either Sandoz or Actavis is making it and stamping with Watson’s label... Good luck.

I will keep you all posted whether Mylan brings back the 1mg tabs. As I posted last week and on another thread they still have .5mgs and the 2mgs. My best advice is to try your local mom & pop pharmacies. They are more likely to purchase the brand you need. The larger chain pharmacies have to stick with what corporate tells them to buy I'm assuming. I have never been able to get any major Pharmacy chain to get what I needed. Wal-Mart did one time with a different drug but they weren't crazy about doing it. The other thing is asked who you find to order what you need say in the case of Mylan if they'll either get the .5mg or 2mg tables and have your gp or pdoc write the script accordingly. That's why I'm doing as of now. It you hafta split the tablets up so be it. But Mylan hasn't stop making their brand. Wish you all the best.

Absolutely correct!! Watson was okay, but Sandoz bought them out and they’re now garbage also. Mylan is supposedly putting back on market the end of this month.

I've been taking Mylan Lorazepam 1mg for 4 years, and never had a problem. Last month my pharmacy changed to Leading Pharma Lorazepam and they do not work at all. I can't sleep and they do not relieve my anxiety. I might as well be taking nothing. Has anyone else had a problem with this brand?

Re: winjy (# 3)

I had been given Activas from walgreens and it did virtually nothing. Noticed after 4 days of sleepless nights. Found a small pharmacy and the only other alternative was Leading. Well after two days of hyper feelings, heart palpitations and prickly skin, I'm never going to take this again. Going to my Dr this week and will attempt some other affordable form of ativan even if it only has 40% of whats necessary. I'm exhausted. Was on variations of generic ativan for more than 8yrs, 1mg nightly.

Re: winjy (# 3)

Mylan has not been discontinued. I talked to them directly. They have a backorder on their 1mg. tablets. Many pharmacies buy what is the less cost to them with no regards to their patients. This Leading brand just seems to have come out of nowhere. I wouldn't say it's a placebo. It either doesn't have enough of the main ingredient or the fillers don't agree with many of us. I took it and it made me sick. Mylan seems to be the only generic still working for the most part. Maybe that's why they're on backorder?

Re: Lou (# 2)

I can't take leading pharma due to serious side effect with no calming effect. CVS did not receive the return so I have to throw it away.
Mylan is better though I have night sweats and stomach acid. But my pharmacist said they can't buy mylan any more and they don't know if mylan is discontinued.

I called or visited 30 pharmacies in LA but none sell mylan.

Leading Pharma lorazepam is a placebo. I’m convinced. Just left my pharmacist. I was using Mylan but not anymore. Guess how much it costs to switch to non generic lorazepam. 3,300 a month if insurance doesn’t cover it. Step aside apple and Microsoft. We now have Leading Pharma to carry the ball. I was fine w Milan and felt the difference. All I get w Leading Pharna are night sweats, dry throat and stomach ache. Another huge corporate rip off

It really varies from person to person, so there is not specific best pill that you can be told about.

The FDA warns that Lorazepam carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as dizziness, headache, nausea, mood changes, and irritability.

What are the markings on the tablets you are currently taking? Can you please post back and clarify, so I can research more details for you?
