What Is The Manufacturer Of The Lorazepam With A "v"?

I've been taking the form of lorazepam identified by a "v" on one side and "4008" on the other for years. Recently I switched pharmacies and they gave me a NOTICEABLY different version, manufactured by "Watson labs" ("Watson" on one side and "1/241" on the other). I might as well be taking placebos even though it's the same dosage.
My doctor told me that manufacturers can vary in the make-up of the pill by almost 2% and still legally call it the same dosage/drug, so what I'm feeling (nothing) may really be due to the difference in manufacturer.
I want to go to my new pharmacy & ask if they can fill my prescription with the pills from this other manufacturer, but I don't know who manufactures it. I suppose I can just bring one of my old pills but it would be more helpful if I had more info.

As permitted under the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, they can actually differ by plus or minus 20% of the active ingredient, not just 2%, unfortunately. The FDA considers that an acceptable therapeutic window.
That said, if you want to ask about being able to get the prior ones you were taking, they are manufactured by Qualitest Pharmaceuticals. The V was originally the logo for Vintage Pharmaceuticals, but they were purchased by Qualitest.
The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
Is there anything else I can help with?
