Exellium Lorazepam

I’ve been taking the generic brand Mylan Lorazapam for four years. Only one that helps me live a normal life stop anxiety/ptsd/ ect. Lorazepam is also the only medication that works for me. My Doctor and I have tried everything. But horrible side effects! Mylan lorazepam has been a miracle! Sadly I just found out that mylan is discontinuing I have a partial script of .5 mylan because 1mg is already gone and the rest is Actavis! I tried one of the Actavis today and it completely zonked me out and feel so weird! Only other one they said they have is Leading. But I saw people post horrible stuff about that as well. A girl I know goes to a different pharmacy and has the exellium brand. I’ve never heard of it... has anyone taken it on the regular and do you find it’s better than the others. I don’t know what to do! The girl I know only takes it when needed not daily like me! Any help suggestions would be appreciated! This Actavis is a nightmare!

Did the pharmacy actually say it has been discontinued, or are they just not offering the product from Mylan Pharmaceuticals anymore?

The generic that a pharmacy carries, at any given time, can vary depending on what company was offering the cheapest price, via their distributor, whenever they need to restock their supply. Thus, it is possible that they only had enough of the ones from Mylan to partially fill your prescription, then they had to use a different company's product to fill the remainder.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. NDC code: 0591-0241 (Though this lists Watson, it is now being manufactured by Actavis.)

As to the best one, it really depends on what works for you, since we are all different. The only way to know how the Excellium product will work for you is by trying it.

Does anyone else have any advice or ideas to offer?
