What Do I Do Now?
UpdatedI have severe hypertension. I am 76 yrs old. I am allergic to most BP medicine, with horrible side effects. I am on clonidine three times a day with a 1 mg lorazepam. It was working well until my pharmacy changed manufacturers. I was getting Sandoz. Since I have had Qualitest and Watson generic and they do absolutly nothing, even if I take 3 at a time. I have called all around and nobody sells Sandoz. My insurance will not pay for the real thing and 60 pills cost 700.00 dollars. How can I get Sandoz again ?

Hello, Caroline! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.
Since the Lorazepam is a controlled substance that is commonly abused, you most likely didn't get an honest answer from the pharmacies that you called. They have no way of knowing if the person calling is a legitimate customer with a need, or a potential thief, so they will just say that they don't carry whatever you're asking about. Thus, you actually need to go to the pharmacies and ask, in person, with your prescription in hand.
The only other suggestion I can make is that you talk to your doctor about trying a different benzodiazepine. Have you ever tried any other others, such as Xanax?
