I've been taking Watson Pharmaceuticals Lorazepam and it worked great. Apparently, Actavis just took over Watson, and Watson no longer exists. I'm looking for another bran of Lorazepam that has the same Active & Inactive ingredients as the Watson brand, however, I can't locate the info on line and my pharmacy won't help me. Does anyone know what other manufacturer carries Lorazepam that is exactly the same as the Watson brand. Actavis and Sandoz manufacturer's Lorazepam does not work.

Your 100% right about Sandoz and Watson was the best. The best generic I've taken was Greenstone and Mylan. I don't know where you live but if you can get to a Walgreens have your Dr DAW (dispense as written) your script you'll get name brand for $0

Hi Ghost,

Greenstone and Mylan are brands of Lorazepam that you feel are effective. I'll check them out. How does someone get them for $0 at Walgreens??? Sounds too good to be true, will check out.

Have been taking Watson 2 mg Ativan for years, always worked very well, subtle and effective. Debossed "Watson" one side, 242 - 2 on the other. Latest script from Walgreens says "Manufacturer- Actavis" on label, but the tablets look the same except maybe a bit rougher around the edges. It's like it's not even the same medication.

Checked into this and saw a web photo of a recent label from the stock bottle -- "Made In India," I believe by Ranbaxy, which has always been real crap -- and I think the price went UP for this.

That's what I thought also. CVS wanted $400 for 60 cnt. Try ACTIVIS MFR they were bought out by WATSON and everyone knows they were the best. If you want next time you get ur script, make the Dr. write DAW (dispense as written), bread to Walgreens.Remember, their policy is 30 days minimum from last pick up. Make them last.Hope I shed some light.

Hi, I was amazed to find out that my local Costco Pharmacy does carry (still, not sure for how much longer) Watson brand of Lorazepam. My MD e-scripted an RX to them. The Costco Pharmacy Mail Order doesn't carry Watson anymore.

Hi Anxious,

YOW. Made in India. I'll have to check what I get from Costco that is supposed to be Watson. I thought the Actavis Lorazepam has to have ACTAVIS on the label...???

It's simply outrageous that Ativan even with a 75% discount is sooooooo expensive. Shame on the whole industry for how they treat people and their needs.

I called the activis company the medication is the same I could only take Watson but when they bought the company they didn't change the formula at all. you won't have an issue taking it. the NDC number never changed. Hope this helps.

JMK, HI! I just got my Lorazepam yesterday & wasn't too happy when I saw Actavis made them & decided to give them a chance to work 1st b4 I get negative. I take 2mg 4x a day cause of extremely high anxiety. Well, I used to take Watson too but they took too long to kick in, by the 2nd day taking Actavis I noticed they worked much faster & I have a very high tolerance. Maybe, give them a chance b4 assuming they don't work just because thry're not Watson. Hope it works 4 u...

I took Watson generic lorazepam for 6 years. I was then given Mylan, and noticed an immediate difference. I noticed heartburn (GERD) and that it was not working.

I switched to another pharmacy that gave me Sandoz lorazepam.

To me personally, they were the exact same as the old Watson's. I (now) prefer Sandoz generic Adderall IR
because they work, and are the most like Watson.
