Leading Pharma Lorazepam Reviews (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I am really confused about everyone's posts concerning the leading brand Lorazepam. I have been taking the generic form of Lorazepam 2mg for 25 years. I've used every kind, from Watson to the current leading one. It appears that the sugary taste is the primary issue for everyone here.

The amount of negative reviews about this company is absurd. They are no different than any other generic Lorazepam; they work the same. The only difference in this pill is the inactive ingredient, which contains potassium, and that's why the pill tastes like sugar.

However, my point is, if you are a long-term user of benzos, you would have all ended up withdrawing and possibly seizing if the pill really didn't contain the main ingredient. The ER doctor would have been the first to report this pharmacy if your illness had anything to do with it. A negative review does nothing to persuade a discontinued manufacturer to bring back the generic form that any of us got comfortable with.

A Lorazepam is a Lorazepam, and the Leading Pharma Lorazepam is the same as any Lorazepam. It functions just like the rest.

Re: Krissy (# 80)

Where I live (NJ) there appears to be only two options....Leading and Teva.... i prefer Teva if for no other reason, it takes up less space in a pill dispenser. I'd say their effectiveness is about the same for me...but everyone is different. My favorite was the pre-2013 Watson.

Hello, so which brand do you recommend being the most effective out of the generic bunch? I’m having the same issues as everyone else. Ty.

I'm having difficulty trying to find out how to start a new thread so i hope no one minds if i ask this here....If your prescription is for 90 days (that's 270 tablets 3xday)....what happens over time when 7 months have 31 days (minus Feb' 28...still equals 5 days or 15 tablets short every year........the prescribing doc looked blank when I asked him......the pharmacist shrugged his shoulders......bet he wouldn't if he ever was washing out near the end of a prescription before its renewed. Do they ever give extra to cover the longer months?

Re: jmb70 (# 16)

Oh please. These drugs are regulated. You just happen to see that it was a different manufacturer and your anxiety ridden mind went to left field. If it wasn't lorazepam you would have seized up.

Re: Nn (# 46)

It's good you filed a complaint with the FDA. I don't know about other Leading products - but they are scamming people with their Lorazepam. It's like a bad penny you can't get rid of.

Re: Briards (# 73)

My pharmacy was ordering Aurobindo but I've had to change pharmacies recently (new job, new Rx insurance) and I ended up on Leading again. They don't work at all. My fault for not flagging the pharmacist before it was filled. Good luck.

Re: Judi (# 66)

Besides “holistic” how do you find a doctor who can diagnose the med you are prescribed? I have never heard of this, live in California, maybe this is something that other countries do???????? Thank you.??

Re: Cody (# 68)

Leading was the worst for me. I would take twice as many to no effect though I felt nasty the next day. Aurobindo is bad too but doesn’t make me feel gross like Leading. I think they’ve all taken a downturn in the last couple of years.

Re: Judi (# 67)

your right about leading, and after waiting a year to find a drug store who carries aribindo, i was disappointed in finding it was garbage like most of the other brands, almost all the lorazepam makers put something in their product that works to deal with the anxiety but it also will not let me fall asleep, so i finally go to sleep around 4 am but i wake up at 7 am, im trading one problem for another

Re: BMn (# 38)

Did you like the leading brand better? I just got leading generic ativan instead of aurobindo. Aurobindo was garbage.

Re: Bn85 (# 64)

I tried telling my pharmacist that the leading pharma was lousy, and he said "I was the only customer who complained about them." Which I know is not true. He was not cooperative. Most pharmacies only carry them, because most of the good companies don't anymore. I think that is, because Leading Pharma is cheaper & uses less active ingredients than the others. They make me feel lousy.

I do not agree. I took Qualitest for 5 years & it was great. No side effects & even my holistic doctor tested it on her diagnostic machine & was amazed that it balanced me out more than her natural products. Well, of course, they discontinued them (heartbroken) and was put on the Leading Pharma. They tested badly on her machine & she told me NOT to take them & threw the bottle across the room. I already was dependent on taking them & still do to this day, 7 years later. They do have side effects now, because they aren't working as well, but I did feel the difference in the quality next to the Qualitest, and they are not all created equal...sorry...
