I've been taking this medication for years. This December I got my refill and I noticed that the smell was different almost like paint thinner. I always put 1 under my tongue and let it dissolve but it would not dissolve I had to chew it up which I never had to do. I'm on 2mg three times a day when I took the first pill it made my anxiety worse I don't know what kind of pills they are but they are definitely not real I've been having very bad withdrawal symptoms and I'm shaking can't focus can't sleep I'll call and talk to my pharmacist and I've a doctors appointment on Tuesday I can't wait I will never ever use this brand again.

Teva 2mg is fake pill. I pay for these monthly..been taking them my whole life. I rely on them medically. The pills I bought for dec 2022 are placebo. This is upsetting that the medication we are prescribed is not what it is. Ridiculous. Needs investigated.

Have been taking nortryptiline for many years against mild depression which provided stability and balance. Had major surgery and chemo 4 years ago and was given Ativan/lorazepam for sleep. Kept it for a few months after leaving the hospital then was able to discontinue it, then had more sleeplessness so started again. Taking 1/2 of 1mg tablet most nights. Tried taking even smaller dosage but sleep got worse. Seemed the med was not helping me, skipped it but on second day was awake until 6am. Took 1/2 mg last night and was able to sleep. It works but is a benzodiazepine therefore difficult to withdraw. My PCP only lets me have 14 pills at a time, thinks side effects and addiction are a risk. Works well most of the timeRead More Read Less

Childhood anxiety to now Md now I’m 50. Took several natural supplements and even Xanax about 12 years ago. Then one day recently had a AFIB attack doe to dehydration a heat exhaustion at work. Heart racing 188 and nothing helped. Not even this message. But after four hours on the ER and IVs of whatever it finally went back to normal and no need for heart restarting meds????. Anyway, after doctor asked about my anxiety and what I was taking he said well you need to treat that and the panic attacks. It’s apart of you’re quality of life. I had hurt suffered through before so anyway he put me in this lorazepam as needed. Wow it worked instantly. So when I get anxiety I take I quarter of 1 mg and heart slows down nerves calm I mean it’s fast acting. I don’t take pills just for my GERD, and anxiety meds no thanks but his works great. ??????Read More Read Less

In 2007 I had a stroke at 44. It left me with terrible anxiety. So they gave me an antianxiety med for long term plus lorazepam. It works wonders and I have been on it for 15 years. Just taken as needed.

The new Teva brand does not work. Teva bought Actavis and kept making the Actavis Watson tablets for years. Now they are doing in-house production, and the tablets don't work. The other generics on the market seem to be bad as well. Mylan and Qualitest worked. The ones left do not seem to. Actavis Watson was good.

I have Anxiety and Panic Attacks. The Dr. started me on Paxil. I took it for 10 days and was extremely tired, sick to my stomach and very shaky I stopped Paxil and started Ativan 0 5mg.
I only take when needed, maybe 2 times a week. It works perfect for me. I can do things I couldn't do before Ativan. Paxil stressed me out knowing 1 side effect is weight gain of 15Lbs or more. No way!! Anyway Ativan helped me. I take it during the day when needed. I take Melatonin at night to sleep. All is well!!!Read More Read Less

Lorazepam is the only med that works for me.Tried Ambien, Trazadone, Doxepin before for a short time.Did not work plus terrible side effects.Lorazepam puts me on a smooth ride throughout the day plus easy 7-8 hour sleep for night.No sude effects just a little calmness if you have anxiety plus great sleep with no nightmares.Withaut Lorazepam i can only a few hours.

I was having major issues sleeping and dealing with anxiety. My therapist prescribed me Lorazepam before bed to help me fall asleep and rest. Before the medication, I would feel tired but not fall asleep. There was a point I went four nights without sleep and was miserably tired. Once using the medication I was able to fall and stay asleep. Days I forgot to take the meds I would not be able to fall asleep. I used this medication for a little over a year. My depression and anxiety improved and it's been 12 years since using the meds.Read More Read Less

I've been having very severe panic and anxiety attacks for the past four years after being alive for 60. I came out of the blue when I was 56, scared the crap out of me. My vitals are perfect, CT scan, blood work all normal....Blood Pressure got up to 168/103 when this panic attack came on. Drove my self to the clinic, another panic attack. Took lorazepam and felt perfect. Not groggy, light headed, nothing. After so many years I finally found something. Not a big on pills, but it seemed nothing helps. Hopefully when I retire the stress will decrease.
Wishing you all with this disease of panic and anxiety the best, it's the fighter fight. Just don't give up. Mind over matter.Read More Read Less

As with all Drugs the effectiveness starts with the user. If your a heavy user with multiple types of drugs for the same problems (I.E. taking with Paxil etc.) you're not really gonna know how effective it is. If your not mixing it with other things it works much better.

After CVS started using this brand, I found it was not effective and did nothing. It was like all the reviews said about it...ineffective and doesn't work. This needs to be shut down immediately for fraud making pills
