User Reviews for lorazepam oral

This medicine has been a life saver for me and my anxiety.

Works well during the day, gives me bad dreams if I take it too close to bedtime.

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.

The other reviewers are correct. This Leading Pharma brand is fraudulent.

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

I know this is probably too quick to be putting out a review but I just started taking Lorazepam because of not being able to shut my brain down when I go to bed. I've taken it 3 nights now and suddenly I'm feeling really really miserable and depressed. I just wanna keep crying for no stupid reason at all. Is this a normal side effect??? Will this feeling go away?

My lips go numb. Brain in Anartica, freeze dry. I had no problem with Actives Phara., but Leading Pharma version had an immediate bad effect. They need to be checked for their quality.

I have been on this medication since 2011 when I had colon cancer and chemo, my anxiety level was high I couldn't sleep at night This medication worked very well for me 1.5mg once b4 bed under the tonge. Now it's 2019 my doctors have whined me off of it saying it's not good for my bones, brain ect. Its been over a month not takeing it I still don't sleep right and they won't put me back on it so I guess i'm screwed

I use lorazepam along with Paxil (paroxetine) and lorazepam is extremely helpful for me for both anxiety and falling asleep.

This medicine is like taking a placebo. My brother has the same problem with one of his meds from this manufacturer too! It's junk.

Has anyone been satisfied with lorazepam made by Leading Pharma? I’ve read some bad reviews of it on the internet but I cannot believe it doesn’t work for everyone. My pharmacist recently started carrying ONLY Leading Pharma lorazepam....so after years of taking Watson made lorazepam I’m getting a bit concerned. Any positive reviews of Leading Pharma lorazepam would be very helpful.

I am being treated for cancer. I have Multiple Myeloma. My chemo requires me to take a significant dose of steroids at each treatment. It is considered part of my Chemotherapy and cannot be lowered in dose or frequency. After my 2nd cycle of chemo, I began to experience "roid rage." At first I laughed it off and was like "OMG! This is a real thing!" The humor wore off quickly as this rage became down right dangerous and completely uncontrollable. I at the urging of the bone marrow transplant team's Psychiatrist, I started taking 5 mg of lorazepam the morning of my chemo, and in the evening after it, and then twice a day for 48 hrs I cannot express the relief that I and my family feel now. Our safety was a real concern, let alone fighting a deadly cancer. This medication simply removed the rage associated with Dexamethasone. It put me and everyone around me at ease, and is making us far more ready for the bone marrow transplant.Read More Read Less

Long term statistics?

works great for me,, tried Valium but it gave me hang overs, Lorazepam or Ativan is good

Lorazepam has been a true God-send to me for decades, as well as my mother, also for decades. It's often the ONLY thing that helps me sleep at night... without it, I can literally not sleep until 2am-3am. It's also excellent for heightened anxiety, calming the jitters and "clenched" muscle feelings.

Able to sleep better through the night. Still get up to urinate but getting more rest. Muscle spasms are occasional depending on specific or quick movements. It's only been a month and lowest dose of .5mg. Concerned about addiction......

In the morning I am foggy and I have stomach pains most of the day

I only take half of a tablet each night and it helps me to sleep. Taking it was on advice of my doctor. I do not take every night, maybe 2-3 times a week.

This is a wonderful drug for the treatment of anxiety, however, it is meant for short term use (2-3) weeks. The doctors tell you that, they do not, however, tell you what can happen if you take for a long period of time. I have been taking Lorazepam for 6 years, 1 mg/twice a day. Prior to that I was on Xanax for 10 years.I have now become tolerant and am having withdrawal symptoms. I have done quite a bit of research on this and withdrawal can last years or even decades. This drug needs to be tapered off VERY slowly for a minimum of about 10 months. Some people have terrible withdrawal symptoms for years after stopping this medication. It messes with the Gaba receptors in your brain as well as your central nervous system. Read the Ashton Manual. Doctors keep prescribing these types of drugs because they are getting kickbacks from 'Big Pharma' to do so. Do your research and get off this horrible drug if you have been on for a long time.Read More Read Less
