EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionTeva 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.

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionHave 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

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionChildhood 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

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionThe 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.

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionI 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

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionI 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

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionI'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

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionAs 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.

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 husband was 38 years old and committed suicide from taking Ativan.
It was taken in combination with Welbutrin for depression. Do not take these two together..the ativan made him have body tremors, nervousness, and horrible suicidal thoughts. Do not take Ativan and you become addicted within one month. He was taking it for three months and couldn't handle life anymore.

Currently cognitive problems, anxiety and depression have totally affected my life. I would not recommend this med, especially long term (once u start, tough to quit). Eat healthy, exercise and practice mindfulness and meditation and have a healthy work/life balance (wish I has taught this stuff earlier in life, before life problems caught up to me).

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionI've taken Ativan for a couple months now.
I'm on 0.5mg twice a day and they saved my life. It's like a huge weight is lifted off my chest and I can feel normal for once. I like Ativan because they don't have noticeable side effects and I don't feel like a zombie during the day when I take them. I personally dont like the way Zanax makes me feel but these I can work and function on. I wanted to find a medicine without all of the crazy side effects and I found it in Ativan. If it does make you sleepy to me it's not as bad as being tired from not sleeping from aniexty. At this point what in life isn't addicting and if it helps you then call it whatever uou want.

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionI only take one as need maybe once a week tops, on my high anxiety or high stress days, it makes me feel normal, stops my mind from racing. Iâ??ve tried so many things, and nothing has helped like this. Although, after the pill has worn off mid day I do feel so tired and drained, but that makes it easier to sleep through the night, which I usually struggle due to insomnia. I feel it makes me a more emotionally stable person when I take it.

EffectivenessEase of UseSatisfactionI was prescribed 2mg Ativan 3 times a day. I was getting this drug to help me with panic attacks and anxiety. I didnâ??t get any directions, warnings or contradictions. I just didnâ??t even think of asking, he was the educated psychiatrist so I trusted him. Well my anxiety was through the roof and the Ativan was not working so I would take an extra one..then another and it still wasnâ??t working, I had built up a tolerance for them. It was the weekend so I said I was going to call him on Monday. When I got a hold of him, told him how much I was taking and he said that I needed to go to detox ASAP that if I didnâ??t I would have seizures.
He was right, I almost died in that detox facility. I never ever have been in such physical pain and so sick. It was benzos, it might feel good at first but long term use even a month on 0.5 mg you will pay the price. Had I been told this before I would have never ever taken it.

Arpimed
Tell your doctor if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
It is especially important to note the following drugs:
If necessary, your doctor will reduce the dose of these drugs before you use lorazepam.
Avoid alcohol while taking lorazepam as this may increase the sedative properties of the drug.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking Lorazepam before using any other medicines or when you are hospitalized. nine0003
Some elderly patients may experience dizziness and fainting after taking Lorazepam.
When taking Lorazepam, there is a risk of developing addiction, which can lead to a gradual decrease in effectiveness after several weeks of taking Lorazepam.
Lorazepam has the potential to develop dependence, particularly in patients with a history of alcohol and/or recreational drug abuse.
With the usual regimen of lorazepam, the development of dependence is unlikely, but the risk increases with increasing dose and duration of treatment, as well as in patients with a history of alcohol and / or recreational drug abuse, or in patients with a personality disorder.
Therefore, lorazepam should be avoided in patients with a history of alcohol and/or recreational drug abuse. nine0003
Dependence can lead to the development of a withdrawal syndrome, especially when treatment is stopped abruptly. Therefore, it is necessary to cancel the drug gradually.
When taking lorazepam for more than 4 weeks, your doctor should conduct a study of the peripheral blood picture, as well as a biochemical blood test for liver markers, since drugs in this group can lead to impaired liver function.
Long-term use of Lorazepam may lead to the development of drug dependence. Therefore, Lorazepam is usually prescribed in short courses lasting from several days to 4 weeks, including a period of dose reduction and drug withdrawal. This reduces the risk of developing drug dependence or adverse side effects observed when the drug is discontinued. (See section "Cancellation of Lorazepam"). nine0003
The dose of Lorazepam should be increased gradually to avoid side effects.
How to take Lorazepam
Lorazepam should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you have any doubts, then you should consult with your doctor.
When Lorazepam is used to treat anxiety and insomnia, treatment usually lasts from a few days to 4 weeks, including a period of dose reduction and drug withdrawal.
The physician should prescribe the lowest effective dose, calculated for the shortest possible period of taking the drug.
Lorazepam tablets should be swallowed with water.
Adults and children over 13 years of age
For anxiety, the daily dose of Lorazepam is 1-4 mg taken in divided doses. Your healthcare provider will determine how often you should take Lorazepam. It is not recommended to take Lorazepam to children under 12 years of age with anxiety. nine0003
For sleep disturbances, 1-2 mg Lorazepam at bedtime is prescribed. Before taking the drug, you must be sure that you can sleep for 7-8 hours.
Lorazepam 2-3 mg is given the night before surgery and 2-4 mg 1-2 hours before surgery.
Children 5 to 13 years old
For surgery, the dose is usually 0.5-2.5 mg (depending on your child's weight) taken one hour before the procedure. nine0003
Lorazepam is not recommended for use in children 5 to 13 years of age for the treatment of anxiety and sleep disorders, and in children under 5 years of age.
Elderly
The physician should prescribe lorazepam to elderly or malnourished patients at low doses.
The drug may be effective at half or even less than the recommended dose in elderly patients, but if necessary, the dose should be adjusted. nine0003
Patients with renal and hepatic insufficiency
In case of impaired renal function or mild to moderate hepatic insufficiency, Lorazepam is allowed to be taken only in low doses.
Lorazepam is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment.
If you forget to take Lorazepam
If you forget to take Lorazepam to treat anxiety and if less than 3 hours have passed from your scheduled appointment time, you should take it as soon as you remember. If more than 3 hours have passed from the appointed time, do not worry, take the next dose at the appointed time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. nine0003
If you forget to take Lorazepam to treat a sleep disorder, take it if you are sure you can sleep for 7-8 hours after taking the drug.
If you have taken more Lorazepam than recommended
If you have taken more Lorazepam than prescribed by your doctor, get medical help right away, call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital. Take the medicine package with you, even if there are no pills left. nine0003
Stopping Lorazepam
After completing the prescribed course of treatment, your doctor will decide whether to continue further treatment.
The dose and frequency of lorazepam should be reduced gradually until the drug is discontinued. This allows your body to adjust to the absence of Lorazepam and reduce the risk of adverse effects when the drug is discontinued. Your doctor will explain to you how to do this. nine0003
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Withdrawal
Abrupt discontinuation of Lorazepam may result in withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, muscle pain, anxiety, tension, depression, restlessness, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, irritability, confusion, confusion agitation, tremors, abdominal pain, heart rhythm disturbances, short-term memory loss, fever, and sweating. Possible relapse of insomnia. If you have any of these symptoms, contact your doctor. nine0003
Do not stop taking Lorazepam suddenly. This can lead to more severe withdrawal symptoms such as loss of sense of reality, feelings of unreality or detachment from everyday life, loss of the ability to feel emotions.
Some patients experience numbness or tingling of the hands or feet, vomiting, ringing in the ears, muscle twitches, hallucinations, seizures, and hypersensitivity to light, sound, and touch. If you have any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately. nine0003
