User Reviews for lorazepam oral

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

I was prescribed 0.5mg before bed. I didn’t feel anything and it hasn’t helped me asleep at all. currently i’m trying 2mg. so far haven’t been able to sleep still but am definitely feeling more relaxed. will update.

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

did nothing for me. now what

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
