Is there a difference in effects between taking ATIVAN and the GENERIC-ATIVAN?

Is there a difference is effects between the generic and the brand name ATIVAN? Thanks for your help.

Chosen Answer:

I’ve been taking generic ativan (lorazapam) to treat anxiety for several years now and it works exactly the same way the brand name worked. I have haved thousands of dollars over the years since switching to the generic.

    No, there is no difference. They all have the same active chemical, lorazepam. The inactive ingredients that bind the pills together will not be the same, but they have no effect on your body. If it didn’t have the same effect the federal drug administration would not let them sell it as the same thing.

    None-except the cost.

    No they will be exactly the same~but the cost should be cheaper for the generic brand.
