@frouke Have you asked your prescribing medical provider to prescribe the name brand of Ativan? It could cost you more and sometimes insurance won't cover the name brand when a generic is available. The reason I suggest this is that when I was prescribed a specific antidepressant in the 1990's my psychiatrist said that he had seen some differences in his patients who took generic brands. So, he prescribed the name brand for me. Fortunately at the time my insurance covered it.

What do you think about this suggestion?

I actually did try the name brand to see if it was better than generic brands, the outcome was that they felt the same to me.. I remember thinking that this was good otherwise I would have to change my meds. I’m usually okay with these meds but since I had covid there has been a few glitches with different things. Thank you for offering me helpful options, I appreciate it.
