I'm in the U.S. I'm sorry, Fred, for sowing confusion -- I should have qualified my prior post: I was taking generic lorazepam, not brand-name Ativan. I've read that (presumably because of the different pharmacokinetics) a number of folks found the Ativan to be more effective than generic lorazepam. However, after trying each of them I did not perceive any noticeable difference in effect, so I went for the less expensive generic. I can't recall which company's generic I was taking, though -- and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that some generics are as effective as the brand name while others are not.
