> But the sublingual you had was name brand, or generic?
The sublingual was the generic lorazepam. The tablets dissolved under the tongue quickly and took effect quickly, and were just as effective as the name brand Ativan (which was not sublingual -- I was instructed to swallow those tablets). Not all generic lorazepam is equally effective, though -- when traveling abroad I bought a different manufacturer's lorazepam, and I had to take twice as much to get the desired effect.
