Question 1

can i take ativan (lorazepam) and metoprolo when i get my colonoscopy the drs office said yes to ativan (lorazepam) but im worried my bp will go way down?

Accepted Answer

Follow: Follow  your doctor's advice on this one. At the time of your colonoscopy, your blood pressure will be taken beforehand, during, and after the colonoscopy repeatedly. Your doctor and his nurses will know what to do for any eventuality. Do not let this worry keep you from having the procedure. Good luck.

Question 2

lower abdominal discomfort, ultra/ct scans, bloodwork, esr, pst, colonoscopy, celiac hla typing, celiac panel all normal. can it be ativan (lorazepam) withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

It is nonspecific sy: Your symptoms are not anything serious to justify anymore testing, as you already have done a lot. I would hold off any further interventions and eat and live normally. Begin to exercise daily would help to get your mind of this vague symptom of abdominal discomfort.

Question 3

what is the stuff you have to take before colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Laxatives: There are a variety of materials used to clean out the colon before colonoscopy because if there is stool in the colon it will be difficult if not impossible to have a successful examination.  Different doctors have different ways of doing this.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Ativan (lorazepam): No harmful adverse interaction between the 2

Question 5

is it ok to take lorazepam with traumadol even if it isn't recommended?

Accepted Answer

Not w/o ur Dr's okay: Tramadol and lorazepam are both very sedating and potentially addictive medications.  It is not okay to take them together unless specifically instructed to do so by your clinician.  Take Care!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question not clear: I am not entirely sure what you are asking (what you mean when you say "dont fil taking it with 1 mg so i take it in half..."). But there is no problem with taking Lorazepam 0.25 mg 6 hours apart. However you should always follow your doctor's recommendation.

Question 7

is it okay to take ativan (lorazepam)?

Accepted Answer

Ativan (lorazepam): As prescribed, and along with counseling, yes.

Question 8

can you take nyquil if you take lorazepam?

Accepted Answer

Caution together: Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine which has many uses.  Caution should be exercised when used with nyquil or any liquid that contains alcohol because both can cause sedation.  Also the alcohol can potentiate the effects of a benzodiazepine causing it to be more sedating than usual.

Question 9

can i take ativan (lorazepam) before work?

Accepted Answer

Carefully: Ativan (lorazepam) is a valium derivative that is used for anxiety, tension, and for seizures.  The side effect is sleepiness.  Low doses are usually well tolerated and will relax you and allow usual function.  Higher doses will put you to sleep.  Understand why you are using it.  Balance the benefit to the side effects.
