Question 2

i take ambien (zolpidem) 10mg po hs. in the past i have tried ativan 2mg, klonopin 2mg and restoril 30mg.they all make me groggy! would halcion 0.25mg be better?

Accepted Answer

Sleeping Pill: Let me see if I understand your question correctly.  You are taking a sleeping pill and you are concerned that they make you groggy.That is what they are designed to do!  If you are groggy when you wake up then you are taking too high of a dose of the medication.  All of the doses you have mentioned are the high range of the medication. Halcion is much longer acting.  Ask your doc about 1/2 Ambien (zolpidem)

Question 3

Accepted Answer

NO INTERACTION : Yes they can. No interaction between Zantac (ranitidine) and Ativan .

Question 4

can percocet and ativan (lorazepam) be taken together?

Accepted Answer

Use caution: Percocet is a narcotic pain med and Ativan is a benzodiazepine. They are both sedating drugs that can cause drowsiness, impaired coordination, slowed respiration, cognitive dulling and dizziness. I would advise caution using both of them together. They should not be used together at high doses.  Perhaps you can try a less potent analgesic like a non-steroidal med such as Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen).

Question 5

Yes: Try to use the Ativan (lorazepam) only when needed. You can become dependent.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

ativan (lorazepam) and hyrdoxyzine together okay?

Accepted Answer

No too much sedation: Ativan is a tranquilizer used short term or occasionally for anxiety.
Hydroxyzine is used for itching and can also be used as a tranquilizer.
Both medications cause drowsiness and should not be used together.
An alternative to Hydroxyzine for itching would be an over the counter antihistamine that does not cause sedation such as Claritin (loratadine) or allegra.

Question 8

is taking nortriptyline and ativan together safe?

Accepted Answer

: NO! Concomitant use of nortriptyline and lorazepam should generally be avoided" due to the increased risk of respiratory depression and sedation. The Drug Enforcement Administration states that both nortriptyline and lorazepam are controlled substances and can cause central nervous system depression when used together.

Question 9

is it safe to take tryptophan and ativan together?

Accepted Answer

: Taking tryptophan will not do you any good, other than lightening your wallet.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Wish you good health!
