Accidentally mixed lorazepam with alcohol, what to do?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Overdose: both drugs work on the same receptor in the brain. this can cause oversedation and decreased breathing and altered mental status. if you or your family/friend is difficult to arrouse, call an ambulance. If you are awake and conversive, just watch for sedation.

Don't do it again: Depends when you did it and how much. If it was more than 4 hours ago, and you typed that question above without spelling errors, it looks like you may not have taken large doses. Any doubts that you overdid it though, see your doctor.
