Does prednisone interact with either klonopin (clonazepam) or ativan?

Found no interaction: W Prednisone or klopin/ Ativan (lorazepam) using a drug interaction checker.

No: There are no specific drug interactions, but steroids in general are "activating, " and can make people (sometimes) more energized or even "hypomanic" - very speedy, pressured speech, more anxiety. This may make it sem like either of the benzodiazepines are not working as well and may require dose changes. However, depends on the dose and duration of the Prednisone treatment.
