If i took a 2 mg ativan, (lorazepam) how many hours do i wait until taking 10 mg of valium which my psychiatrist switched me to?

Treatment : Depends on the original prescription instructions for Ativan (lorazepam) as best approach would be to start Valium at the tine of the next scheduled Ativan (lorazepam) dose.

8-10 hours: However, combining the two medications can cause excessive drowsiness. 10 mg of Valium is a high dose. The longer you stay on the medications of benzodiazepine category the more difficult it becomes to get off them. These medicines are a good quick fix but a more curative medication like escitalopram that yo are taking are more helpful in the longer run.
