Took .5mg of ativan (lorazepam) 9 hours ago. my dr recommended i take melatonin for my insomnia. is it safe to take 3mg of melatonin in the same day as ativan (lorazepam)?

Probably okay: They may be additive in producing drowsiness or sleep. . You are better off using melatonin by itself for sleep, as ativan (lorazepam) is mainly an anti-anxiety medication that you could build tolerance to. Are you on methadone now too? Lots of additive effects when combined, if so. hope your PCP is monitoring/ managing this along with your pain meds? You can also become tolerant to Melatonin's effects.
