How long after taking sertraline 50mg (generic zoloft) can i take ativan (lorazepam) (1mg) if i need it? doc prescribed the ativan (lorazepam) to take as needed up to 3/day

When needed: Zoloft (sertraline) is an SSRI and can take up to two weeks to reach maximum benefit in your system. The ativan will work in minutes. OK to take as needed until you get two weeks out and you should have less need for it.

Your medication needs to be managed by a Psychiatrist. If you are not confident in your Dr. please see another for a 2nd opinion. Medication alone may not be enough. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help. A complete physical exam would show if your symptoms are due to a physical illness. You may need a sleep study prescribed by a Dr.
