Can .5 mg lorazepam be taken with 5 mg of ritalin (methylphenidate)?

Yes: Please be sure you are taking these under the guidance and care of a physician. Both can be abused if not being used for a therapeutic purpose.

Yes: If your physician has prescribed these two drugs to be taken together this is fine. Usually for ADHD short acting ritalin (methylphenidate) would be prescribed as twice a day. Lorazepam would be as needed for anxiety. If you got these drugs off the street, then you are making a hideous mistake with your life even considering this question! Lorazepam is addictive and not the best drug for anxiety at all.
