A member asked:

I took one .5mg pill of ativan (lorazepam) at 8am. is it okay if i have a few alcoholic drinks at 9pm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a good idea. : Even though it is after 11 hours, combination of alcohol and Ativan (lorazepam) in one day can cause a lot of problems, especially if you are driving.
