Technically: I'd suggest taking 1/4 tablet (0.25 mg) of the lorazepam only if you absolutely need to ... This should help the anxiety. These 2 medications do interact negatively and that might cause hypotension, respiratory depression, Motor functions to slow and vasodilation. If you experience any of these alarming symptoms - head to the ER.
