Yes: It's reasonable to take the Lexapro (escitalopram) at the same time of the day that you would normally take your Zoloft the next time you are due for a dose. You just should not take both drugs on the same day, and ideally you will not skip a day either - best just to go from Zoloft one day to Lexapro (escitalopram) the next. The Ativan will not affect the switch from one drug to another either way.

MEDICATION : Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
