Can i take zyrtec with lexapro 15mg and ativan 0.5mg prn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably safe: Zyrtec is supposed to be a non- drowsy antihistamine, but it does sometimes cause slight drowsiness which could be worsened when combined with Ativan so definitely do NOT take both when you have to drive or operate machinery - at least until you determine that the combination does not make you drowsy. Lexapro should be pretty neutral on drowsiness
