Q: how long after taking 100mg of dramamine can i take my ativan for anxiety?

: Dramamine has the ingredient benadryl in it, which can take over 24 hours for the drug to be cleared from the body. Ativan, or lorazepam, is even longer, over 3 days to be cleared. A combination of Ativan and Dramamine may increase intended or unintended the side effects of CNS depression. It is advised not to operate vehicles and heavy machinery while on these medications
