I believe no: Ativan, (lorazepam) is a highly potent drug, one of its uses is as an anti-anxiety medication. Chamomile can also be used in this matter. Both the medication and the herb have drowsiness as a side effect. You’re best to avoid taking both of them in the same time.

Yes: These will not cross react. You can take them both at the same time.
