A member asked:

Is it advisable to take an ativan (lorazepam) with a cup of chamomile tea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
