Can you drink alcohol while on Ativan?

Answer 1

It should be safe if you take no more than 1 mg and have 1 or 2 drinks at most. However, you will feel a buzz from this and should not drive or operate machinery. Even if you are legally just barely under the alcohol limit, you will be impaired like you had a few extra drinks.

If you take larger amounts of Ativan, and/or larger amounts of alcohol you can make yourself sick possibly even inducing respiratory arrest resulting in an emergency room visit.

However, if you are more sensitive than the average person perhaps no amount should be mixed.

Answer 2

Can - sure. Your mouth and throat are still working.

Is it a good idea - no.
