Yes. It is a normal therapy used among doctors. Check with your doctor or pharmacist on certain types of antidepressants you can take with the Valium.
Its not safe. It can cause drowsiness and increase side effects of the antidepressant.
yes... but they can increase they drowsiness of each other... as long as you have a tolerance to either one of them it should be ok
I have checked with a pharmacist friend, he said it is ok to take ativan (lorazepam) and requip (ropinirole) together.
Ativan is in the same family as Valium. They are both Benzodiazepines. Ativan is about 10 times stronger in terms of DOSE than Valium. They are two different chemicals but have similar effects. Some make you sleepier, and some work more at anxiety. I think Ativan is better than Valium at reducing anxiety but Valium makes you sleepier. But they are both similar so you probably won't notice the difference.
You can give Diazepam (Valium) next day after you give Lorazepam (Ativan). Lorazepam is short acting and diazepam is long acting.
Valium (Diazepam) and Ativan (Lorazepam) are both benzodiazepine drugs. They are similar, but not the same.
It it possible to take Valium (diazepam) and Ativan (lorazepam) at the same time however it is uncommon for both to be prescribed. However some doctors will prescribe Valium for continuous use, typically three times daily, and may give some Ativan to take as needed or panic attacks or insomnia. Keep in mind that Valium is a far less more potent drug than Ativan, 0.5- 1 mg is equivalent to 10 mg of Valium.
Valium has a elimination half-life of 20-100 hours whereas Xanax's is 6-12 hours and Ativan's half life is10-20 hours.
Benadryl can be mixed with haldol, but not with Ativan
benzodiazepine (i.e. Lithium, Valium, etc.)
1mg Xanax = 2mg Ativan or 20mg Valium. You also have to consider onset and duration of action. Xanax is very fast-acting but only has a half-life of 6-12 hours. Ativan has a relatively quick onset with a half-life of 10-20 hours. Valium on the other hand, is a slow-acting benzo and stays in your system for days.
No, Valium and Ativan are different medications with different active ingredients. Valium is a trade name (brand name) for the drug "diazepam" and Ativan is a trade name for the drug "lorazepam." However, both diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan) belong to the same class of sedative hypnotic prescription medications known as benzodiazepines. Accordingly, diazepam and lorazepam have similar chemical/molecular structures and share many of the same therapeutic properties.
you get messed up
