Alcohol intensifies the effect of benzodiazepines (such as Ativan, Xanax & Klonopin). This can lead to oversedation, incoordination, slurring of speech, and increased risk of falls and accidents.

Will taking Ativan 1mg a day test positve in a urine drug test?

Ativan is constantly in your system if taken on a daily basis, it will show up as a benzodiazepine. However if a doctor prescribes this for you then whoever you are getting the drug test from can not hold it against you. I would tell the drug tester I was taking it, how much of it I was taking, and if need be bring in the pill bottle with your name and the prescription number and everything on it as proof that it is a legal use of the drug. I took Xanax (same family as Ativan) for a while, 0.5 mg as needed, and it came up on a drug test. It was not held against me because my psych doctor prescribed it.


Can you take Zoloft with Ativan?

Yes, it is a recommended combination for patients suffering from panic disorder. Ativan is also used when you start taking an anti-depressant, to counter the side-effects at the start of the treatment. Ativan is highly addictive. Regular use over 2 weeks can cause physical and psychological addiction, modifying GABA benzodiazepine receptors in the brain. Even if your doctor advices you to take benzodiazepines on a daily basis - longer than two weeks, you should consider the outcome, which is an addiction problem.

Can you take Adderall 15 mg Prozac 20 mg and 25 Xanax as needed?

You should only take your prescription medications as prescribed by your physician. However, 1mg of xanax is still not that high of a dosage, so if you were to take another 0.5mg, I don't see any reasons why you would have any problems.
