Prozac (fluoxetine) and Ativan (lorazepam) serve different purposes; Prozac is an antidepressant, while Ativan is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety. Some healthcare providers might consider using an antidepressant like Prozac to help manage anxiety as part of a tapering plan for Ativan, but this should be done under medical supervision. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for a tailored approach to safely discontinue Ativan.

Switching from Ativan (lorazepam) to Prozac (fluoxetine) should be done under a healthcare professional's guidance, as they serve different purposes: Ativan is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety, while Prozac is an antidepressant. Abruptly stopping Ativan can lead to withdrawal symptoms, and transitioning to Prozac may require a tapering schedule. Your doctor will ensure a safe and effective plan tailored to your needs. Always consult a healthcare provider before making any medication changes.

Yes, but most people should not do it. One counteracts the other. Prozac is a SSRI, antidepressant working on seritonin receptors. Ativan is a Benzodiazepine, an anti-anxiolytic and can cause depression with long term use.
I am on Prozac, 10mg. for daytime use and 25mg. of elavil to relieve insomnia due to use of Prozac. Seems to work quite well!

Yes, no problem at all.
It's okay to be on Prozac as long as you need it, but it carries a raised risk of dependancy the longer you use it.
