How does Ativan help?

lorazepam (Ativan) is a highly potent benzodiazepine (same class of drugs as Valium, Xanax, etc.) used to treat anxiety. It is also adminstered often before surgery and can be used for short-term relief of insomnia.

Can you take Ativan with marijuana?

I decided to try it right after reading this question. First I crushed the pill, with half of it, I snorted it. Immediately after snorting it, i feel very much like a took a couple swigs of rum. I feel very light and warm. I think it's a nice feeling.

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.

Can you take lortab and Ativan together the effects?

Yes, however both drugs carry a risk of addiction. Adderall contains the central nervous system stimulant amphetamine which is used to treat ADHD, while Lortab contains a mixture of paracetamol and hydrocodone which is used to treat pain.
Yes you can. Though in technical terms it would be the equivilant of speedballing. Just be careful going with too much in either direction because especially opiates can cause respiratory arrest, and your effects (good and bad) are multiplied when you mix.

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.

Skelaxin (metaxalone), Ativan (lorazepam), and Percocet (oxycodone/acetaminophen) are safe to use together UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION. A combination like this is actually rather common to see.

The combination can lead to increased sedation so until you know how the combination of medications will effect you avoid driving or other hazardous tasks.

As long as these medications are prescribed they are safe to use short or long term.

What is a lethal dose of lorazapam?

No lethal dose has been set by the FDA, although some people require 4800mg per day and tolerate it just fine. I do not believe it is possible to OD in gabapentin because it is a neurotransmitter that responds to enhance good feelings. Your brain will only absorb what it needs, the rest is wasted.
