What gauge needle is recommended for Ativan injections?
I draw it with 18 and inject with 22 if mixed with Haldol or diluted. I use 21 if undiluted.
Where can you get a prescription for Ativan?
You can obtain a prescription for Ativan (lorazepam) from a licensed healthcare provider, such as a primary care physician, psychiatrist, or other qualified mental health professional. They will evaluate your medical history and current condition to determine if Ativan is appropriate for you. Additionally, some telehealth services may offer consultations and prescriptions for medications like Ativan. Always ensure any prescription is obtained legally and responsibly.
Does lorazepam have acetaminophen in it?
Lorazepam is the name of the drug in Lorazepam. There are no other medications in that drug. Acetaminophen is the same drug as Tylenol. There isn't any in Lorazepam.
What happens if you drink after taking lorazepam?
Combining benzodiazepines with alcohol leads to amnesia more often that not. It's also a dangerous combination as both are depressants and can lead to severe respiratory depression, coma and even death.
Is taking lorazepam good for anxiety?
Yes, it is an anti-anxiety agent. However, I much prefer Klonopin, as it usually has less side effects.
Most benzodiazepine equivalency charts show 10mg Valium = 1mg Ativan so it should work, HOWEVER, be cautious when subsitituting or combining benzos as effects are VERY relative to each person. Paradoxical reactions can occur in one benzo and not another. For example, My cousin can't take Valium- it makes her hyper and irritable, but 0.5mg Ativan knocks her out.
How many 0.5 mg ativan would it take to match the power of a 0.5 mg Klonopin?
You should check with a pharmacist, or doctor, since Ativan and Klonopin are used for a variety of conditions. As with all medications, they should only be taken as directed by a physician.
How does topical or transderml Ativan compare to PO or IV Ativan?
They will take longer to have the effect on the patient vs. PO or IV.
How does Lorazepam react with Methadone?
Both are CNS depressants, which is to say that they suppress the action of certain parts of your central nervous system. In higher doses of either drug alone, you may experience slower or shallow breathing, or even respiratory arrest. With both together (especially if one or both are at a high dosage), you run a very high risk of fatality due to respiratory arrest. Add alcohol to the mix and you may as well pick out a cemetery plot and start carving on your gravestone.
The bottom line - Do not mix opiates and benzos unless you are willing to risk dying in your sleep. The higher the dosage of either, the greater the chance of death. Another unfortunate side effect of this mixture (I've seen this occur roughly 6/10 patients who have overdosed on this combination) is extremely painful, long lasting hiccups, followed by mild headaches. This hiccup cure works nicely. Many people reading this page may appreciate it.
If you need a sedative/something to relax you, and must take opiate medication such as Methadone for pain, forgo the Valium/Xanax/Lorazepam and smoke marijuana instead, if it is legal in your area.
Can you take Lexapro and Ativan at the same time?
Yes. It is perfectly safe to take both Paxil (Paroxitine) and Ativan (Lorezapam) at the same time. i was prescribed both these meds for my anxiety and depression and have been taking them for 6 months.. they work great for GAD :)
Can you intravenously inject ativan pills (crushed)?
No. The particles cannot be crushed small enough to go through the syringe needle.
Can you take Ativan and sleeping pills at the same time?
Ativan is a tranquilizer, and so are sleeping pills. I doubt that you should take them at the same time. Aks your doctor to be sure.
How long before a drug test should one quit taking Ativan?
Your system should clear ativan by about the 3rd day of sobriety. To be safer, you can take creatine phosphate (found in any vitamin store) an hour before the test and drink alot of water. The water will dilute the drug concentration but the creatine level will be normal, so they will be unable to detect the dilution.
Its hard to say because everyone is differnt, however; I do think you are going to have a lot of trouble sleeping once you are taken off this because of the mild tranquilizer found in lorazepam.
At what temperature will Celsius and kelvin thermometers display the same reading?
0 degrees Celsius is equivalent to 273 degrees Kelvin. an increase of 1 degree Celsius is equal to an increase of 1 degree Kelvin. Therefore they will never display the same reading.
Both of these drugs are in the drug class Benzodiazepine, meaning that is will show up as a Benzo. However, Ativan is also in the Anxiolytic, Antiemetic drug classes. If these are missing, a person could fail the test.
valporic acid supposedly doubles the plasma concentration of lorazepam (Ativan), which I believe is in Depakote, a mood stabilizing/anti-epileptic medication. I am not 100% certain. Grapefruit also potentiates some benzos, but I don't know if Ativan is one of them.
What is a 'paradoxical effect' of Lorazepam?
The paradoxical effect is the name used to describe instances when, instead of decreasing anxiety and manic episodes, it actually increases them. While this can happen in some patients with the first dose, in a sense, it happens to virtually all patients who have become addicted. The difference is simply, when the effect happens in relation to when the medication is taken.
In the case of a simple side effect, the symptoms are usually apparent within minutes of taking Ativan. The patient will become agitated and difficult to deal with. The paradoxical effect will cause or worsen a panic attack.
In the case of Ativan abuse and addiction, the paradoxical effect is one of the primary withdrawal symptoms and may occur hours after the last dosage.
Is Ativan stronger then Xanax?
Ativan can be stronger than Xanax. However, it depends on the milligram dosage. Both Ativan and Xanax are anti-anxiety prescription medications.
Are lorazepam and paracetamol safe to take together?
You should ask your doctor before taking any new medications, especially if you already take other medications.
