Can you takE Ativan and suboxone in the same day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you can take suboxone and ativan together. Suboxone does not block the effects of ativan. However, taking too much ativan with suboxone, could cause respiratory failure. So, to be safe, stick to the prescribed dosages of both medications.

Asked by Wiki User

No, it is not safe to mix any of these medications at anytime. Here is a full list of which drug interacts with which and their effects. If you have any concerns or questions please contact your Doctor or Pharmacist. Ativan (Lorazepam) and Hydrocodone (Ingredient of Vicodin) (Moderate Drug-Drug) MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities. Ativan (Lorazepam) and Paxil (Paroxetine) (Moderate Drug-Drug) MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients.

Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities. Ativan (Lorazepam) and Zanaflex (Tizanidine) (Moderate Drug-Drug) MONITOR: Sedation is a major side effect of tizanidine and may be potentiated by coadministration with other substances that have central nervous system-depressant effects or that may commonly cause drowsiness. MANAGEMENT: Use of tizanidine with other substances that commonly cause sedation should be approached with caution, particularly in elderly or debilitated patients.

Can Ativan and Klonopin be mixed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ativan and Klonopin are both benzodiazepine tranquilizers. They work in generally the same ways, and there is no good reason for combining them. Based on the categories you checked, it is possible that your anxiety could be related to the Adderall. Perhaps you should consider speaking with a physician who specializes in psychopharmacology. Prescribing a drug to counteract the effects of another drug is perhaps not the best way to go about dealing with the problem.

Can you take Ativan with celebrex?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can. Celebrex is a prescription pain medication that you just take once or twice a day. It works very well in most cases. There is no interaction between it and your tranquilizer.

I urge you to get a good therapist who can teach you healthy ways to deal with your anxiety instead of having to rely on the sedatives though. Therapy is the only CURE for anxiety!

Would 85 mg of Ativan be fatal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it would cause respiratory depression, that is unless you weigh 1000 pounds and have a bowl of benzodiazepines for breakfast each morning. 2 mg of ativan makes me sedated and I have a tolerance to the stuff, so 50 times that dose... yeah you'd just stop breathing.

Can Ativan make you hallucinate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yea it will it's a trip

Im sorry, but the above answer is in correct, you can not hallucinate on Xanax ... it affects the same receptors in the brain that alcohol does. If you are not a benzo addict, you may feel maybe ... light headed ... wobbly .. kind of like tipsy ... but im sorry you wont see any pink elephants.

You can trust me, in one day ive eatin more then 15 x 2mg bars ...

The only exception to that is in rare cases of paradoxical reactions, like in really young children (don't know why a little kid would ever take Xanax), elderly dementia patients, or people with preexisting mental health issues like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. But again, very rare.

If switching from 1mg of xanax to Ativan or Valium what would be the equivalant in mgs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Can you take 2 mg lorazepam with Oxycontin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, just be smart with your dosages because lorazepam is a strong benzo and benzos are potentiators of opiates, so you won't need as much oxy as normal unless you wanna be nodding balls. If lorazepam is a normal medicine for you that you take on a daily basis, then take as much oxy as normal. If you're not tolerant to benzos, careful on how high you dose.

Is it ok to mix 5mg Valium and 1mg Ativan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Does Valium and Ativan have same chemical make up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
