Lorazepam 2mg

Taking lorazepam (Ativan) with opioid pain medications is very dangerous and should be avoided, if possible. The combination can lead to slowed breathing, coma, or even death.

You shouldn’t drink alcohol with lorazepam (Ativan). Doing this can worsen the side effects which can affect your breathing, slow your heart rate, cause dizziness, and can even lead to a loss of consciousness.

Lorazepam (Ativan) causes dizziness and drowsiness. Avoid activities that require you to be alert (like driving) until you know how it affects you.

If you’ve been taking lorazepam (Ativan) every day for a while, don’t stop taking this medication suddenly because you might get withdrawal symptoms. Examples of withdrawal symptoms include headache, nausea, heart palpitations, and anxiety.

If you’re using the oral solution version of lorazepam (Ativan), be sure to only use the dropper in the package to measure out your dose. Don’t use other tools, like household spoons, to measure your dose because doing so might cause you to measure the wrong dose. You can mix your dose of lorazepam (Ativan) solution with a beverage or semi-solid food, such as water, juice, soda, applesauce, or pudding. Eat or drink the mixture right away and don’t try to save it for later.

If you’re taking extended-release lorazepam (Loreev XR) and have trouble swallowing the capsule, you can open it up and sprinkle the contents inside over a tablespoon of applesauce. Eat this mixture whole without chewing, then drink some water afterwards to help you wash it down. Make sure to eat this mixture within 2 hours of mixing and don’t save it for later.
