Can I take Lorazepam with sleeping pills?
-
Hello, I am a 38 years old male. I recently visited a doctor who prescribed me lorazepam for my anxiety. I am confused because I take sleeping pills prescribed by my other doctor. Can I take both lorazepam and sleeping pills together? Should I stop taking sleeping pills?

@tahhir Hello, No. Lorazepam should not be taken with other benzodiazepine medications. Lorazepam causes drowsiness, so it shouldn’t be used with other medications that cause drowsiness. It's used to treat anxiety and sleeping problems that are related to anxiety. If you are taking lorazepam then do not take sleeping pills.
