Can take abilify and Ativan together?

Answer 1

It is not recommended that you take both of these together. By taking them together it can cause seizures. For a seizure patient you definitely should not take them together. However, If you were to take Ativan or Valium today you would have to wait at least 3 days to take the opposite of the one you took. This is for safe measures to get it out of his/her system. This is usually the reason why Doctors do not prescribe both to you. You have to make sure that you drink plenty of fluids why taking these medications. If you were not prescribed this medication do not take it without first consulting a doctor.

Answer 2

I am not sure. I was hoping to find the answer myself. I took Xanax last night and I have been on abilify for 6 days. I fell asleep at 545pm, and slept until my husband woke me for church at 830. Not sure if it was the combo of meds or what.

Answer 3

Those 2 drugs shouldn't be taken at the same moment of the day. But Vyvanse can be taken in the morning while lorazepam is taken at night.

Vyvanse might cause anxiety and insomnia... while lorazepam is used to treat these condition. This combination should be well evaluated by a good doctor. Your doctor should know you take those 2 drugs together.

Answer 5

My daughter is taking ativan and abilify together. After she started taking both meds she doesn't sleep as before. She has been awake for more than 78 hrs without any sleep. These is because of these meds?

Answer 6

Yes, but most likely increased sedation will be experienced. Be careful. Wouldn't recommend if driving or doing anything dangerous.

Answer 7

Yes.

It is common to give daily Paxil (paroxetine) to reduce anxiety and depression and as needed Ativan (lorazepam) as needed.
