Can you shoot up lorazepam tablets?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Physically, yes you can, in that it's certainly possible. However it's nevre a good idea to IV inject preparations made for consumption by mouth. When the manufacturer has good cause to believe their medication will be taken orally, they:

  • May include components (usually not active ingredients) like enteric coatings, that work very well indeed in the alimentary canal, but cause dangers when injected.
  • Levels of quality control for oral meds don't aim for the loftier levels of sterile control that are applied to IV meds. In other words, tablets should be considered clean but never sterile, so they can carry some pretty nasty infections via the IV route that would be been killed off going through the digestive tract.
  • Failure to dissolve the tablet entirely (including at the microscopic level) means you may be injecting emboli -- small clumps that may obstruct blood flow to microvessels (and if one of those is in your brain...). Also, these emboli can work as "seeds" that the clotting system works on and attacks, thus creating larger, more dangerous clots.
  • Sterile field problems in the kit offer up a wide range of chances for infection.

I'd strongly recommend against trying this.

How long will stomach pain last from Ativan withdrawal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, be sure you slowly taper the dosage as you are withdrawing. The stomach pain will go away once your body adjusts to not having the benzo. For some people, it stops once they get completely off the drug. For others, it lasts for awhile after they are off the drug, but it will gradually lessen with time.

How many hours between taking Ativan and ambien?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Adderall lasts for like 6-8 hrs, so anytime after that's good. The Ambien can actually help you come off the Adderall and get to sleep (obvi :]). Of course, if you wanna have some fun, someone who isn't me ;) finds that taking them together is rather exquisite.

Can you die from over 20mg of Lorazepam?

Asked by Lynnguini

It depends on what your metabolism and tolerance is. If you don't usually do a whole lot of benzodiazepines like Ativan, Valium, Restoril, Klonopin, etc., one could just die from that much.

How long is it safe to take an Ativan after a vicodin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, Vicodin is used to treat moderate to above moderate pain and ativan is used to treat anxiety. If your doctor prescribed both of them to you then he/she believes you need both. If you take both at the same time or even in the same 1-2 hours of each other I wouldn't recommend you operate any heavy machinery like a car unless you have taken them both before and know how you feel.

Can you take Ativan with hydrocodone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not a medical professional, but I have taken Ativan and hydrocodone together many times as they were prescribed to me. My psychiatrist prescribed the Ativan to me and knew I was taking hydrocodone for recent surgeries. I rarely take the two at the same time, but when I have in the past the most I ever took was 20mg of the hydrocodone with 2mg of Ativan. Hope this helps!

Is it safe to mix 12mg of ambien cr with 1.5 mg of Ativan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Z drugs like ambien should not be taken with a benzodiazepine as it can greatly increase sedation which can lead to side effects as dramatic as death due to upper-respitory failure (being unable to breath).

There is really no need to take the two together, if the ambien you are being prescribed isn't getting you to sleep then consult your phsyician about increasing your dosages.

Can you smoke lorazepam?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, sure you can smoke it. Although I'm not certain how healthy it is. If it's crushed finely, then put in, say, pipe, and the lit and smoked, the effects should rise almost immediately- although they might differ from what you get from your usual oral intake. I don't advise it, but yes, it's possible by all means.
