My drug book is an older one, so it doesn't have Lexapro it it, but I looked online, and it said that Lexapro can be taken with most other medications.
Ativan is a very potent and usually effective medication. Do not take more than you are prescribed, as it can raise your heart rate, and too much can be very bad for you.
As far as I can tell, it should be quite safe to take them together - you can always call your pharmacist (they usually have your information plugged in to pharmaceutical software now, too, so you even have that as a backup - the computer as well as the pharmacist to double check for your Dr. whether or not something is safe to take.) Unless yu are getting your meds from two different pharmacies.
Also, be sure you are telling your Dr. whether or not you are taking any herbal supplements, like St. John's Wort (which works like a tricyclic antidepressant) some antidepressants should not be mixed together.

www.WebMD.com (find "drugs A-Z at the bottom of the page, or just put the name of the med you are looking for in the search box at the top of the page. If you do that, you will get more general drug info - if you use the drugs A-Z, you will get more specific drug info)

or, www.drugs.com is also a good place to find lots of info on your meds.

Thankyou Starfish....trust me I won't be taking more that's for sure..if anything I won't take it as often as prescribed...

safe together pixie. it'll help a lot with the anxiety. it's a benzo...so as starfish said..take as directed.
but they don't mix adversely. no worries there.

I take zoloft and ativan...no problem. I have found ativan Excellent for relief of anxiety symptoms...Emil

I have taken both at the same time. I had no interaction with it. As soon as I get an anxiety attack it helps calm me down. Hope this helps.

I have taken Lexapro and ativan together and have had no problems.
