Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, these can be used together . They are from two different family of drugs.
Ativan is a benzodiazepine and is sometimes with antidepressants/anti anxiety medications such as celexa to help with the sleep disturbance that occurs with these conditions.
Antidepressants can sometimes take 2 to 3 weeks to start to work and may not be able to help with sleep disturbance during this time. Benzodiazepines such as ativan help to induce sleep during this period.
Some persons only need it for this 2 to 3 week time, others may need it for longer.
Summary:can be used together- no known interaction
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
