Brief Answer:
Yes it can be taken but under the advice of physician

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

If you want to use imipramine along with lorazepam there is no harm if done under the advice of doctor. Both the medicine work on the brain and they need proper assessment before prescribing.

For a 78 year old person my request will be to see your doctor before doing so a there is more risk of side effects than the benefits.

So be warned and take appropriate steps.
Thanks and regards
