Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I won't suggest you take these two medicines together, taking them together will increase their side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating, you should continue with paroxetine and avoid lorazepam. Also, you should consult your dentist regarding this.
Hope this was useful do let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr Akash Kumar
