default
Posted on Tue, 22 Nov 2016
Question: Is it safe for me to take both Trzazadone and Ativan for stress/anxiety/
I also take Depakote 500-725, 5 OLnazapine, Ranitidine at night and a Crestor generic.

Regardless, I have trouble falling asleep, some nights with pressing thoughTs and remineNCes comingfrom my brain that were obvious to me as a child. I quit doing that and then aftier moving to XXXXXXX TX and began the Depkote and Rispersdol, the noises started and voices. I am alone at 69 PPRECIATE YOUR SERVICES. kEEPS ME OUT THE THEIR OFFICE UNTIL TIME.

Brief Answer:
It is...Beware of increased sleepiness and anxiety!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is safe to use both medications together. However they can increase your level of sleepiness and dizziness requiring that you avoid doing very complex activities requiring a lot of coordinations like driving long distances, climbing heights, operating machines, etc. Otherwise, there is no possible harm that these drugs when taken together can cause to the body.

I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
