Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is an increase risk of dizziness, drowsiness and difficulty concentrating. These are the main possible interactions that can occur.

Since she is using a small dose of lorazepam, it is possible that she may not experience any of these effects significantly and can use them safely together.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
