Question : Are zyrtec lorazepam and lexapro safe to take together. My doctor wrote me a prescription a few months before lexapro for insomnia, but i did not take it. Now that I am taking lexapro I can't sleep. I took some of my lexapro and zyrtec earlier today and would like to take lorazepam.

Brief Answer:
Yes, they are safe to take together.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Lexapro is having escitalopram. It is newer sedative drug.
Zyrtec is having cetrizine. It is antihistamine.
Lorazepam is also a good sedative drug.
All these drugs are safe to take together.
So no need to worry for drug interactions or any other side effects.
You can take them together.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
