Is It Safe To Take Ativan While On Oxycodone And Cymbalta?
Question: I took 2mg of Ativan 20 hours ago, I also took 30mg of Oxycodone 4 hours ago, 60mg of Cymbalta 2 hours ago and I am wondering when it would be safe to take my Ativan again? I am tapereing off of the Ativan by lowering it .5mg every three days, when I tried just stopping it all at once I begin to feel very sick. Also I am having a pretty bad panic attack now so it would help greatly.
Brief Answer:
Can take ativan now.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Considering the drugs which you have taken now and time elapsed, in my opinion you can take ativan now. There should not be any interaction except sedation.
It is always better to quit ativan slowly. Abrupt stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
