Brief Answer:
No risk to stop breathing during sleep.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Ativan (lorazepam) interacts with Zyrtec increasing the effects of drowsiness, lack of concentration, and sleepiness.
It is better not to use these drugs together.

You may be feeling sleepy because of taking these two drugs. You may need to be sure that they will not cause you to stop breathing.

If you feel sleepy go to sleep and be sure that you will have no complications.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
