Hi
Thanks for healthcare magic

There is nothing harm in treatment combination. That would control her obsessive and compulsive symptoms. She is on tab ativan 1mg twice a day. In case, she feels sleepiness due to ativan, she could decrease the morning dose, otherwise carry on with the combination.

Thanks
