General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hi & Welcome.
Yes, Ativan can interact with these medications.

Ativan (Lorazepam) is a central nervous depressant can cause drowsiness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, impaired thinking and motor coordination as its important side effects.

When taken along with Baclofen & or Gabapentin which also work by depressing the central nervous system may exaggerate the side effects as mentioned above. They may also cause excessive sleepiness or coma.

Hence, they should not be taken all together.

Hope these answer your query.
