Is Lorazepam Safe To Be Taken While On Paroxetine?
I take 1 tablet of paroxetine HCL 10 mg I have to go to the dentist for some work on Monday and I was wondering if I can take 1 lorazepam 0.5 mg tablet with that for nervousness I was prescribed the lorazepam for my dental visits before I went on the paroxetime
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I won't suggest you take these two medicines together, taking them together will increase their side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating, you should continue with paroxetine and avoid lorazepam. Also, you should consult your dentist regarding this.
Hope this was useful do let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards, Dr Akash Kumar
