Is There A Fatal Drug Interaction Between Lorazepam And Oxycodone?
I have to have a 2 hr. pet Scan tomorrow and my back is out. My doctor gave me OXYCODONE to deal with the back pain and I would also like to take a LORAZEPAM to calm me down. Is it ok to take these two together and could they accidently put me to sleep?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It depends upon the dose. They are both sedatives and could potentially cause serious harm if the doses are high. You need to ask your prescribing doctor about the doses and whether or not it is okay to take them together.
Regards
