General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is a risk of increased sedation with the combination of hydrocodone and ativan, no interaction between the gabapentin and ativan.

It is possible that because of the increase sedation, you may be excessively drowsy in the am.
If you do take the ativan, it would have to be a small dose eg 0.5 mg.

I hope this helps
