Why would you do that with narcotics? That isn’t safe. But, really, the only thing that can happen is you might feel a little high, but when the sleeping aid kicks in, you’ll probably crash. I wouldn’t be too worried about, but if you start feeling real sick, go in ASAP.

OTC Pills and ativan won’t cause anything drastic, at most you’ll just be sleepier. Unless you take the whole box…then watch out.

You shouldn’t even be mixing those two up.

You be careful! If you start feeling weird,think “what did I do to get this way?”

Nothing. :) I take ativan for anxiety and also take Ambien CR for a sleep disorder. Sometimes, I have to take both. My doctor said so long as I don’t take more than the recommended dose I am fine.

You should be fine but if you have questions in the future, I would ask your pharmacist or doctor.

Nothing much will happen you’ll just be more relaxed than normal
When you wake up you might feel a little dozy still
