Question

Can you mix the drug lorazapam with st.john's wort?

Answer 1

so is poison ivy, but why would you mix them? lorazapam is typically used as an anti-anxiety drug and can reduce the symptoms of nausea induced by opiates. my advice is that if you are taking a serious drug such as lorazapam, reduce any herbal "remedies" that  you dont absolutely need. when youre taking a serious medication like lorazapam, its not the time to be taking various types of herbal supplements, usually those myriads of combinations have not been tested together. you could grow a third eye, noone knows.

Answer 2

St. John's Wort is known to interact with antidepressants and sedatives.

Lorazepam is used in treating anxiety associated with depression and is also a sedative, therefore it is better to avoid taking these two drugs in conjunction.

Answer 3

Yes- St John's wort is herbal.

Answer 4

Don't do it. I used St. John's Wort about 6 years ago and had a very scary reaction to it.  It was quite unpleasant.
