Can you take Ambien and Ativan together?

Question

Is it safe to take 1mg of Ativan and 10mgs of Ambien together? I was prescribed both but wasn't clear if I could take them together at bedtime. My dr's office is closed.

Answer 1

I'm on Ativan and I know that it makes my heart slow down and makes me reallly sleepy so my guess is that you shouldn't take both together.
