My DH had his doctor appt this week. The doctor added Lorazepam (for anxious episodes) to be taken as needed. He told me not to give his Seroquel (he takes 50mg am and pm) and Lorazepam at the same time or he would be extremely drowsy.
Is anyone else’s LO on both of these meds? How far after the Seroquel do you give the Lorazepam?

    DW takes 25mg Seroquel am and pm; 75 mg Zoloft in the morning only, along with Lisinopril, simvastatin, Lisinopril, Eliquis and Pantoprazole. She usually sleeps quite well but lately wakes up earlier than usual, leaving me less private time in the morning.i wake up at 5:00 am every day.
