Yes, it is ok to take the pain medicine with the ativan as long as you take in the prescribed amount and no more. To read about the potential for interaction go to:

Hope this helps,

jenni. co,
I agree with Laurie 100%. It would be best, if prescibed by two different dotors, that you let someone know that you are taking the two meds together. There is no contraindications for using them together, I am simply concerned about continuity of care.
Peace,
Laura

Hi jenni.co! Welcome to Drugs.com!
Yes, it should be safe. I'm going for an MRI in a few weeks & will be using 1 or 2 Ativan at that time. I take a 24 hr. pill for chronic pain already.
I'd like to suggest that you let the prescribing doctor always know what other medications & vitamins & herbal/health supplements that you take. This is for your health & safety & will help to reduce unfavourable drug interactions.
Have a Merry Christmas! All the best!
from Wendy :)

Thank you so much. I didn't know how to post another comment so this is for everyone that answered me. Thanks heaps :) I actually woke up with a head ache thismorning, which isn't rare for me. But I really hate taking codeine in the morning. Is there any other pain killers that are strong but do not cause drowsiness?
