I take Ativan for my anxiety but I like to work out and lift weights I was wondering if there was someone on here who can help me with do and don'ts far as suppliments I already know not to touch stimulants but what about herbal products?
Is there anyone else who take Ativan and lift heavy weights?

There are many regular and herbal supplements you can take with ativan. When you decide which one you want run it by your doctor or right on this drugs.com websight there is an interaction checker above this page, I believe its on the top left corner and you type in the ativan and whatever supplement you choose; however, not all supplements show up. I am surprised the ativan hasn't made you too tired to where you didn't feel motivated to lift weights lol

Good for you, just try not to rely on the ativan too much or you'll be dealing with a habit that isn't easy to get off of... Best to you
