Can Ativan Be Taken Along With Cymbalta And Celebrex?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Ativan is not safe for use in person older than 65. The reason for this is that Ativan causes unsteadiness, falls, fractures, memory loss, addiction, and withdrawal. Instead, to treat anxiety, you should work with your doctor to either increase Cymbalta, or to begin cognitive behavioral therapy.
