Question : Hi there, I have given the following medicine to take. I wonder if there could be an bad interaction, if yes, which of the all should I avoid taking?
For anxiety:
Lorazepam (which has helped me the most, I have taken about 16 in 25 days)
Escitalopram (I have taken only one, don't know if I need it)
Omeprazole (I have been taking for 15 days 1 a day 20MG)
several antiacids over the counter (ranitidine, tagamet)
NOW THEY DISCOVERED "H PYLORI" AND I AM ABOUT TO START
AMOXICILLIN CAP 500MG (2 caps twice a day for 14 days)
CLARITHROMYCIN TAB 500MG (one tab twice a day)
should I be concerned about an interaction. I also am trying to talk to someone here about this,
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
good medications, take them regularly.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there, thanks for asking. You should the escitalopram and lorazepam regularly. Lorazepam could be taken on an as needed basis if your doctor recommend it. Escitalopram should be taken regularly and it could show its positive effect after 4 to 8 weeks. You should also discontinue it gradually and after visiting your doctor. If you feel good without taking it, you can talk with your doctor to see if you really need it. If you do not need it, it is better not to take it at all. I wish you a good health.

no bad interaction with lorazepam or excitalopram. I mean can I take All of them?
