Is it risky to take Ativan with Ambien for sleep?

I am experiencing extremely high anxiety and this would help me to both calm down and sleep. Thanks.

I am sorry that you are experiencing such a high state of anxiety. I would strongly recommend that you speak with a psychiatrist regarding this particular combination of highly addictive medications that can be very dangerous for your body. It would also be beneficial for you to see your primary care physician. If you are having any thoughts of wanting to hurt yourself please go to the nearest emergency room or call 911.
