In reply to Xanax and Ativan interaction, posted by software guru on June 5, 2003, at 8:16:39
> How long should one wait before switching from one benzo to another, such as from Ativan to Xanax? Is there a danger of any interaction or multplying effect if the two drugs are in your body at the same time? Would 25 mg a day of Zoloft have any effect on this?

> Thanks.hmmm, your pdoc should have told you when to start taking the new drug. You could try the pharmacy (or the drug fact sheet online) and find out what the half-life is, or it may even say how long it lasts in your system.
I have taken both (not at the same time), from experience I would think that as long as you weren't on a high dosage you could take the new drug within a day or two...the Zoloft shouldn't make a difference.
