>I thought Ativan produced better sleep with less cognitive side effects than Valium. I could be wrong. What do you think?
I think Ativan causes greater impairment of memory, it's also more difficult to discontinue should the need arise. On the other hand, Valium tends to cause more drowsiness.
I wouldn't say that the combination sounds problematic, so long as the doses are kept low - which they are in this case.
