In reply to asthma and benzos, posted by joef on October 5, 2013, at 13:28:14
hi joef-
I have chronic asthma and take Ativan. I've taken benzos for years. At super high does, benzos exacerbate my breathing, but at "regular" doses (I take up to 4mg of Ativan daily), my lungs are fine.
Remember, though, that benzos depress the cns, so they can make it harder to breathe.
Hope that helps...
