Ativan pre-shroom trip okay?

I've seen a few posts about this but cant find a definite answer. If I pop one of my ativans before my coming up shroom trip, will that be okay? In hope of it easing the anxious feeling of the body high or anxiety once the peak of the trip takes its wonderful course. Also, i'll probably be smoking a lot of cannabis too. Anyone is welcome to post there opinion or give some advice its much appreciated. Thanks

Smoking is going to enhance your trip if you're like me. If you get anxious, just take less? Smoking could also either calm you down at the same time as intensifying your trip or it could make you anxious because the trip could be stronger. Just expirament and be careful! how much are you taking?
Good vibes...

also.... Have you taken the drug Ativan before? do you know how you react to it normally? There are side effects that you should be aware of and making sure that you do not get those side effects before dosing is a must! If you know how you react to the drug I would say it's okay.

One time I took a little bit of suboxone before tripping and I found that the shrooms greatly intensified the effects while coming up I was dying trying to keep my head up and from falling asleep it did end though approximately forty-five minutes later

Don't do it ,it could seriously dull your trip. Smoking weed is fine but I would smoke at the 30-60min mark if I were you

Ativan seems to be a pretty weak benzo. I had about 2.5 mg after an LSD trip once, and it hardly knocked me out at all.. YMMV

I'll be taking 1.5 grams of Pan Cyans and a gram of cubes for the trip and 5mg of the Ativan about 10 minutes before. They were given to me for anxiety a few months back but never have taken one. As far as dulling the trip, im not too worried about it, unless it's really that bad. I just didnt know if it was actually safe or not

Maybe lower the dose a bit if you don't have a tolerance. 5 mg would put me on my ass!

Ive taken 1/2 my normal dose of Xanax before a shroom trip once and I took 4gs of Tcs that were potent and had many dope trips with and it was very mild at best im just saying benzos are generally trip diminishing chems. For many many years medical treatment for "ODs" of psyches have been valium, ativan and sometimes xanax. Its an awesome chem to have on the comedown so you don't get mindfucked too bad but its not a pre dosing chem imo.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I wanted to take it so I could tune in on the trip a little more, relax a little more too. My mind tends to race on the come up on psychedelics. It might dull the trip, but i'll also have more shrooms on hand if I find the need to dose a little higher I think im going to go ahead and try it out with the ativan this time, you never know, each person is different I suppose and this could be an experiment for me to try out. I might leave weed out on this trip too, the last 2 times i've tripped I smoked an insane amount of it and I think thats what mind fucked me and ruined it for me last time. Too much going on. Then again, slamming down some tea made from almost 10lbs of Cyans on an empty stomach for breakfast is almost certain to give you a mind fuck and some sort of anxiety if you're not expecting much. With, or without weed

Benzodiazepines are currently one of the best ways to stop trips. However, taken in small doses, it can take away anxiety and bad aspects of the come up. Use a smaller amount than normal!

There is no point in even taking shrooms if you take Ativan. It will nullify most of the effects, you need to be off it for a while before you can get a dose in. Also Ativan is a horrible substance.

Ativan will take away most if not all of the mental/psychological aspect of the trip. I ate up to 14 grams once, over the course of a few hours and had awesome hallucinations but no head trip. Kind of felt like cheating....
