Skin Prick Allergy Test and Ativan
I am getting a skin prick test done on Monday for a possible nut allergy. I have severe anxiety and the Allergist said ok to take .5 of Ativan before test. But now I have been reading that this can interfere with the test? I called and he said no, dont worry about it. Why would this interfere and HOW would this interfere with a skin prick test? Is it dangerous?
You are welcome dear.
You should do fine. The 0.5 mg will be just enough to take the edge off.

Thank YOU!! The last allergist I had told me I couldnt take it even though I have SEVERE medical phobia and have to take Ativan for Paps, teeth cleaning, anything medical. He said it would interfere with the test. The new allergist said it was fine! I see him for the prick test tomorrow. Thank you for putting my mind at ease!!
