IS it anxieties or what

Yesterday morning i took my thyroid pill on an empty stomach, then around 6 i took my famotidine i ate breakfast around 7 and i took a 1mg of Ativan, and My Losartan 100mg which is a blood pressure pill and Amlodipine 2.5mg which is a small dose, also my Metformin after breakfast too. All day i felt tired i was feeling weak like i was going to fall out and i was crying a lot.
At dinner i took a 1mg of Ativan as prescribed around 6 and my Metformin and a multivitamin for some reason i felt really wired like i was getting dizzy and my heart rate went down so i went to lie down.
Instead of taking 1mg of Ativan at bed I only took 1/2 the dose and i got the same experience with the dizziness and feeling like i was having trouble breathing because i have sleep apnea.
This morning i took my thyroid pill at 5:30 and at 6:30 i took my Famotidine that at 7:30 i ate breakfast and today i only took 1/2 an Ativan instead of a whole one my Losartan, my Amlodipine, my Metformin and my vitamin d3 ski far no reaction today.
Plus i feel like i lose control of my urine at times and my stool
i am going to wait until bedtime to take my Ativan and see how i do with that tonight
What do you think caused my to feel dizzy and like my heart rate or blood pressure dropped

How long have you been on Losartan?  100 mg is a large dosage and it, too, can cause dizziness and tiredness... I was on only 25 mg for some time and I had some of those symptoms, plus weight gain/inability to lose, symptoms of a cold, etc... I no longer take it and no longer have those symptoms.  

It can also react with some of the other medications... You should do a thorough search of drug reactions between all those medications and check each of the side effects of all of them, including the "rare" side effects.  You'd be surprised how they can affect you and your doctor won't (probably can't, because he doesn't know) tell you, either... Your pharmacy tech doesn't have a clue, either...

I have been on Ativan since 1999 have not gone off it then i am on a small dose of Amlodipine 2.5mg for blood pressure and Losartan for blood pressure
100mg
I only took 1/2 a dose this morning
i know its prescribed 3mgs three times a day but maybe its way to much maybe i just need to cut it down.
Plus those Antidepressant meds cause me a lot of problems i had to stop the Nurontin 100mg 3 times a day because it made my heart rate go up and my blood pressure go up and it made me weak and feel like i was going to fall out and that was 3 weeks ago than the Trazodone i had to stop because of sever abdominal pain and diarrhea and the heart rate beating to fast
Tonight i am going to only take a 1mg of Ativan at bed time and only 1/2 in the morning with my blood pressure pills

How long have you been on the Ativan? Or the other medication? Anxiety can cause dizziness. I'm curious if you are having a side effect to a new medication? Sometimes when I take my klonopin I get a little dizzy.
