bupropion and ativan

I am on 100 mg of bupropion and was feeling a little anxious. Before taking bupropion, when I felt a little anxious my roommate would give me one of his ativan's, but a full 0.5 would make me sleepy…so I cut it down to 0.25 which worked nicely. I have started to do that with the bupropion…is that ok?

Ditto the above.

You don't want to be taking other's medication, especially a controlled substance.  If you feel your medication regimen isn't working, talk to your doctor, don't take matters into your own hands.

It is not ok to take others medicine as that is very dangerous. You should not determine your own dose, that should be done under the supervision of a doctor.
