Hi Amanda! U can, if it's the same medication.

One thing to note is that even though they are the same medication, the binders/fillers are usually different among various manufacturer's brands and generics. I just think it's important to be aware of this since there are studies proving that inactive ingredients can often hinder a pill's absorption and bioavailability.

Also, with lorazepam being a generic medication, the FDA allows manufacturer's to have a 20% variability in the amount of "active" ingredients; meaning that one pill could potentially be more or less effective than the other one... even if they list the same dosage.

Other than that, it sounds like taking two should be fine if that's the dosage your doctor recommends for you.

I hope this helps!
