The combination can make you very drowsy. I found this first hand by taking just 0.5 mg Ativan and 5 mg Benadryl about 2 hours apart. I slept for 7 hours afterwards and still woke up a bit drousy. I try to avoid it as much as I can. If I get a skin rash (which is why I need Benadryk occasiunally) and already took Ativan that day, I will try first other methods (like an oatmeal bath or some topical meds).

No worries. I have taken 2 mg Ativan for anxiety, in combination with benadryl for my Allergies. Might make you a bit (or a lot) sleepier than taking either one without the other. That's about it. Go for it.

Yes, but both cause CNS depression and one may increase the CNS depression of the other. Make sure you don't take too much of the benadryl and be careful driving.

Yes. You can mix haldol and ativan for an IM injection. It's done frequently done in situations of frank psychoses, like in an ER or psychiatric facility and can be referred to as "halivan."
