Ativan and lonazep belong to same group (benzodiapine).
Its generally irrational to take both of these together on daily basis for any medical condition.

You be tried with medicines to augment and remit depressive symptoms, consult with your psychiatrist. Also mood elevators can be tried apart from antidepressants. Your 20 years of symptom and medication history needs to be known, before suggesting something. All the best.

Chocolate cyst suggests that you may endometriosis. This condition can cause problems in functioning of fallopian tubes poor egg quality and other hormonal imbalances. Do a laparoscopy after some time if you are unable to conceive. Taking medicines just to make the cyst smaller has no benefit and would act as a contraceptive so not recommended while you r trying to conceive.
