True, psych meds are mood altering drugs. The difference is that with illicit drugs you cannot be positive what they are cut with. True, benzos are fine. It is just a precaution for you that when you add alcohol and pot with the benzo, it possibly could depress your respiratory system so much that you go to sleep and don't wake up. I do agree that some pdocs just prescribe whatever new thing is offered. If that is the case for you, hopefully you can get a different pdoc. I had to search for mine for a long time. Hope my reply didn't sound too judgmental. I truly did not mean it that way. Wishing you the best.
