The federal government frowns on doctors ordering both a benzo and an opioid to a patient. At least that's what my doctor said. He told me that, if I was unhappy about having to choose only one, I should write my congressman. A lot of deaths occur from opioid overdose. The risk of that happening goes up, if a person is also taking a benzo (like Restoril.) The respiratory drive can be suppressed.

Thanks MC. Sleep is important. I get enough, but not on a regular basis . . . so I can't plan my mornings.
