I tried my best to tell him that Restoril was good, then he asked me do you mix your benzodiapines at night? sometimes, well that's what i've been doing for years. He, said "i'm sorry, that is not how it going to be done in my practice"


Sorry -- there's a contradiction there. Your new doctor is correct -- it's not a good idea to mix benzos that way, and that does sound like abuse to me. Did your old doctor tell you to mix the two? If so, I have grave reservations regarding the treatment you were getting.

As for the way you've described your doctor and your state, I think this one may be a better choice for you. You're describing emotional dysregulation which will probably respond better to Seroquel or Risperdal than it does to Xanax. And the new non-benzodiazepine benzo receptor agonists are very effective for sleep -- with a lower risk of recreational use.

I think you're in better hands now, and I hope that you'll give this doctor a fair chance to prove the wisdom of his choices for you.
