Well, well, well.....
I think every box of pills these days comes with a huge list of "don'ts". I pity any woman who is planning on getting pregnant and suffers from well "anything". All the drugco's want is a release of responsibility of course. I used to peel off & collect the stupid little stickers that pharmacists put on even my sleeping pills here! Things like "do not take this medication and drive or operate heavy machinery" and my favourite "this medication may make you drowsy". I should bloody hope so..!
On a personal note, I've had severe central sleep apnoea for years - maybe forever before I was diagnosed. I stop breathing on average once every 2 mins all night..!
And yet, I've been mixing benzos with alcohol since I was 16. I'm sure it's possible to vomit & then choke & die. Certainly the benzos would make death a little more likely in that scenario.
But since I've matured a bit (20 yrs) I don't drink to get drunk any more. So for me, the clonazepam, alprazolam & zolpidem goes down very well with a long vodka & orange. :)
What?
Well of course it's REAL orange juice..! Gotta get my vitamins somewhere.....
And to quote the HAL9000 computer in "2001 - A Space Odyssey":
"Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over."
And what do you get when you add one letter to H-A-L....?
