@happytoseeyou I'm pretty sure that the doctors get paranoid about patients who take strong meds for sleep at night have a big risk in stopping breathing if the medication load is too high. The doctors never know if the patient exceeds the recommended dose, or whatever the case may be such that the patient is provided with more drugs than the doctors expect. None of the doctors want to openly admit they don't want to risk suicide from a patient or just a mere death due to overmedication. I had a surgeon who wouldn't prescribe me more than a handful of Codeine #3 tablets following my fall and subsequent triple fracture of my pelvis. He just wasn't going to risk a death to any patient with strong drugs. I despise him for that since I suffered greatly for several months until the fracture had healed.
