Pooh, the DEA doesn't say what combination of medications a pharmacist can and can't fill. But, due to the increased number of people that have died of a combination of opiates and Benzodiazepines as well as Soma, many pharmacists are very reluctant to fill that combination. Soma, Benzodiazepines and opiates all have Respitatory Depression as a side effect. A patient drinking alcohol in any amount, raises the risks. Many pharmacists don't feel it is worth taking a chance. There are other meds that can be used that may not be as dangerous in combination.
