Diazapam or zopiclone with Mirtazapine?

[Tootie]

i've developed a terrible fear of thunderstorms, and with some forecast for this week i wonder whether to take diazapam or zopiclone along with my usual 45mgs mirtazapine to see if i can sleep through it.
which would people recommend?

Check with your doctor darl but either I'd say. I have taken Zopiclone and valium with Mirtazapine and even Ativan.

Both have similar action, so it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. If possible, try to work on non-drug strategies for dealing with storms, with meds as a final back-up.
