Hi Phillipa, my nutritional doctor told me that benzos or diazepam (can't remember) reduce melatonin synthesis, which might be problematic for benzo using insomniacs. I'm going to do a melatonin saliver test, 3 times in one night.....Before going to sleep, on first awakening, and when I get up. On 2 different nights.
