These are not usual drugs for COPD, morphine is used to supress caughs. Lorazepam and morphine together are very sedating when used together. Also the older the patient the more the side effect are seen. Thiis sounds like something else is going on. I would see if you can speak to the doctor who is ordering all 3 of these meds together... Good luck..Dave
