Thr VA gave them to me and its like drinking coffee befoe going to bed ## Having abstained from coffee for several hours, and feeling a little tired, I took my first 20mg of temazepam and settled down with a book before attempting to doze off. I am WIDE awake. I found myself tossing and turning, stretching myself, humming various tunes, rolling on the bedroom floor. Is this supposed to be a soporific or an amphetamine by another name? ## If you taken 20mg of temazepam for the first time ever and your wide awake and restless you didn't get your pills from doctor or you have been given the wrong medication by accident. You would be very nicely chilled out and in the land of dreams after a short period. I would definately go straight by to your doctor/pharmicist/dealer and complain ## ...

I have been on Flurazepam for some time and am being told by my pharmacy that there is a manufacture problem and they don't know when it will be in. Feeling anxious as I know I would have side affects if I just stop it. Any one have information on this? ## Unfortunately, some sources are listing it as having been discontinued. Thus, the best thing to do might be to consulted your doctor about trying an alternative medication. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for your response; I'm still researching. Nothing more for now. ## Flurazepam has there been any update I have not been able to find in the last mon...

How does Aurobindo Zolpidem differ from the Torrent Zolpidem? ## It is my personal opinion that Torrent works much better, I've been taking zolpidem for many many years so I consider myself an expert of sorts. When they give me the Aurobindo brand sometimes it doesn't work at all. ## They are just manufactured by different companies. Some people notice a difference, like John said, but most people don't. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Zolpidem as possibly including nausea, dizziness, severe sedation, hallucinations, lucid dreaming, and sleep actions. Ref: Medline Plus Can anyone else chime in with their experiences? ## YES! Made my insomnia so much worse. ## I agree. Aurobindo sucks. It often doesn't cause me to sleep and when I do sleep, even if the Aurobindo...

In winter / spring of 2010 my wife started having regular episodes of insomnia and by April it was affecting her pretty badly. She told me she thought she was clinically depressed. She had never had any previous mental problems the whole 20 years I knew her- never any mention of suicidal thoughts. We were happily married and had been saving money over time plus had a large inheritance- we were in the process of looking for a house to buy. I sent her to the doctor to get a sleep aid. He prescribed Ambien but it didn't work and it had bad side effects for her. By early June she had missed work a few times and went back to the doctor to try something else. She also told him she was suffering from anxiety (racing thoughts that prevented sleep). He prescribed a combination of Trazadone (...

I take Temazepam 1 or 2 times a week. Would I have withdrawal symptoms from this frequency of use and dosage? ## How long have you been taking it? According to FDA reports, this medication does carry the risk of being habit forming and a sudden withdrawal can create the risk of seizures. The typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritable. ## I need to know how to taper off temazepam 15 mg? I have been taking it for more than a year now. ## "how to taper off temazepam 15 mg" Try switching to another benzo and taper from there. I would try Valium or such. ## Withdrawals from benzos are pretty much guaranteed. Anxiety etc. Essentially it's the basic laws of thermodynamics. For every high, upon withdrawal, the opposite low. However y...

Desperate times again. What to do? Where to go? This is absurd. Now back where we were 2 years ago, no one else makes it!! Clock is ticking now on my life, as I'm too old to go through the benzo hell of detox. ## Have you spoken to your doctor about what alternative you can take? Flurazepam is a benzodiazepine that carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and mood changes. Ref: Flurazepam Information Are you on any other medications? ## There are other sleep meds available, I believe Dalmane (brand name of Flurazepam by Roche) was the very first benzo hypnotic (sleeping pill). Is Halcion still available? Then there's Doral (Quazepam) and Pro-Som (Estazolam). They don't make anything good anymore l...

Please help; doctor doesn't want me as a patient anymore, reasons are ridiculous and too long to get into, but now she has put me in a jam. I was taking Clonazepam 2mg. 2 tablets 2x per week(for anxiety & sleep), & Temazepam 30mg. 2 tablets 2x per week(for sleep). I have been on both these drugs for 2 1/2 years & want to get the heck off them. I noticed the last couple months; neither appeared to be helping the anxiety/sleep issues I have had; so basically I just want off both. I have been Clonazepam free for 11 days now. I CANNOT believe how I feel--like I could crawl right out of my skin; anxiety ridden, non stop talking,completely wired,nerves jumping in arms & legs, more and more and on and on. Bad idea to go cold turkey, but did & now out of them. So I have ...

Have taken 10-20mg of temazepam for last 8-10 weeks about 5 days a week with a couple of week periods without any. Started noticing strong focus issues and grogginess throughout the day; have stopped cold turkey for 5 days now and am suffering from: anxiety, slight neck soreness, poor concentration, strange stomach sensations and hot flashes. Symptoms seem to have decreased a bit each day since cessation. Should my withdrawal symptoms clear up any time soon? ## I think you are coming off these meds far too quickly. Take at least a week taking them at a little lesser dosage, then two weeks at the next lowered dosage and so on. Three weeks on next and so on. Dont rush it. Get to the point where you even shave off some of your tablet. ## What Lorna has stated is correct, it is really much ...

I was prescribed 15mg temazepam capsules in August 2008 to help me sleep. I still have some from 2008; it is now the year 2016. Is it safe to take or has it expired? ## This medication does not become dangerous once expired, but it does lose effectiveness over time. After this many years, they are most likely useless and you should dispose of them. The FDA warns that such a medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I AM TAKING 15 MG OF RESTORIL .I TAKE ULTRAM FOR MY BACK PAIN WOULD LIKE TO COME OFF RESTORIL AND TAKE ONE ULTRAM IN AM AND THE OTHER AT BEDTIME WOULD THAT WORK OR WOULD I STILL HAVE TO CONE OFF SLOWER ## 30 mg 5 yrs old times 2 has a 16 yr o...

My psych prescribed me Temazepam 15 mg. He also has me on Lexapro 20 mg & Zanax up to 4mg per day. My fiance went to pick up the rx for me and the pharmacist gave a huge lecture on how I should not be taking Temazepam and Xanax. I initially dismissed that info, feeling that my dr would not have prescribed if there was a concern. However, I read all the blah blah on it causing "sleep driving" and all that stuff, which freaks me out so I didn't take the medication. Does anyone know how common those side effects are? Should I even be concerned? **Additional Info: My benzo tolerance is relatively high due to years of anxiety meds. I also take Norco & Ritalin. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated. Thanks! ## Is it possible that your doctor meant it to replace the X...

My script has been filled with some round 7-5mg zopiclone. I know they're bad, or at least I think they are. They have BL on them. People I know have taken them and say they work, but these guys would drink petrol if it worked. Just wondering if you've heard of them? ## Where did they get these from? Online or from the UK? I just received my latest refill that are round white Zopiclone 7.5 mg with BL on one side. I have taken blue oval zopiclone 7.5 mg in Canada and the white ones did not have any effect? ## The pills you have are zopiclone. They are made by Bristol laboratories. ## Bristol laboratories Zopiclone 7.5 mg (round with BL marked) are no good. ## I had the ones with BL on them and they were white.

I obtained some Zopiclone and they are usually oval shaped and white in colour, 7.5mg but these are round and off white coloured with a large Z on one side of the pill and a score mark on the other, has anyone had anything similar? I tried the pill identifier online and it came up with something for headaches called Zomig. Thanks in advance. ## Since this is not approved and prescribed in the U.S., it would not be listed in the U.S. pill identifier databases, because non-approved products that aren't sold here do not fall under the law that requires them to be listed. And on that note, I haven't been able to find any information on a tablet with just a Z marking and it may be difficult for us to track it down, being that it is from a foreign source. Have you tried contacting the...

I have taken zopiclone many times before and they're usually oval white with a z, but I got some recently that are white and round with a BL on it and would like to know if they are a good manufacturer? ## I got some from my pharmacy today never had these b4. ## I got some of the white round (zopiclone) with the BL, I have don't have any history on them, and to night will be taking my second dose of two pills they put me to sleep, I still had that metallic after taste the next morning.

I'm planning on going to India soon, so I'd be really grateful if anyone has any ideas on this. Such as: can I pick up nembutal in India? - Maybe even over the counter in a shop? ## I will be highly grateful if someone can tell me about the availability of nembutal... And just to mention beforehand, it won't certainly be used for euthanasia. ## Hello Carob, I personally do not have the answer you are looking for but one way of finding out is to contact a foreign embassy for the country you are trying to visit and ask them about the legality of the drug you are looking for. More than likely they will have all of the answers you need or at least have a source that you can turn to in order to get the answers.

I have been diagnosed with DSPS. Not sure if that is the correct diagnosis; Basically I can fall asleep just fine, at any hour. I can adjust my sleep schedule as needed, BUT when I did a sleep study the specialist noticed that my brain waves were significantly more active than they should have been in deep REM sleep. IE: The doctor told me "my brain was waking up" 5-6 times an hour, despite the fact that I was sleeping through the night and getting into deep REM. I was prescribed Temazepam and that seemed to help a lot as i can FALL asleep i'm just not getting quality sleep because my brain wont stop. I have lost my insurance and my doctors want over $150 just to make an appointment to possibly even get my prescription renewed and i still have to cover the scrip cost on my o...

I've been on lunesta for 10 years straight. I have to take at least half of a 3 mg pill every night or no sleep. If there are any side effects, I am not aware of them. Anyone else been on the pill that long? ## Hello, Mark! How are you? I am glad this medication is working so well for you, without causing side effects. Some of its typical ones, according to the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, next day hangover-like effects, and funny taste in mouth. Can anyone that's been on it long term chime in with their experiences? ## Yes, please do. Any feedback is welcome. ## Mark, Hi, I can speak to more than a handful of clients currently being treated at our facility that developed a tolerance to this benzo like substance which lunesta is categorized as.

We got a 90 day Rx from our mail order pharmacy of Teva 74, the round pills. We usually get the oblong Zolpidem pills. We feel that the round pills do not work and are having to take more than normal to do the job. Can you tell me why the round ones don't work, but the oblong do. ## Hello, Lori! How are you doing? There can be some slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic medication to another, so this one may be a little lower in it than the other, which could explain why it isn't working as well for you. Learn more Zolpidem details here. Usually, your body will adjust after a week or so, as long as the difference isn't huge.
