that is actually not true, temazepam has a really fast half life for a benzo, it us usually OUT OF A PERSONS SYSTEM ENTIRELY withing 24 hours. I think this guy is talking about a standard drug test not hair folicle or something crazy......it is VERY short lived compared to every other benzo out there.

I took 60 mg of tamazepam on a Thursday morning after not sleeping for 3 days because of an obnoxious roommate and tested positive for benzos on a Saturday night. However, I tested clean that following Monday. From my experience if you are not taking benzos on a regular basis (more than 3 days per week) they cycle out of your system fairly quickly, even with different variations of benzos. Now, if you are taking them every single day you should probably have a prescription in which case testing positive for benzos would be exceptable. But every day use can still be eliminated in a matter of a week or several days, if you have any knowledge of getting drugs out of your system I.e. Exercise, water consumption, vitamins, sauna, creatine and exercise supplements, energy drinks etc etc. body fat %, metabolism, activity, and amount and period of time consistently using the all play a significant roll in removing unwanted drugs from your system.

Yes, the Temazepam itself will be out of the urine within 24 hours, However the metabolites can be detected much longer. The half life of Temazepam is on average 10 hours. So depending on the persons metabolism...could be less or more. The metabolites average is about 2 to 3 days for a 30 mg. dose. Below is a URL good little tool I picked up that I will share with you. If the link does not work if you click on it, then copy and paste it to your address box and hit enter. It will work on any drug if you know the half life and dosage.

For a sleep aid try temazepam 22.5mg..gets me 5 hrs. For pain try exalgo 12mg. You can get a higher dose but this is a 24hr. release opiate that leaves you very clear headed. Not like oxy or fentanyl. And F*** that Dr. Go see someone else. Why do you think you are stuck with him? He's trying to force drugs on you and that's illegal.

Hey man, lady parent, child or whoever you are, I have been a drug counselor for approximately 18-20 years. Based on my experiences while counseling people for practically any drug addiction including research it appears as though you may have experienced the excitement of Temazepam 15mg on a one time basis therefore you do not have to worry about your your drug test coming up positive unless you administered the drug 2-3 days before the drug test, otherwise one pill you should be okay. It takes about two weeks to clean your system if you take the prescription meds on a regular bases. "NOW GET SOME SLEEP".

Ok... EVERYONE is wrong! I just had seen my labs since I do go to pain management and was stunned! I have not taken Temazepam [Restoril] 30 mg since 10/2015; this is over a YEAR ago and it is STILL showing up in my urine. As of 2016/10/10: TEMAZEPAM UR 499 < 50 H Temazepam drug screen, urine. Maybe a DOCTOR can explain this. I was not on it for a long period of time. I do take another Benzo with it. That did show up as well. BUT this WOW! This was specific to Temazepam.

Amen..? "
First do no harm....." Dr's take this oath. Put aside for a moment that he isn't helping your pain...and just think about the way he response to you tears,etc.
Disputable bedside manner. Sorry honey, he has to go.

omg my heart goes out to you. I've been thru your exact situation can i say even 100x worse. 50 surgeries, 3 spinalc.stimulators infected mrsa plus more and skin mrsa, my fusion Rod was cut and he left it in screws fused to my organs left wires and sheathing in that fused to my shoulder and more to give you an idea. I'm probably gonna die..you don't have to take that from that dr. it's scary to change, I know. maybe just find regular m.d. vs pain management...there nuts these days. find one while you still have RX and tell them what your going thru. Cleveland clinic actually said they don't look at people as individuals they just issue same thing across the board.sad. even an internal medicine Dr and they'll care about you more. your in my prayers..the Lord can bring you to a caring Dr that can and will help you.

Syndee,

I have the same problem with my pain management doctor have been going to him for about 8 yrs. now. He warned me to be clean of restoril that is/was prescribed to me by my family dr... He said that here in Kentucky there was new laws that had passed in ky that benzos and opiates are now illegal in this state. I blame addicts that abuse drugs for recreational use. Why should people such as you and I have to suffer the consequences because of illegal recreational drug heads? There should be some way our voices and opinions should be heard at where these crazy laws are created.

So my nurse took me from Temazepam 30 mg down to Temazepam 15 mg that they got me on now. I can go to Atarax which is hydroxyzine and it makes me a little loopy but makes me feel good and makes me go to sleep cuz I have very very bad anxiety. I am a type 1 diabetic, 32 years on insulin pump, nerve damage, diabetic neuropathy, my neck was broken before due to a slipped disc in my back tearing/ripping causing spinal leakage. I also have pain throughout my legs. They lock up and my knees lock up. My back hurts all the time, I can't turn my neck or my head so I understand exactly where you coming from, but is there some type of juice I can drink before I go take a urine test that will clear out my system? My pain doctor literally told me not to have it in my system when he drops me for a urine test. What can I take to get it out of my system?

Temazepam will show up if you are taking some other Benzo's- I have not taken a Restoril/ Temazepam in 3 yrs but I take Valium/ Diazepam on a daily basis.
My pain management Dr will no longer treat me with narcotic/ opioids since I take Diazepam for Anxiety/depression/fast heart rate. AND Belsomra for insomnia & can not fall asleep with CPAP. I did try... Stayed up for 48 hours straight and ended up with an anxiety induced asthma attack used my Xopenex inhaler which I haven't used in 5 yrs. Instead of my heart rate of 118 on Diazepam it was 135. Thought I was going to have a heart attack. The inhaler helped a bit took a chewable 81mg aspirin with it just in case.
People stay away from Ambien.... I took it for a long time no problems. Then I started sleepwalking. Very dangerous drug!!

Re: Syndee (# 6)

After reading your story I am apauked and so sorry u have to deal with that.im 36 and been on many different meds n now I take perc 10s 4 times a day 25mcg fentynol patches (every 48 not 72 hrs) Valium baclofen a anti inflamitory n hormone from my hystoectomy.mostly pain meds n been on this regimen for about 3 yrs.id like it to help more but it's the most releif yet after many trial and errors with meds and drs.im in MI so unfortunately I can't reccomend a dr but maybe look for 1 who is a pain management rehabilitative care and pain phycologist. You will be more prone to a more compassionate Dr who understands your pains. Gets you to a more tolerable level. And helps u wk around high cost treatment and drugs.my Dr not only manages pain with meds but tries other methods like adjustments or what he calls the spine med table it's a 18 wk process that has worked miricles.he will adjust meds and not exceed the CD limits.feel free to look up the CD regulations in your area or TT your oharmasist and ask if what you take is the max in your area.im at the max.my break through meds were cut in half as soon as the law changed but everyone who was over the limit got cut.i sure hope there's a Dr that specializes in all of he above in your area.and if your Dr claims to he would be more compassionate and tt you.i wish you the best.
