Is anyone retaking Chartwell Flurazepam and getting the same results as they had with Mylan? It did not work for me. I'm so depressed about it after being so happy that it is back on the market. Thoughts?

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...

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...

Flurazepam has anybody had problems cutting back on this drug? ## It really depends on how much and how long you have been taking it. Our bodies can become dependent on anything that we ingest on a regular basis for a long period of time. It doesn't matter if it is your morning coffee or a Diet Coke with lunch. Stopping anything like this abruptly, will result in some withdrawal symptoms, the severity depends, as I said, on how much you used and how long you have been using it. This drug is a Benzodiazepine derivative, so it is addictive in itself, so if you have been on it for a long period of time, you will more than likely experience adverse effects if you stop taking it cold turkey.

Both are very powerful and 250mcg of either should be regarded as maximum dosage. The...

Someone in another thread here wrote that their father takes four 2mg Clonazepam to get to sleep. He's having problems because he is taking Amitriptyline at the same time. Well the answer is in the question. Don't take either. Clonazepam is not a hypnotic sleeper. Amitriptyline isn't either. The latter is just rubbish to get you out of surgery and Clonazepam is a strong Benzo that helps prevent seizures in Epilepsy. Halcyon is/was a great sleeping pill. Flurazepam and Flunitrazepam allowed in Sweden is another. Phenobarbital, Tunal, and Temazepam are not so good but are a hypnotic. I hope this helps anyone else who may be seeking alternative sleep aids. ## Amitripylene is a horrible drug! Was prescribed this because I had a bad reaction to gabipinton.

I have been on Tramadol for about 2 months, have you heard of a metallic taste from taking this? I was taking Gabapentin and thought that it was that, but off over month a still have metallic taste? ## Hello, Frank! How are you? Yes, it can sometimes affect your sense of taste, as a side effect. The FDA warns that it may be habit forming and other side effects to Tramadol may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. It's a very common thing with most medications, actually. It can also be worsened by the dry mouth, so you may find some relief by sucking on mints, or something, if your doctor approves, to help keep your mouth moist. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take Tramadol and occasional flurazepam. Suddenly I have been getting a metallic ta...
