| 4 | couldnt get to sleep | sometimes memory loss while drug is active in body | M | 33 | | 6/19/2002 | 5 | Ambien | None | 7.5mg is enough, and leaves me without hang-overs in the morning. | F | 34 | 90 days | 7/14/2003 | 5 | Insomnia | None | I get 7-8 hours of sleep with 7.5mg | F | 33 | 6 months | 7/14/2003 | 4 | insomnia | None. No morning residual. Drug has pretty short half life. | Worked well several months then began waking early morning again. Switched to lorazapam for several months then to clonazepam. Have read numerous references that suggest that persons that need sleep aids on long term basis need to rotate them. I've certainly seen that to be the case with all I've taken, including Ambien. | M | 52 | 3 months | 9/26/2003 | 4 | Restless leg syndrome | None | After tolerating jerking legs and also some times other parts of the body for some six hours while in the hospital chest pain clinic I was given one dose of Restoril. It did allow me to sleep for about 4 hours and when I woke up I had no more problems with the RLS. I do wish it had helped me sleep longer than just 4 hours tho. | F | 61 | 1 times | 11/30/2003 | 5 | insomnia | No side effects | Took 7.5 mg dose, fell asleep peacefully, seemed to make me quit worrying. Woke up with alarm clock at 5 a.m. and felt great! | F | 40 | 3 weeks | 5/9/2004 | 5 | insomia | no side effects | leaves me feeling rested in the AM, with no groggy feeling | F | 52 | 2 years | 5/19/2004 | 1 | INSOMNIA | SEVERE ANXIETY / DEPRESSION | F | 44 | 4 weeks | 10/13/2004 | 5 | Insomnia | None | Restored my ability to sleep. I'd had insomnia for about 10 years when I started using Restoril 12 years ago. | F | 66 | 12 years | 11/2/2004 | 2 | cant sleep | seizures | it is use as a date rape drug!!!! | F | 20 | 7 days | 11/2/2004 | 4 | insomnia | A couple times I can't remember what happened before I went to bed. Only take it when you are safe at home, best when supervised. | A lot of nights I sleep without moving once. Other nights I sleep well. I fall asleep very fast and rarely wake up throughout the night. Little to no hangover. I am on 30 mg. Great for insomnia. Do not use for recreation! I have woken up not remembering how I got to bed. Thank god I have a fiance that can make sure I don't do anything stupid. He told me I had a 45 minute conversation with him one night which I do not remember. Humerous and scary. One night I took this after drinking 3 cocktails throughout the night and couldn't walk straight. I wouldn't recommend mixing with alcohol. | F | 25 | 2 months | 11/15/2004 | 5 | Sleep problems. | Some blackouts if taken too early before bed. Taste changes with food. Rebound insomina after two or more weeks of nightly use. Some | M | 43 | 10 years | 11/19/2004 | 1 | Insomnia | Made me light-headed. Basically I felt drunk, but I was unable to fall asleep. | M | 27 | 5 times | 1/21/2005 | 2 | Insomnia | Hangover | This medication did nothing other than make me feel dizzy and | M | 29 | 4 times | 1/25/2005 | 2 | Insomnia | Hangover | This medication did nothing other than make me feel dizzy and | M | 29 | 4 times | 1/25/2005 | 3 | sleep | good drowsiness | M | 33 | 11 days | 2/5/2005 | 1 | Bipolar II | Was put on it for insomnia. Built a tolerance in no time and got addicted to it. Couldn't sleep without. I quit, but it was hard. | I don't recommend this crap or benzos altogether for sleep. If you can't sleep, use Seroquel - it works and you don't get a freaking med dependence problem. | M | 26 | 2 months | 2/19/2005 | 4 | Insomnia | Confusion, increased appetite...makes me really hungry and I feel like I can't get enough to eat. | Helps me sleep all night which I usually can't do. No hangover feeling in the morning and I wake rested and refreshed. | M | 28 | 2 days | 3/17/2005 | 1 | insomnia | This initially worked well for insomnia, but after three weeks of 15mg, my body started to build a tolerance for it, and it stopped working. I skipped a night, and learned that I'm both tolerant and have a dependency on it, as is common with benzodiazepines. I can't sleep with it and I can't sleep without it--after only three weeks. Be careful! You can get dependent in only three weeks. I am now on a taper-schedule. | F | 33 | 25 days | 4/19/2005 | 5 | sleep at night | none | I take it at night time to sleep. I have COPD and I am on Oxygen. Temazepam helps me sleep. I have been on it since 2001. Thats when I found out I had COPD.I take it every night. | F | 57 | 2001 years | 5/2/2005 |
RESTORIL (TEMAZEPAM): This medication is used to treat a certain sleep problem (insomnia). It may help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and lessen how often you wake up during the night, so you can get a better night's rest. Temazepam belongs to a class of drugs called sedative-hypnotics. It acts on your brain to produce a calming effect. Use of this medication is usually limited to short treatment periods of 1 to 2 weeks or less. If your insomnia continues for a longer time, talk to your doctor to see if you need other treatment.
