| 1 | insomnia | This did not work for me. I stayed awake all night, tossing and turning. Gave me leg cramps. Got up with nausea and dizziness. This was 2 days ago and I still don't feel well. | F | 73 | 1 days 7.5 mg 1X day | 10/27/2020 | 2 | Insomnia due to other meds | Dizziness, increased appetite, headache, grogginess in the morning | This sh*t sucks. I started at 15 MG, didn't work. Doc bumped me up to 30 MG, still didn't work. So again another increase to my current 45 MG. It takes forever to work even if you take it after you've digested your supper. I take it & while waiting for it to "work" I develop an insatiable hunger. For sweets. It takes a little over an hour for me to fall asleep. Then I sleep for about three hours and wake up with a pounding headache. But three hours of sleep is better than NO sleep, and I've tried all the other stuff, including Ambien, which was like taking caffeine pills. The only thing that works for me is Xanax, but I got addicted to that & had to go through horrible withdrawal. I'll keep taking this crap until my doc can think of something that might work. | F | 45 | 1 months 45 MG 1X day | 10/21/2011 | 5 | insomnia | Very dizzy if I wasn't in bed right away. Habit forming. | Make sure you are in bed no longer than 10 minutes after taking it. I took 30mg doses. I decided I wanted to try getting off so much prescription medicine so I stopped taking it about 3 months ago and I still have trouble falling asleep at night. Seriously considering getting back on it. I fell asleep fast, stayed asleep, and woke up feeling refreshed. No drowsiness or memory loss. It was great. | F | 20 | 9 months | 11/2/2008 | 5 | Insomnia and Anxiety | Was prescribed 30 capsules of 30mg. After taking the 30mg before bedtime, I would still be awake for hours, so I would have to take another 30mg about 3 hours later but would still wake up every 90 minutes, however this time I would actually fall back asleep easily. No euphoria, just slight dizziness and very minor memory loss. In the morning no adverse effects at all. I am very much UN-concerned about addiction and though benzo withdrawl is unpleasant, try to keep a reserve stash for emergencies, or taper down in dosage before running out before refill time. This sort of discipline goes a long way. | I have tried everything from herbs to beer to Ambien. Nothing worked. I find Restoril a mild anxiolytic compared to say Xanax. For insomnia there is no equal. I think there is a stigma against benzos and narcotic-type painrelievers for that matter. Fact is though, you have to do something or you may just lose your mind. I was a nighttime manic and daytime zombie before I had enough and just came out and plainly asked for Restoril. I'm glad I did. | M | 44 | 2 months | 9/20/2007 | 1 | insomnia | dizziness, restlessness, waking up 2-3 hours later unable to fall asleep, drowsiness, nauseous hangover feeling because I still couldn't sleep while on this medication! | This did not help me sleep much. It helped me fall asleep, unless I was especially upset/anxious then it didn't work at all. I got about 2-3 hours a night, which is better than no sleep at all I guess. When I woke up I had difficulty falling back asleep even though I was so tired. I laid there not even knowing if I were alseep or awake for the rest of the night. It also made me throw up in the morning if I could not sleep. Ambien works better. | F | 21 | 1 weeks | 7/25/2006 |
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.
