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.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  Insomnia Taking 15mg of Restoril and 0.5mg of clonazepam at night. Restoril for insomnia and Clonozepam for anxiety. Not really satisfied with the Restoril. I take it right before I go to sleep. I can sleep for 3 hours and have a very restless sleep tossing and turning then wake up. I’ve had insomnia for about 3-4 years now and was hoping this would be my wonder drug but it doesn’t do the job. I’d like to sleep at least 5-6 hrs straight instead I awake up then struggle to try and fall back to sleep again. By then it’s time to wake up for the day. I have the craziest dreams or nightmares. I just keep going over the same dream over and over again. I dread going to sleep because I know i’ll Have a night mare. Sometimes I jump up with my chest pounding. I go back to sleep sometimes having the sweats. Beside that I feel groggy in the morning and feel depressed not wanting to do anything but wallow in self pity and even anger because I’m beginning to become dependent on it. I’ve only been on Restoril for a month now so I’m going to just take it as needed because I’m also on the Clonozepam which also makes me sleepy. I take the Restoril as needed. My Dr. Said it’s not for long term use just as needed but now I take it every night. I guess now would be the time to taper slowly. I’ve taken Ambien before also caused me to have weird dreams but I slept longer. I can’t function without at least 5-6 hrs of straight sleep. Not as great as my Dr. said it was. These drs just prescribe these meds like they’re candy from the discount store. They know the drugs are habit forming. At least mine told me to just use as needed, I’m grateful for that. Also these drugs are not good for your kidneys or liver Ask and do your research before filling your prescriptions . I’m sorry I even filled my Restoril script!! F 50 4 weeks

 5  insomnia Morning hangover Well I usually only review drugs when they are terrible, but this one was actually pretty good. I've been dealing with insomnia for several months now and was prescribed restoril. It put me out quickly and would keep me out for about 7 hours. I would recommend this one. I also tried ambien. It was good too,just a little less sleep but no hangover at all. M 27 7 days

 3  Sleep Reduce inhibitions, leading to unacceptable behavior. Felt really tired the next morning if I did not get ten to twelve hours sleep. After a month my body started getting accustomed to and behavior returned to normal. Now only take on Fridays and Saturdays night when I can sleep in. If I get a good day in the yard working I don't need them to go to sleep. F 52 6 months

 2  trouble falling and staying asleep Slight loss of memory and congnitime skills waking up, numbness in limbs and shakiness. Restoril did absolutely nothing for me. I took the prescribed dosage, slept for about 3-4 hours then I'd wake up and couldn't sleep. I started taking 2 pills (30mcg) still couldn't sleep. I literally took the medication an hour or more before bedtime and it would not help me at all. Needless to say it was frustrating because I just couldn't sleep. At one point I even took 3 and nothing. I stopped using the medication. It didn't help me. F 31 10 days

 4  sleep disorder Relaxes me and takes away my inhibitions. Memory loss. Now able to sleep. Husband thinks it is a god send. My family physician prescribed one 7.5 mg 1/2 hr before bedtime. That did not help. After a week he said to take two an hour before bedtime. That helped but I would wake up after 3 or 4 hrs and could not go back to sleep. Then he change the Dosage to 15 mg. 1 an hour before bed and the other about 15 to 20 minutes before bed. I do not take this unless my husband is home, as I have had some uncharacteristic behavior. That is similar to the previous post. But I now get a full night sleep, with a very happy husband. This is only a band aid. I need to find a non chemical cure. F 56 21 days

 5  sleep disorder I take one 15 mg at dinner then one 15 mg about 10 minutes before going to bed. I am out like a light for about an hour or two until my husband comes to bed. When he gets home I am horny as hell. I guess it take the edge off. Gat to have sex then I sleep like a baby. Doc. put me on 15 mg but that does nothing the second tab work wonders. F 59 2 months

 3  Insomnia Nightmares I have tried Ambien in the past-- only works for about 2-3 hours then restless night. Restoril works. I have taken it 5 times over two weeks. It gets me to sleep fairly quickly, I sleep fairly well, I dream, the next morning I feel groggy. Now for the caveat! This drugs creates horrible nightmares and I NEVER have bad dreams. I have very troubling dreams-- one night rattle snakes in my kitchen were after me, fast too, I woke my self up. Another dream I walked in a room and the door locked behind me, the room was filled with yellow jackets. Yes, all the experiences one doesn't want to embrace. I wake up, afraid to go back to sleep. I get one terrible event 4 out of 5 times I take it. Oh, and another bonus to Restoril-- it stays in your system for 48 hours. I can tell my dreams don't return to normal for 2-days after not taking it. I may try taking a lessor amount, but am afraid of the dreams. M 56 2 weeks
15 MG 1X AN
