temazepam: I have a prescription for both Zolpidem Tartrate (Ambien) 10mg. and Temazepam (30mg.). I use one or the other to sleep on occasion. Rarely do I use any pill for two nights in a row. I have found both acceptable and have experienced some sleep-walking episodes on occasion, especially early on, but now, for either of these the worst I get at my current age of 67 is some occasional morning fog, as was reported by others here.

temazepam: Had severe sleep problems coupled with depression for years, am on 300mg venlafaxine, was taken off Zimovane and put on temazepam 3 weeks ago and still waiting for it to have an effect on me. It simply hasn't worked.

temazepam: Great for insomnia and I can now sleep for 7-8 hours. First week I took it, I had the grogginess for 1st hour after waking up, but that has gone away. I only take it 2 -3 nights a weeks and it gives me all of the rest and sleep I need. I am also a sleep apnea patient and sleep with a CPAP machine as often as I can. This medicine helps me to keep cpap mask on all night. I have COPD and mild depression also. I do not think I would take it every night. I am on 15 mg.

temazepam: Had problems staying asleep and was waking up every two hours or so. Since I've started taking this I have slept better although can still wake up once a night. Don't have any side effects that I've noticed.

temazepam: I have taken this for the past 2 nights and it has not worked for me at all. It's like I haven't even taken anything. I can't sleep. I don't know what I should do or if I should try it with something else. Or if I am supposed to take it a certain amount of time before bed or what but all I know is I am not even sleepy even 2 hours after taking this medication.

Restoril (temazepam): The first time I took Restoril was the longest I've slept in over 20 years. I truly cannot remember ever sleeping 7 hours at one time. I have been taking Restoril for over 3 years now and I can usually count on 5 hours of sleep. The only side effects that I have noticed are forgetfulness and sometimes balance.

temazepam: I think this is an exceptionally effective, yet safe insomnia drug. I have had terrible reactions to Ambien and other Ambien-type drugs like Sonata- causing hallucinogenic-type symptoms and odd behavior, but Temazepam is effective and safe.

temazepam: It is wonderful, half an hour before bed, especially with one nortriptyline. A beautiful sleep. Blurred vision and dry mouth are the annoying bits.

temazepam: I haven't been on this medicine long but, it seems to do exactly what it was prescribed for. I have been on it for a week now and no real side effects to speak about (other then the couple of hours the next morning of being a little groggy). Otherwise it does what it is supposed to. Sweet dreams all, I think I'll go to bed now. See it works.

Restoril (temazepam): I tried this for insomnia after trying many different medications. It does work great for helping you fall asleep and staying asleep, but it does have side effects. Being a hypnotic it does cause you to do things in your sleep you might not remember when you wake up. For example: After taking it one night, I woke up the next morning to find myself soaking wet. I had a bottle of water on my chest. I had poured the water all over myself during the night and had no memory of it. This is just me though, some people have no problems with this medication. Overall, it works great for helping you fall asleep.

Restoril (temazepam): Works well, but leaves a bit of a "hangover". Ambien is better, however I rearranged my furniture 1 night and have no memory of it. So its safe to say I quit taking Ambien after that incident and changed to Restoril.

temazepam: Did not work very well for me. My main problem is waking up in the middle of the night, worrying, and not being able to fall back asleep. I've tried taking 15 mgs before going to bed, and it really has no effect. Still wake up in the middle of the night, with anxiety.
On the plus side, it really had no side effects to speak of. On the minus side, it really had no effects at all. Maybe the dosage was too low for me? Don't know, but it was exactly the same as if I had taken nothing at all.

temazepam: This medicine at the dosage I'm taking (7.5 mg) doesn't work for me. I finally get to sleep 2-3 hours after taking it and then I feel like I'm in a daze the next day.

temazepam: I have trouble falling asleep once or twice a week. Temazepam works great for my insomnia, as long as you take only the amount that you need. Make sure you have 8 hours to sleep, and you take it only a couple of nights per week it works wonders.

temazepam: The only sleeping pill i have tried that does not make me feel like I've been hit by a bus in the morning. A really refreshing sleep. Also taking cipramil and epilim and no adverse reactions.

temazepam: I have bad insomnia and have literally tried every sleeping pill currently available by prescription. Restoril is the only one that gives me relief from the insomnia.

temazepam: Puts you to sleep fast, another benzodiazepam that works very well. Better than Ambien as it doesn't cause you to feel as hung over or moody the next day.
