User Reviews for Restoril

Restoril (temazepam): I work nights and sleep during the day going on 9 yrs and have never been able to get comfortable trying to sleep during the day. I averaged 4 maybe 5hrs of broken sleep, felt exhausted all the time. Doctor started me on Ambien it worked but I would wake up and still feel the effects, So Doctor changed me to 30mg Restoril. What a God send! It only takes about 20-30min to work for me, I sleep for 6-8 hrs and wake up feeling refreshed and without any "hungover" feeling. If you're having troubles sleeping it's worth a shot. I never thought I would be able to sleep normal again, been sleeping good for 2yrs now.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I've been taking Restoril a little over a year now. At first they work wonders but when your body gets used to it it does not work anymore. Next time I see my Dr I'm going to ask for something else.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I have taken 30mg for several years now. Worked well at first. Slept well with only slight sleepy "hangover". As time went by less and less effective. Before bed I curently take 30mg Restoril, an antidepressant that is supposed to make me tired (Lamictal), 0.5mg clonazepam or 5mg Valium, and 2 Benadryl and I still lay in bed awake for 2 or 4 hours before falling asleep. Sometimes I have to call in sick to work because it is 4 am and I haven't fallen asleep yet and know I can't get up in 2 hours and function for work. Restoril is great for about a year but I would plan on switching to something else after that!

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I take this about three times a week to help me sleep. I have had insomnia for two years. Even though I work 12-14 hours a day and jog 5 miles 4 times a week, I still could not sleep. Started taking this and it did not do much at first. But now it really works! I can sleep about 7 hours and only wake once or twice and can go back to sleep pretty quickly usually. I wish I could take it every night but doing this lessens its effect on me. I save it for 3 nights a week and struggle through the others. Side effects are constipation, I never 'go' the next day. Also, pretty bad rebound insomnia, I do not sleep well the night after I have taken it.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I took Restoril for about 5 years. It really helped me fall asleep and stay asleep. When I woke in the morning I wouldn't have any hangover effects, I would feel refreshed. It also didn't cause me to sleep so heavily that I couldn't wake if necessary. Unfortunately after about 5 years it stopped working. I was taking 30mg a night (sometimes a little more if I needed to go to bed earlier than usual). I wish it still worked, it was a great medicine while it lasted.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: Slept really good. Didn't wake up once. Usually get up about four times to go to the bathroom and get comfortable. First time to use last night. Had a hangover and had to sleep more. Will try again tonight. Usually takes me two hours to go to sleep but not last night...thank goodness.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: Best I've had for insomnia.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: Sometimes I do not fall asleep for hours. Usually out in about an hour. I never sleep for more than 4-5 hours. I admit I do sleep a bit longer when I take it but not by much. I have been using Restoril for over a year.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I started taking Restoril last night. I slept a full 8 hrs. I woke up feeling refreshed. Aside from the fact that I made a few phone calls in my sleep, I loved it. And it works quickly. I fell asleep in like 20 minutes, great+. Hope this helps.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I have used this medicine for 7 years and it works great. I was using 30 mg but now I am using 15 mg. I sleep well but I heard I talk in my sleep alot. I haved stopped sugar and caffine and all sweets 4 hours prior to bed. I feel it helps alot better that way. Relaxing shower before bed as well.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I just started taking this medication 30mgs at bed time and it works great, but I also take 2mgs of Xanax in the morning and 2mgs at night so it really works well.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: Been insomniac for more than 26 yrs. Never nap. Sleep very light 4-5 hrs sleep after midnight 4 long time. Finally went to doctor. We started at 15 mg, did nothing then 30mg with nothing...then 60mg which worked about 3 hrs after taking but woke straight up at 2 a.m. so I take another 30mg and back to sleep rather quickly. Wake up around 6:20 am and am ready to go.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I was prescribed this medication yesterday after struggling to sleep when my Ambien became ineffective. When I took it, I waited 1.5 hours to feel sleepy and I didn't. I then took a 2nd pill (30mg total). After 3 hours time it still hadn't worked for me. I was in bed, ready to sleep, no real distractions. I finally had to take Ambien on top of it and then I felt a bit tired and struggled all night. Not sure if this is a medication that takes time to work, but it didn't touch me at all.

Restoril (temazepam): I have had occasional problems falling asleeep, mostly due to some severe personal problems too lengthy to go into here, but the upshot was my b/p was 195 over 95! Unable to eat or sleep. I was given 2 mg. klonopin and it seemed like a miracle!!! I bacame relaxed during the day time, and started sleeping all night long! I love it! After about 6 months or so. I had to increase the doseage by a half a pill. Many times if I do a lot of physical work in a day, I don't even need one. Love em!

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I have been taking Restoril for 2 weeks now with no help. I stay up all night and when I do finally fall asleep I get up about every hour. I don't have any side effects from it. I have also tried Ambien, I think it was better but it lost its effect quickly.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I was taking 30mg of temazepam. It's the only medication that has actually worked for my insomnia. But I can't have it for more than 2 weeks because I'm under 18.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I've been taking Restoril for over a year. At first I could sleep all night but now I am waking up after 4 to 6 hours, sometimes I can fall back to sleep but usually not. I take it 30 to 60 minutes before I want to sleep and sometimes am still awake 2 hours later. Even though now I am averaging 4 to 6 hours of sleep it is so much better than 2 to 2.5, which was all I was getting before.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: Restoril helps me get to sleep and helps prevent me from waking up constantly during the night. I have had no side-effects from Restoril.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I have been taking Restoril for about a year and I'm taking 2 30mg at night, and it did work for the first 5 years, but after trying everything else I can't complain. I have a very hard time staying asleep so for me I don't mind the "hangover" feeling when I wake up because sometimes that allows me to go back to sleep. So in short - nice medication.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I have not used Restoril very long, but for the time that I have used it, I love it. I finally fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up refreshed.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: With it, calm and restoring nights, without middle of the night or too early awakenings.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: 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.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: 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) for Insomnia: 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.

Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I am able to fall asleep and stay asleep and feel refreshed when I wake up now.
