Restoril (temazepam) for Insomnia: I could easily fall asleep within 10-15 minutes after taking my Restoril.

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 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: 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: 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) 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 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 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: 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 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): 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 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: 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 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.
