Temazepam Taper

[[fr...]]

Can anyone help me with an easy titration of 30 mg Temazepam capsules?  I am trying to start by splitting my dose between morning and night because I am having a terrible time from noon until 5 pm I am a total wreck.  For now I am going to do 20 mg at night and 10 mg in the morning.  Then I will start tapering starting next week.  Looking forward to the help.

The first thing I would do is to split up your dose even more and even it out.  Can you do 10mg every eight hours?  Temazepam is short acting so you may benefit quite a bit by doing this.

 

As for tapering, generally the idea is to cut small, go slow, and not allow symptoms to emerge.

I would be willing to try that I just need an easy way to split the capsule.  The recipe I have now is more labor intensive than my brain can handle right now

I'm not at all familiar with capsules.  Can they be opened?  What happens when they are put in water?

 

Using liquids is a good way to accurately divide and dose drugs.  Another way is to weigh them on a scale.  But like I said, I have never worked with capsules so I am unfamiliar.  I am also unsure what liquid to use to dissolve temazepam.

 

I'm not sure I know of anyone tapering temazepam.  Most T people cross to Valium.
