I would not recommend it. Sure it will put you to sleep, that's what it is meant for. But Restoril (temazepam) has a wicked rebound, and you will end up taking it the next night, and the next....pretty soon you will not get 8 hours out of it, just 4 poor quality ones (much like Ambien). You will start having withdrawal symptoms during the day, and get very uncomfortable.

 

I actually think Ambien is a safer drug, works better, and is easier to get off of. Not that I recommend it either!

Hi thunder,

 

Are you tapered off from benzos, and considering using it (tmazepam).?  If so, please try to consider something else, and let your GABAa receptors heal.  As you know, it's potent, short acting, and has a lot of kindling potential due to the short half life.

 

I have tried it a few times in the distant past,  prior to my current tapering, and it did not help me in the sleep area.  However, for some it does work.  Ambien  did work for me.  I've stopped all of these, and am tapering from a crossover.

 

Best wishes.😀  I do understand what you are feeling.
