Accepted Answer

Question 2

is the drug temazepam ever used for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Temazepam (restoril) is used as a sedative-hypnotic, for people with insomnia.  I've never heard of anyone using it for anxiety alone.  It can act in 30-60 minutes, and if you took it in daytime you could be asleep rather than merely calm!  so i wouldn't suggest doing that.  There are better choices for anxiety -- especially having a good evaluation so the best choices can be made.
