Question 4

please describe the medication: temazepam?

Accepted Answer

Sleeping pill: Temazepam (brand name restoril) is a sedating benzodiazepine tranquilizer, prescribed as a sleep aid.  Particularly useful when anxiety interferes with sleep, it is unfortunately habit-forming, and thus should not be taken repeatedly.  It also should not be taken with alcohol.  However, when used occasionally and in proper dosage, it is generally safe and effective.

Question 5

withdrawing from temazepam. what should i look for?

Accepted Answer

Temazepam withdrawal: Mainly insomnia, some agitation which wears off.

Question 6

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.

Question 7

temazepam 15 mg equals how many xanax (alprazolam)?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Xanax (alprazolam) is much more potent than temazepam.  You also have not shared the dosage of your xanax (alprazolam).  I suggest discussing with your own physician, who knows what s/he gave you.  If these have been obtained illegally, please don't use them.

Question 8

having trouble with sleep i need temazepam, do you prescribe?

Accepted Answer

Insomnia: Not good practice to start these form of drugs for sleep,they are highly addictive,,,,very commonly pt's plateau on them,needing inc dosages,,theres are better drugs/methods for sleep

Question 9

how long will temazepam stay in your system for a urine drug test?

Accepted Answer

Varies: figure 5 days minimum up to 1 week for  your urine to be clear, depending on age, weight and metabolism.

Question 10

how many mg of temazepam will equal the high of one xanax (alprazolam)?

Accepted Answer

Not comparable: Your question doesn't make sense on 2 levels.  First, we'd need to know the mg of xanax (alprazolam) we're comparing to temazepam.  More important, "highs" from different drugs are not comparable.  Although both are benzodiazepines, temazepam is very sedating, Alprazolam isn't.  They'll never be "equal."  and neither is safe to take to get high.
