A member asked:
Was prescribed tempazepam 15mg but my dad sleeps the same with and without it however doc still wants him to take it. is it safe to continue?

Stop it.: Temazepam is a tranquilizer used for sleep and for anxiety. It can cause confusion in some older adults. If he is having no benefit from taking the medicine, then it would be good to stop it. If he has been on the medicine for a while, then it should be tapered off very slowly over many days and under his physician's supervision. Good luck.
