I have tapered from 30 mg of temazepam to 22.5 mg and am now taking 15 mg. As a chronic insomniac for many years, the journey has not been easy. I also take melatonin, lion’s mane and magnesium Glycinate. I hope to eventually be taking 7 mg of temazepam in the not so distant future.
How long has the process been taking ? What does Lion ‘s Mane do ? Do you take them altogether ? I admire you . 30 mg has not been working well for me after a year and a half but I will take the 4 to 5 hours that I get . I have extreme anxiety and insomnia . Just trying to figure this all out .
Hi How are you doing with your sleep . Have you had any memory issues ? I have a lot of anxiety due to my husband’s cancer and I can’t sleep . I feel so bad for you . I get anxious just reading this . How are you doing ? Is anything working ? Your doc prescribed for that long ? Sleep well. I have been on it for almost two years , starting not to work well. I take trazodone too.
I'm 72 so I dont know if my memory issues come from the drug or getting older. People say I have an excellent memory. I'm sure the drug has an effect in some way. We cant put these chemicals in our bodies and not have some side effect. I really dont like that alot of doctors use these drugs as their go to.
I have been on it for about 15 years. 30 mg every night. My doctor retired and the new one is trying to taper down because I am old and can fall etc. I can not sleep without the higher dose. It works very well. It is not expensive anymore. Around 6 dollars for 60 15 mg, not sure what insurance now. Can find out if you like. Not the insurance that I pay for and get all other meds from. Also Good RX has a relatively good price if you search. I'm not sure how I can get my new doctor to keep me on it. I am 83 years old and very active. Had a very good life on this medication.
Temazepam and other benzodiazepines can cause a lot of health problems that you would not suspect are related. If you have other unexplained health problems, they could be caused by these drugs.

This doesn’t mention dry eyes which can lead to blurred vision. They can affect thyroid. Reduced gut motility can lead to IBS and small intestingal bacterial overgrowth.

Be wary of drugs recommended by others, particularly if they’re benzodiazapines. What works for one person may not work for you.

Although I continue to reduce the dosage, I have been on temazepam for a number of years.
