@toren123. I'm so sorry the doctors made you stop taking Temazepam. That sucks. They should never have done that. Alot of doctors just are so against benzodiazepines that they don't care about you and your well-being. Sleep is very very important to a person's overall health. I'm lucky to be prescribed a benzo for sleep/anxiety that I take daily. My quality of life is improved greatly because of taking this medication. I hope you found something else for sleep that works for you. If not.... maybe try Ambien, or Lunesta. I wish you the best and hope you are getting good quality sleep. If not, you need to talk to your doctor.

@cindisue I agree. Sleep is extremely important for health, mood, and so many other reasons. Being in the medical field I believe that Benzodiazepines are very helpful but they are addictive drugs. I think if they are used as prescribed they should be given. There are so many people who abuse them which presents problems for those who don’t.

Thank you cindisue. Ambien had too many side effects for me and several others didn’t help. I am taking Lunesta which helps some. I also take Gabapentin which is good but also has side effects. Too bad that the needs of the patient sometimes take 2nd place to the need health care professionals feel to follow fimpractical rules.'
