Insomnia: Trying to wean of temazepam (restoril)

i also had insomnia for 20 years, restoril stopped working well for me and i even take it with a 1 mg xanax ... i now take a new med Dayvigo no xanax needed.
It is the best i have ever used it knocks me out in about 15 mins and keeps asleep no sleep walking, eating etc... for reference in the past thru the years i have been on ambien CR, lunesta, elavil, trazadone --NONE of them worked like this. Theres no buzz or euphoria, just good sleep, by the way if you insurance its $200 no generics yet... but i did download a coupon for $50 off so it was $155..... ive had to many sleepless nights its worth the money.

I'm currently paying a nurse practitioner $175/visit (tele-video) in order to get 1 mg of alprazolam. I'll talk to the psychiatrist at the VA next week or my PCP who I see through Medicare, and see what they have to say about it. I did some online research and it looks like a wonder-drug for me. Thanks

I was on temazepam for 2 years, then was diagnosed with have a high grade Bladder Cancer. I did research on all my medications and came across a study that listed 10 sleeping pills which showed a connection with Bladder Cancer. Temazepam was #2. The study said that if you take more 34 pills a year, your odd of getting cancer increases by +30%. I'm not a mathematician but taking it every night for two years must have ramped up my chances by a considerable amount. My father was also taking temazepam every night and I warned him about that connection. He called me paranoid and kept taking it. About a year later, he also was diagnosed with the exact same Bladder Cancer that I got.
