My wife, takes temazepam, and I'm tracking, for her, how many mg's are in her system at any given hour, and when, for her, the mg in her system are around 25 to 35 mg's, she gets NAU, and sometimes gets DRY HEAVES. The nauseous feeling, that's being generated in her brain, is the withdrawal from the TEM, and it has made her loose her appetite, who can eat if you feel nauseous. This issue began when she "discovered" the temazepam worked, to put her to sleep, much better on an empty stomach... that's when the nausea began, about 15-17 hours after taking the TEM. She knows that the nausea is being caused from the TEM, BECAUSE when she took the TEM, WHICH WAS DURING THE DAY, THE NAUSEA WENT AWAY, INSTANTLY. Sadly, for her, this behavior caused her to use more TEM than was perscribed and she would run out several days before the prescription would be refilled. The crazy thing is that when she took the TEM after eating, the nausea wasn't near as intense, but still annoying... so she began eating small meals, which helped lessen the intensity of the nausea. But, then depression hits her, all hope of getting better goes away, and we end up starting over, again and again. I hope this helps. Oh, and her dr, the psychiatrist, doesn't believe her either regarding NAU as a withdrawal side effect from TEM.
