When my wife asked for a different sleeping pill, her dr advised her that temazepam is all he recommends... she's been on it for years... and she keeps trying to lower the dose... but each month, she runs out a day or two before the Rx can be refilled. Sadly she knows she's got a huge problem, but is not ready to commit herself to a full detox, at a facility offering in-house care or as an out-patient. It's very frustrating.
