Benzo withdrawal

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.

Does she use it every night?

You really don’t want to go to detox when discontinuing a benzodiazepine. The detox center will basically cold turkey and send you home. It’s imperative you taper off a benzodiazepine slowly. Please do some research on this before committing to detox. Google the Ashton Manual. Read the whole thing.

Does she use it every night?

Sorry if I’m repeating myself, but does your wife take temazapam every night?
