Good info on Temazepam thanks.

Since some of you think its real sedating I'm going to start with 15mg and head out for a arctic bike ride with a friend. Will report back later.

*face in palms of my hands*.

Don't do that.
I've tried to warn you, I've given you the scientific sources and this is my last post on this thread.
Taking 15mg and then going on a bike ride is insane.
End of story.
 
i hate benzo equivalence charts. i think most people who have experience with a wide range of benzos would agree that the charts are inaccurate. for example, had the op referenced the chart that tricomb cited, 40-80mg of temazepam would be equal to his usual 1-2mg of clonazepam. THAT is insane. i see no danger in someone going for a bike ride on 15mg temaz if they usually take up to 2mg of clonaz to relax.

benzos have such different subjective effects from person to person, and from benzo to benzo, to just throw "scientific data" at someone.
 
God damn this thread has me fucking craving temazepamidk what it is about temaz, it gives me a unique euphoria that is subtle but extremely seductive. I just want more and more and more, I've never had this problem with other benzos like kpin or xanax, with those I take one and I'm happy, but with temazepam, there is a rush of euphoria and serenity, idk how to describe it ...temaz is like any other benzo, so much I don't really put it in the same class.

Be careful with this shit because before you know it, your whole stash will be gone and you will still want more. God damb temazepam, I fucking hate you and love you to death at the same time
 
Just got back from my ride, wasn't too bad but definitely quite sedating and a bit of euphoria. Next time I will try 30 mg.

Oh come on. I know this is a harm reduction website and everything, but basically saying "15mg temazepam and riding a bicycle is INSANE - end of story, no matter what your tolerance" is hyperbole.

It is a sedative/hypnotic benzodiazepine but 30mg, especially with Dexedrine, for someone who can handle 1-2mg clonazepam, is not the kind of dose that makes riding your bike "insane". 15mg is especially not insane. 15mg is the kind of dose that you may not even notice unless you go lie down (for some people). Keep in mind that while some people seem to describe temazepam as a euphoric, hard-hitting super-powerful anomaly among benzos, for many others it is nothing but a moderately strong intermediate-acting benzo. Some consider it all-out weak.

I find that Z-drugs are not suitable for daytime use, as they only possess hypnotic effects, but temazepam has a range of effects that could viably be enjoyed during the day.

I personally don't rate temazepam all that highly and while I would agree that its best therapeutic use is to treat insomnia, it's just fine for daytime use. With little to no tolerance I used to dose around 60-120mg for recreational purposes, which would get me quite relaxed.
30mg is the kind of mosquito bite I really wouldn't be able to distinguish from placebo unless I was particularly anxious, drinking alcohol, or going to sleep.

EDIT: Note that riding a bicycle is significantly different to riding a motorcycle (if "bike" in this context meant that) or a car.

As mentioned before temazepam is approved to daytime use and is just another benzo. Driving under the influence of any benzo is of course not recommended, but most people do it all the time. IME driving under the influence of therapeutical dosed benzo is less hazardous than driving after couple of beers, which remains legal in most countries.

I agree - however, in many countries I believe it is also legal to drive on benzos (which you are legitimately prescribed and are not abusing), which I think is absolutely right. Especially as tolerance develops quicker to hypnotic/sedative than anxiolytic effects, a reasonable anxiolytic dose used in the daytime is unlikely to be that intoxicating to a tolerant individual (and if it is, they shouldn't use it during the day).

Also, while all countries I have lived in have prescribed it exclusively as a hypnotic, I've heard of temazepam being prescribed for anxiety before, and I don't see why it couldn't be. In my experience it isn't too sedative in relation to its anxiolytic effect to be ruled out from daytime use; however, it would not be my first choice as a sufficiently anxiolytic dose is a little too sedative for my liking - this is also the case with diazepam and oxazepam. I prefer clonazepam, alprazolam or lorazepam, which I do not find sedating at all at anxiolytic doses. Speaking of which, lorazepam is prescribed pretty much exclusively as an anxiolytic in Finland, and as a hypnotic in the Netherlands.
 
I'm am prescribed 20mg escitalopram, 1500mg sodium valporate, 600mg seroquel, 25mg valium, 2mg ativan and 2mg of flunitrazepam a day for management of bipolar disorder. That's a pretty high benzo dose for a person that is studying and working fulltime at the same time. But i still have sleepless nights and anxiety. What i'm trying to get across is that everyone has different tolerances to sedatives. When i take benzos recurationally i take 50mg valium with 10mg ativan and 10mg flunitrazepam. But just cause i have to dose like that to get a buzz going doesn't mean you do. Just start low and work your way up to what feels good. Don't jump in the deep end or you'll end up stumbling around, sluring your speech mumbling bullshit. If you benzo out your an easy target for people to take advantage of you and take your wallet and you wont remember shit. Or worse you end up hurting yourself or others. Be carefull.

C'mon you can't be serious.
 
100% serious. It's a good handfull of pills, but tolerance builds up crazy fast. I find i built up a crazy tolerance to sedatives after abusing benzos and being on heavy dose anti psychotics. My seroquel dose used to be 900mg a day and i'd still be climbing the walls where a single 300mg tablet leaves most people looking like a drooling vegetable. This is possibly due to my bipolar disorder i'm not sure. But deadset that is my starting dose for a good night. I usually end up hammering more benzos later in the night. I can usually remember everything aswell.
 
For the non-tolerant they surely seem like ridiculous doses but looking at what the dude is prescribed, I can easily imagine someone taking those amounts for recreational purposes. I remember (note: remember! Didn't black out) taking doses like 200mg temazepam + 4mg clonazepam + 6mg lorazepam for a good recreational buzz. Particularly as tolerance to hypnotic/sedative effects develops very quickly, the doses aren't as outlandish as they might seem.
 
I am by no way trying to dicksize about dose. I'm just trying to illustrate the dose curve amongst sedative users. So its always best to start low and assess your own tolerance and work your way up to desired effect. I also find benzos to be very hit and miss between different boxes. It's something to be carefull of. The other day i had a box of 2.5mg lorazepam, i ate 50mg to start and didn't feel shit. I ended up eating another 25mg and was only slightly buzzed. Where as other times i eat 50mg and i'm wasted. I have also found i need to switch between brands of diazepam because if i use one brand for too long they stop working. Which is strange considering they are suppost to have the same amount of active ingredients. Anyone else noticed that?

No logical explanation for this, must be in your head, something to do with placebo-effect would be my best guess.
 
I'm using it at the moment for shitty sleep, but it's not helping my RLS at all, which is what keeps me from sleeping anyway.

It's not really doing the job I want, went with 20mg tonight, I have a low to medium tolerance to light benzos (Diaz, temaz).

Maybe another 20mg will do it. But shit it's looking like I'll only get about 5 hours rest now, been trying to get to sleep for 4 hours.
 
LOL Temazepam good for day time use GTFO. Brand Name for Temazepam is Restoril KEY WORD BEING REST!!! It is the strongest Hypnotic hence great for sleep if you use it during the day time expect to pass the fuck out unless your cracked the fuck out to the max. Oh and if you do not mind me asking why the hell do you feel the need to dose a Benzodiazepine before your riding Bicycle WTF I must emphasize the WTF!?!?

Do your research before posting useless shit like that.
 
Well I do not know for a FACT it is the strongest Hypnotic but how is my post useless how rude. I have passed out face first on my desk taking Temazepam during the daytime sooo I am talking from personal experience.

Cook if you do not think Temazepam is strongest Hypnotic which one do you think is?
