Hey guys; I'm new to posting on forums in general and I figured I would go ahead and register to Bluelight that way I can respond to some of these forums that I so often find myself reading and taking information from. I have just currently ingested 60mgs of Temazepam. My real question is; (and also my input)..what is that fine line between sedated and satisfied versus blacked out. Temazepam is the one benzodiazepine that I am relatively unfamiliar with. My tolerance lies with speeds and opiates. Temazepam is the first benzo that i have not been able to draw that fine line with and have found myself blacking out. So in short, 60mgs ingested (of course as with all benzo's BA is nearly 100%). Anyone else out there taking temazepam recreationaly and finding themselves having the same problem drawing that line between sedation/euphoria and blacked out? That being asked I do know temazepam has a euphoria rate of about 1.5% in studies. Questions, answers, please :) thanks!
 
I've made this into your own thread for you based on your post from this outdated thread.

Good luck :)
 
Temazepam is considered to be the most euphoric benzo in clinical trials. I think 60mg is about the top of the dosage range for a non-tolerant user (or do you have a tolerance to benzos?) and it certainly can cause blacking out. My experiences with temazepam stop at 30mg and that was a great dose. I take 0.5mg clonazepam/day so minor tolerance.
 
Thank you for your reply. I do personally enjoy clonazepam above ALL benzo's. It has always given me the most euphoric state of any. I have used nearly every benzo there is, yet my tolerance as you asked is not 'high' but it is neither 'low' i would say it is moderate. I took 30mgs to start, felt a bit wavy but not what i was desiring; therefor ingested another 30mgs. Personally I have read that Temazepam is one of the lowest 'euphoria inducing' benzo's on the market. BUT; that being said everyone is different and our bodies all react in their own way. There have also been reports of Temazepam causing significant euphoria is some cases, so to each his/her own. In short, my tolerance to benzo's is low-moderate. I am a speed/opiate user. Physically highly dependent on opiates. Thank you for your response, and also i'd like to add that I am NOT dependent on benzo's. Yet my tolerance is still mild-moderate.

: Question, did that 30mg experience give you a mild/moderate/significant euphoria experience or?

Its only prescribed in 7.5, 15, and 30mg pills, sparingly as its probably the most recreational benzo. You're taking twice the maximum dosage of a hypnotic benzo and don't expect to black out?
 
i find temazepam the most euphoric benzo, and i have been RXed benzos for 8 yrs. from Xanax, klonopin, valium, ativan, and last but not least temazepam. i usually have a tolerance where 4-6mgs of xanax gets me good, i found that if i take 4-5 Temazepam capsules (30mgs) 120-150mg, that it is very similiar to the strength of 4-6mg of xanax, but a way smoother, goofier buzz, my shrink gave me it for sleep, whats funny is he wouldnt give me klonopin or xanax for anxiety stating that its very addictive (like alcohol in a pill) as he said, yet he gives me Dexedrine and Temazepam (a benzo) shows how smart these docs really are. Restoril/Temazepam is very euphoric i like it better than any other benzo
 
Well first let me say, thank you both sincerely for your post's. Today is my second time ever in my life ingesting Temazepam. I will say that today (unlike yesterday) I had a full tank in terms of me not being sleep deprived and mentally/physically impaired on various other substances. Today was a bit different than yesterday in regards to the 'euphoria' of the Temazepam. It did give me a more 'smooth' yet 'wavy' 'high' so to speak than it did yesterday. I am prescribed 16mgs of Suboxone (buprenorphine) also. There is a risk of respiratory depression for both of these drugs; that being said I am very highly tolerant to ALL opiates/opioids. The mental/physical state I achieved today as a result of 60mgs Temazepam ingested orally, and 16mgs Suboxone (buprenorphine) taken sublingually was far more desirable than my experience yesterday. My honest opinion is that I was a fool to take 60mgs of Temazepam yesterday on top of the 48ish hours of sleep deprivation; aswell as about 24mgs Suboxone; (and some dextroamphetamine lingering in my system.) I still have one remaining question. Please guys explain to me the type of 'euphoria' you are all experiencing with the Temazepam. I do my research prior to taking any drug I am not already familiar with. I have a very mild yet existent tolerant to benzodiazepines. Temazepam (although the mgs are higher) is one of the weaker of the benzodiazepines and it is usually therefor prescribed in a significantly higher dosing. All in all, my shortened question is that; 1.5 percent of patients in a clinical study who were given Temazepam experienced euphoria. Today a had a very slight wavy/floating light euphoria. Other than that it was null. Please elaborate to me as to how you're all claiming a euphoria (high) on Temazepam. Either our bodies are reacting differently to the drug; which is very possible. Or I am simply mistaking the level/state of euphoria that everyone is claiming. Please elaborate; thank you guys so far for your responses. :)

I do not rank temazepam as particularly euphoric or powerful. In being a hypnotic it's more subjectively "strong" for me than most of the anxiolytics, but it's not a heavyweight hypnotic for me, in terms of strength or personal preference. That said, I have blacked out on it once completely - I ate my whole bottle, 600mg (30x20mg) in one night. Only blacked out for two days, I think. Even managed to be at work during those days, apparently, and didn't get fired, miraculously.

I have also experienced not being able to control the fine line between a nice buzz and serious memory gaps with just about all benzos - the high is so subtle that "one more won't hurt" applies to almost every benzo. Major blackouts without even the slighest flashes of memory in between long periods of time have also occurred with nitrazepam, alprazolam, and flunitrazepam for me.
 
Op, euphoria is not thought a side effect that one 'aught' to report, or, a 'side effect' at all, by many. In your study I'd bet that more felt euphoria than was reported. Furthermore people with legitimate sleep disorders are less likely to feel euphoria from hypnotic drugs than those without. And also temazepam is a very powerful sleeping agent which probably knocked several people out before they could discern any drug effect, at least early on.

You're on a dose of suboxone of which half would send ten children too the grave. And you're still trying to get high?

Opiates and benzos can both produce a high but that's like comparing a remote-controlled toy car to a 2013 mustang gt - both are fun, playing with one can be extremely immediately physically dangerous while if you crash the other (od) you usually just end up embarrassed and paying money. But clearly there is a winner though in terms of subjective effects. You'll never find anything quite as good as heroin. That's good.

Thank you for your reply. I'll say off the bat that you were the first person to point out that my 16mg a day was a fairly high dose. My answer to you is personally yes I do still catch a buzz once in a while. There is a difference in how i operate now and how I used to operate; if you can grasp that. Also you made a very good point about how many people actually reported their euphoria and how many on top of that number also didn't experience it because they have a sleeping disorder. Two very good solid points thank you for your post. I have been taking Temazepam recreationaly for three days now this being the third. Today I am going to go straight to 60mg versus 30mg and then a second 30mg when I start feeling the mild kick. I will say though this thread has been very helpful in opening my eyes (and my mind) while taking and experimenting with this new benzodiazepine. :)

[merge]

Well to sum up my experience with Temazepam; (with all of your generous input's taken into consideration) I have a very different outlook on Temazepam now. For all of you that remarked or gave opinions contradictory to me saying that only 1.5 percent of people in clinical studies reported 'euphoria' ; I would like to let you know that I have come to agree with you guys in that respect. Today I woke up around dusk :P. I decided to take 60mgs off the get go today. Temazepam for me takes about 2 hours to peak :). I also took about 8mgs of Buprenorphine but that does little to nothing aside from keeping my opiate withdrawals at bay. I arrived home about 2 hours ago give or take. I took another 60mgs of Temazepam (2 30mg capsules; total of 120mgs Temazepam.) Today I have felt a significant difference in the buzz. Thank you all very much for your input guys. This is one awesome site and I really look forward to sharing experiences and knowledge with all of you. Not to mention (obviously as this post shows clearly;) learn a few things. Thank you guys so much. I'm not sure when to close a thread. As of right now although I achieved my answers and am no longer as curious; I would like to leave this thread open for others who might have similar inputs and questions. =D Cheers! Thank you guys all so much!

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH TEMAZEPAM. It's (in my experience) the most addictive benzo there is due to its euphoric properties. I went down a long four year road of addiction to the stuff, taking up to 1,500mg daily. Vicious cycle. Please, please be careful.

Sincerely, thank you for your concern and yes I have also read that you can become dependent on Temazepam very very quickly. Fortunately this is my third and final day with it. I am officially out of it and I have no intentions of acquiring it anytime in the near future. Thank you though, you are correct it is a very addictive Benzodiazepine.

Hey I'm just checking back through this thread and re-reading over some things and out of all the responses/experiences given; yours was the one I found myself relating to the most. I'd like to keep this thread going as the discovery of this drug is relatively new to me yet I've found it very enjoyable. I would really love to get even more feedback from other individuals out there who have experimented short or long term with Restoril/Temazepam. Thanks again everyone. Made me really enjoy this site even more than I already had before becoming a member, when I was able to see how truly quick and accurate the responses and information contained in them is/was. :)

Hi Pillseeker, i think when it comes to benzo preference and you ask people about this then you will likely hear about several types of benzo's most liked, but the truth is that even while being a weak benzo temazepam seems to be the one with the highest possible amount of euphoria attached.

That being said though some people will agree with temazepam being best and other people will mention other benzo's who work best for them, but who knows if you ask hundred people what benzo felt best when they get five types of benzo in equal amounts then it is posible that temazepam delivers the highest chance for euphoria only this may be so it doesn't mean that you always get an euporic effect more so not when more substances are used.

Before i really started to indulge in benzo's i would get temazepam from my croacker plus oxazepam, but with oxazepam i find it harder to feel it properly without losing memory and therefore i always used to like temazepam, because this benzo would not ease my memory when i would take 100-140 mg then i would get them in the form of those gel caps who work much faster then pills so temazepam's fast onset of action is also highly liked.

When i used the temazepam i had no addiction issues yet so therefore i am able to give advice about temazepam when by coincidence this benzo was used by itself, but i liked it that uch together with a friend so we both got a 150 pill script from the croacker and being so unpatient we already dropped pills in full sight of the pharmacy, but always we would consume the temazepam up first then when this benzo was gone oxazepam came next.

Oxazepam is about as good to erase memory compared to flunitrazepam better known as rohypnol, but this is weird, i mean oxazepam is only a tiny bit stronger then librium and with librium you can take a thousand mg's without ever getting a buzz with oxazepam this is different, but i still dont know behind all these years what oxazepam dose to take best, because all the other substances i take complicate feeling oxazepam so the other meds are lyrica and seroquel, except for the lyrica unneeded so the seroquel goes.
Reagrding oxazepam i dont really feel it, except if i dont take my used to amount then i feel lousy, but the last time when i properly felt oxazepam effects was before drugs and benzo were abused so having no tolerance i got 2 ten mg oxazepam pills from a friend and they really felt good.
Damn it already a sized reply i never seem to learn to stay short so excuse me and thanks a lot to those people who do like to read what i write. Hmm its not that bad the size compared to other replies.

Hey Freek12, thanks for your response and as I said I really look forward to keeping this thread going and you were one of the first to assist in that process so thank you for that. Also I found your answer to be a bit scattered and almost a bit 'off-topic' so to speak at times. Please don't take offense to that you had a very helpful response. I can agree with many comments you made regarding the Temazepam. For example; you stated that among the the forums (not solely bluelight you will find various 'euphoria' comments and experiences. But I have to run and close by saying thank you sincerely for your response and let you know it was a nice read. I usually prefer the longer comments; Whether it be an experience or a medical opinion :D Thanks again guys! Let's keep this thread rolling please. Temazepam is quickly becoming a top ranking pharmaceutical in my book! :) Bye guys, take care, stay informed; and above all else BE SAFE!
 
I don't recommend this as I take 20mg of alprazolam (Xanax) at a time, but I just took 375mg of temazepam (first time taking it outside an inpatient facility), and while I'm waiting on the last 135 to kick in with 3600mg of gabapentin...I'm feeling decent.

Well all-in-all in the past, roughly, 8 hours; I have ingested 240mgs of Temazepam (30mg capsules/Mylan 5050); & I have also taken 32mg's of Suboxone. I have a mild floating type of buzz. Part of me being comprehensive and still nearly totally competent, is a result of staying mentally and socially and even somewhat physically active. I have also had an insane tolerance to Buprenorphine (and all opiates) for a long time. I ingested the Temazepam in increments of 60mg; with a starter dose of 120mgs. One of two possible occurrences is responsible for the lack of buzz I should damn well have. Either the excessive Buprenorphine dose has mentally outweighed my Temazepam dose in terms of the euphoria produced by both drugs; Or I have developed a tolerance to Temazepam VERY quickly. Can I get some input and opinion please on the ability/rate/general info of Temazepam tolerance and how 'quickly' or how 'slowly' it will develop. As always thank you guys for your continuing input and appreciated information and experiences. <3
 
Bluntly as Ho-Chi put it, he's right. Do you have an idea of how devastating (and probably deadly) those W/D are going to be if you have a dip in your supply? And it can only go higher from here unless you do something about it man.

Think of tapering off the benzos, man. It might take a good while, but you will be better off.

What do you think?
