Yeah I believe we are in agreement. I'm prescribed xanax, halcion, and temazepam funny you should mention all three. I don't know why my body doesn't recognize clonazepam, it's really unfortunate because on paper it appears to be a great alternative for anxiety, what with it being "equipotent" to xanax, with a much longer duration and half life, etc.
Lucky you get temazepam, my favorite benzo and triazolam which makes my top 5! My doctor doesn't believe in scripting two benzos at once. He only has given my temazepam twice in all the years I've seen him - once when I had severe bouts of insomnia after a suicide attempt and another when I just couldn't sleep. He first tried Ambien and I told him it didn't work then he gave me temazepam. Usually I just get Seroquel 50 mg if I can't sleep, but that isn't as common as it used to be now. Plus I'm scripted Dexedrine 10 mg IR tabs (20 mg 3x/day), escitalopram (Lexapro) 30 mg 1x/day, Abilify 10 mg 1x/day, and I'm on MMT (130 mg of methadone 1x/day).
Plus my doctor is pretty liberal about scripting things, he isn't afraid. There's this patient that goes to his office and she suffers from very, very severe insomnia. They've done sleep study after sleep study on her and she can't sleep. She used to be on 60 mg of temazepam at bedtime. He switched her to Seconals (but she gets 7 dispensed a week, she doesn't get the whole 30 capsule script at once). She's sold me a few here and there before or she'll trade 1 for 3 of my Xanax.
