Inexperienced Benzo user 60mg deep on Temazepam...

[FLA321son]

It's been a half hour and I've only got a small buzz, should I wait a little longer or drop another 30mg? Btw Im 125lbs

Careful that's one of the strongest benzo's from what I hear. Just giving my input

 

[FLA321son]

Well, I can't confirm its full potential because strangely i dont feel like Ive reached it. It's not 1:44am and I feel effects kicking in much stronger. Not to mention Im now a total of 120mg, no benzo experience, and a scrawny guy. Lets see where this trip takes me! gotta say Im encouraged that Im getting the effects so much later considering that it should be like another hour before im at peak

Hey OP check out the Trip Report Forum Guidelines. This forum is for posting your completed and fully edited trip reports to chronicle drug experiences.

As this is just a random question about safe benzo dosages I'm going to swing it over to Basic Drug Discussion for you where you can get some proper advice.

You only gave it thirty minutes before you re-dosed? The half-hour mark is when temazepam's effects only just begin to be realized. That's why, in the leaflet distributed with the prescription, it reads "Take this medication a half hour before bedtime." With no benzo tolerance, you're going to feel like a mess come morning - an ooze-like, amotivated blob of consciousness struggling to claw its way out of the muck. My advice is to be more prudent with your dosing, and even moreso given the laundry list of reasons why you might experience heavy after effects, such as being "scrawny" and having "no benzo tolerance" at all.

I've been scripted temazepam for a long, long time now for chronic insomnia. I find it recreational only at 30mg, 45mg or (*verrry occasionally*) 60mg. Anything higher, despite my concurrent scripts for diazepam and alprazolam XR (and thus a pretty decent tolerance to benzodiazepines) consistently induces a dysphoria I can only compare to zolpidem tartrate or one of its related Z-drug cohorts. Seriously, give it a try at 45mg next time and just wait, and see if you don't enjoy its effects more. With some drugs, less is truly more, and I believe temazepam follows this rule to the letter.

Let us know how your 120mg experience worked out for you. I'd be curious.
And IMO it is one of the stronger benzodiazepines (not by weight, obviously, but in terms of the profundity of effect). It can be very euphoric and opiatesque if the right dose is consumed!

Good luck,

If this is your first time, you probably were so fucked up that you didn't realize how fucked up you were. I bet you woke up the next morning not remembering anything beyond taking the pills.

 

[Project Will]

It is strange with benzos how you will sometimes take them and don't feel very fucked up, but realize the next morning how little you remember and how fucked up you actually were.

 

[NeighborhoodThreat]

Either way the experience is over.

kokaino is right, benzos are (in)famous for causing you to be intoxicated/fucked up and not realize it.

I'm going to close it this.
