Benzos Need help: Temazepam withdrawls??Esp after other drugs

[Lucy23121981]

Hi guys Id appreciate any advice here as Im starting to get a bit worried.

Ive been really stressed out at uni the past few weeks and wasnt sleeping well because of it, so I went to the doctors about two weeks ago and he gave me a script of temazepam. This is the third time ive had a script for it, but Ive left it a few months in between doses. This time I admit I was taking about two a night, and on the odd morning here and there I wld wake up and think "meh dont need to get up just yet" so Id pop another one.(Could I have built up a tolerance to temazepam? Please read on as I explain why I think this)

So friday night I had the night off work, rare occasion and I wanted to party..I really shouldnt have because I had to get an assignment done for yesterday but I had already asked for the night off for a friends party...I ended up taking two pills and a tripstacy pill..Ive never had great comedowns from tripstacy but i was drunk and thought why not...Then at about 4am smoked some ice at a mates place. I basically never, or rarely smoke ice, it was offered, i was already high and drunk so figured why not...again not the smartest idea when i had to do an assignment for yesterday.

I got home about 10:30am sat morn and took my remaining last temazepam(one is all i had left)and drank a strong beer and slept for about two or three hours. Then had to work a seven hour bar shift....This is where I start to worry now...So for the whole shift i was pretty tired and scattered, but no more scattered than i normally wld be after having pills though and in the past i cld usually come home and sleep without be so overwired that no matter how much i needed to sleep i cldnt. Then when it came time to sleep I was so over tired/mentally tired that I cldnt actually sleep.The previous two weeks I had relied on temazepam, now when i needed to sleep the most i didnt have any left.

Its now tuesday and i still havent been able to sleep, i need it, im mentally drained, trying to do an assignment has been horrible, I feel wired, like u do on acid when your brain wont sleep..Never had this before.
Can someone please tell me:
Is this because the ending off my temazepam coincided with me having my first drug bender in months?
or because my ending of temazepam coincided with me having my first drug bender WHILE I already had uni stress??
could it be all three combined?? I feel fuzzy headed, really spaced out, and so over stimulated like on acid except no visuals obviously.
Its fucked, ive had to try to work and do my assignment on no sleep...If I had still had temazepam left would that have stopped, what has been a horrible comedown/lack of sleep...usually a comedown wont last long coz i will sleep it off but this i mentally cant shut down.
I never smoke ice, i think i have four or five times before and not much...so cld it be the combination of everything.
I just feel so sleep deprived and zombie like that its making me start to panic...Can anyone relate? Has anyone had to deal with a comedown straight after theyve finished their last sleeping tablets?
Sorry for making u read my rant im just worried.

I need to also add that I rarely take substances these days..one every few months. Im just thinking that if my body has been relying on temazepam to make it sleep and suddenly not only is it without it but also trying to process stimulants being in inside it WHILST the brain is already stressing about uni...i have trouble sleeping at the best of times, hence i got a script for temazepam but now that im out is my body suddenly in a state of schock??? Is my body saying to me "Whaaat?? you cant put all these dryugs into me and not give me some temazepam to help wind down..no screw you, im giving u insomnia instead hows that?"

Tripstacy? Uhm what is that?

Taking temazepam like that will lead to dependency, it's written on the label, and you will not be able to sleep once you discontinue usage as you just now have done. I had that same experience once when I gave up a sleeping pill habit, and so have most people when they did the same thing. Your drug taking coincidence was not terribly connected to this phenomena from what I can tell.

Temazepam is meant to be taken occassionally and only for acute insomnia; it is not prescribed to be taken more then 7 days in a row, and even at that most people would give up a night of sleep when quitting a run of it. It's a nice feeling drug that certainly is very handy, but you're seeing the dark side of it and nothing more.
