Would taking 100mg of tamazapam be to much? I get 50mg caps. I take two a week max. I don't abuse it as I have a history of abuse and I don't want to get tollerant or give my self a problem. I have to say taking it twice a week helps me sleep a bit better and I enjoy the way I feel before I go to bed on it. Im content. But I wonder if I would get even better sleep if I double up. Would this just up my tollerance and screw me in the long run? I just wish once a week I could sleep in real late. I don't work much I just got my job back, im just getting my life back together and I want to be carefull ... I just miss the old days of sleeping in till 12. God that would be nice. Just once a week. Thoughts? Not looking for a high just looking for a solid nights sleep. Is this like a hypnotice? Where its fake sleep? I know its not a hypnotic but I wonder if its the same fake sleep?

I presume you mean Temazepam :P

If you're not using it regularly, it should be OK if you wanna treat yourself occasionally. Though as you said, if you start doing it too often, tolerance is gonna build up, and you're gonna have to take 100mg to be getting where 50mg used to take you.

I'm not sure about what the perfect dose for sleep would be for you individually, though after a certain point it's just gonna make you forgetful, tired, and the various other side effects, without increasing the positives too much.
 
Taking 100mg of Temazepam should be just fine.

My concern lies instead with your reasons of wanting to increase your dosage. If you've got a history of abuse, and are now clean/recovering I don't think it's the best idea in the world.

The last thing you need right now is to discover just how much you really like the feeling a higher dosage will give you. Then you start taking three times a week, then five times a week, then every night. See what I mean? Recovery is a slippery slope, and if you start increasing the frequency and the amount you dose it's going to become a problem.

Temazepam is considered to be one of more hypnotic benzodiazepines, so yes it is a hypnotic.

I find the sedative/hypnotic effect wears off pretty shortly, I like to call it 'ambien-lite.'
 
Err, at least in the USA the strongest capsules of Temazepam are 30mg. Who told you that what you have are 50mg ? Are you in the USA ?
