Hey,
Just wondering if someone could translate the relevant sections for me? I'm trying to work out how long temazepam will affect me.
I intend to use it after a night out on the amphetamines. Not sure if it's pertinent, I'm of a solid build and seem to have a relatively larger tolerance to most drugs, illict or otherwise.
"In a single and multiple dose absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) study, using 3H labeled drug. Temazepam was well absorbed and found to have minimal (8%) first pass metabolism. There were no active metabolites formed and the only significant metabolite present in blood was the O-conjugate. The unchanged drug was 96% bound to plasma proteins. The blood level decline of the parent drug was biphasic and the short half-life ranging from 0.4-0.6 hours and the terminal half life ranging from 3.5-18.4 hours (mean 8.8 hours), depending on the study population and the method of determination. Metabolites were formed with a half-life of 10 hours and excreted with a half-life of approximately 2 hours. Thus, formation of the major metabolite is the rate limiting step in the biodisposition of temazepam. There is no accumulation of metabolites. A dose-proportional relationship has been established for the area under the plasma concentration/time curve over the 15-30 mg dose range."

I suppose I should ask is Temazepam even the best to use for my purpose?
Much obliged to anyone who can help me!
Rock on.
 
I'm guessing you want to use it to help you sleep after a night of being geeked up.
In short, yes it will work.
How many MG do you have?
 
Temazepam (better known as 'Restoril') is on the lower end of the benzo spectrum, in fact, many consider it 'worthless' as you need to take so many to get off... also, unlike Xanax or Ativan, it doesn't give as much of a "high" as it does a sleepy sedation - you don't feel as "drunk" as you do sleepy...
For a good RECREATION dose - 30mg to 60mg, maybe even more - still, YMMV, so don't take 60mg, passout, get raped by a gang of ravers, then think "well PhreeX said 60mg was how much I was supposed to take, he promised me that no matter what I would enjoy myself, my penis would grow, I would get a better job, girls would like me, and my IQ would increase by 7 points" ... USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Will it make a meth crash easisr? Yes! 30mg will sedate you enough you will be able to relax and sleep...

You also asked if temazepam was the best thing to take.no its not.if i was to use temazepam after every time i got wired i would need to eat between 10 and 15 tens,so it would be a waste of money,get some valium or clonazepam,you get more of an effect for less.
 
I'm gonna take exception to your temazepam bashing. Yes, it probably doesn't have as much "recreational" value as Xanax and others, but if you've been tweaking/tripping/whatever too long and just wanna get the fuck to sleep, they are BETTER than most other benzos.
 
Thanks for the info guys.
To clarify, I intend to use it to get to sleep, so that I can at least get some sleep for the next night.
Which means, I also need to know how long it will be affecting me because I want to go again the next night.
 
Im going to have to defend myself on this one Ochlocrat,i know shes not going for recreational value,i was going by the rationale that eating less benzos might be healthier (i would of thought that was obvious,but seemingly not in youre case)
 
If it takes you more temazepams than other benzos to get to sleep, you're a weirdo. There is a reason they are sold as hypnotics while others are sold as anticonvulsants, sedatives, or anxiolytics. No other benzo besides temazepam has even put me out, and I've done SMALLER quantities of temazepam (at least in terms of pills consumed) than other benzos.
Doctors and pharmacologists seem to think temazepam is the best benzodiazapine for sleeping. It's also notable for lack of hangover/lingering drug effect. Make sure you give yourself eight hours for sleep, though (or possibly more if you've been up way too long/took a lot of temazepam.)
 
yeah right,im a weirdo becoz i need a lot of temazipam to get to sleep????I think youll find that thats the same for most people.Obviously youre the fukin weirdo if no other benzo beside temazipam has put you out.
And as for youre opinion that doctors think temazipam is the best benzo for sleeping,thats only half right.Doctors will start off prescribing temazipam to people coming in with mild cases of insomnia,becoz thats the weakest out of all the benzos,and if that fails they prescibe diazepam,with some caution due to its addictive nature.
 
"There is a reason they are sold as hypnotics while others are sold as anticonvulsants, sedatives, or anxiolytics."
Yeah, it is called a marketing strategy. The difference between each benzo is merely the half life and the mg potency. Obviously, 1mg of Halcion qid for anxiety isn't a great idea... but if you read any pharmacology book on benzos they tell you that any benzo can be used to treat anxiety, insomnia, or convulsions.
