Temezapam not for sleep?

Why the fuck are you prescribed three benzodiazepines? That's just stupid. There's no reason, just increase the dose of one or the other.

I agree, I think two benzos should be the max, and that includes Z-drugs. I also think it's best to stick with one benzo if you're combining benzodiazepines with antipsychotics (I needed the combination in order to sleep after I took seroquel).
 
I am prescribed two benzos (Valium and Klonopin) and zolpidem. I have no idea why. The doctor I go to is old and I think he's kind of senile or something. I told him my incision area from my surgery 3 weeks ago aches occasionally and he gave me 90 10mg percocets to take 4 times daily. I think he actually should have just gave me 30 5mg percs, but who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?

Anyway, on topic, I have tried Temazepam at 30mg. At bedtime, usually I go to sleep at 11pm or midnight, it makes me go right to bed. Taken during the day, it takes about 90mg for me to feel any buzz or any anxiety relief off of it. It doesn't make me sleepy at all unless I take a load of it during the day. Sadly, I have no Temazzies at the moment. I'm using my prescribed Zolpidem and percocet to put me to sleep.

I start to get some effects from Temazepam at 60mg, very subtle but I could probably take that dose during the day if I wanted as an anxiolytic. But for it to get me asleep, an effective sleep aid, I'd need 150mg or more. I haven't had Temazepam in awhile so I don't completely remember how it effects me.
 
afaik its main property is a hypnotic. from what i hear its one of the best recreational benzos, but you just need to take massive doses.(like mentioned above) and in aus they only come in 10mg and bottles of 25.. so its not really worth it. i go for the 2mg xannys personally

I'm so lucky that I regard this as a 'party drug' instead of amphetamines which I consider an everyday drug. I can't stop tweaking for some reason but benzos I don't really care enough about to do everyday. Its not like I'm social or anything, I just don't think they help me function better and they give me memory problems.

This brings me to my Point, Why the fuck are you prescribed Xanax, Klonopin, AND Temazepam then dude? You make no sense to me at All. I'm not trying to be a dick, but Temazepam isn't for daytime use. I don't ever use it for, or during the day. That has got to be the stupidest thing you can do. Can you explain all of this. I'm not asking for personal problems. I'm simply asking why you need 3 benzos if you don't take them everyday, and you don't use them right. You can get on me for drug abuse, but you will never find me abusing Benzodiazpines. When your chest gets so tight, and you feel like you cannot breath you'll see what I mean by True anxiety but I don't understand what your diagnosis is. I want to know though because you throw me and everyone off it seems. First you Hate Dexedrine and think its dumb and then you Love Adderall, but yet you got scripts for both. Please explain this to me so I can understand a bit?! :\

My doctor loves me is why. :)

Xanax is for anxiety attacks, Klonopin is for maintenance, and Temezapam is for sleep.

No he doesn't and your bragging is nothing more than childish. It's not hard to get put on Temazepam. In fact its more open than Ambien with some doctors anymore. Xanax is Kind-Of rare to get anymore because doctors know of its high abuse rate but if you've had it before, it wont be hard getting back on it again. Klonopin is the number One benzodiazpine used today for anxiety. It's usually the first one, that and Ativan, they give you. Usually Ativan first, and then Klonopin. This topic reeks of doctor shopping for "shits-and-giggles".
 
You reek of jealousy, and hound me constantly, no more needs to be said. Sorry your doctor wasn't nice, but its not a good reason to hate me.

Actually I have a very good doctor.No one is hounding you. I don't Even talk to you this is the internet and I'm asking you WHY you need 3 benzos when you just said you want to take the ONE benzo thats specifically for night during the day. Next time if your doctor loves you SOOOO much you can ask him if you can take 80mgs of Temazepam during the day. You're a doctor shopper and I do not like people like you. You Don't need all the medication you list/claim to "need". Now go clean your room please muffin!

ps grow----Up......srsly
 
I guess I can't say it nicely.

Fuck you, your lame ass suffers anxiety cause you're a social retard and can't get the point that no one cares about your stupid problems that you come in and compulsively spew. If this was in a real life situation, you'd have more than a pounding heart, go and cry in corner, and leave the adults alone, we're cleaning our room first thing to go: Banana and orange peels. :p

Annnnnnnyyyyway, back to the topic I think.

Never been on temazepam myself, though I know a lot who have. It's not really at all easy to get prescribed here in the UK as there was such a huge bout of abuse in the 80s and 90s. I have sleep problems myself and have tried a number of benzos (not including temazepam) but none of them ever helped. Only zopiclone has helped my sleep.

I'd love to get my hands on a bunch though, would go down nicely with about 200mg of morphine. Mmmm.

Eh its easy to get for those who have Real sleep problems, and people who fake symptoms and can nerd their way in Clearly. I got a script the other day for them. I still haven't even touched them. I am only using them for nights when sleep will just not come. Not that I don't need them every night I probably do, but getting off temazepam was a bitch for like 5 months of use, maybe 4 probably longer I dunno. It sucked. It's not a day time drug. when I was a teeny booper like mr deprissycuh I took a 30mg egg with my done, and my adderall being stupid. Nothing happened. I found it to cause more anxiety throughout the day though. I certainly felt it but it was a short heavy feeling that you never really want during the day. I dunno lol. You certainly like your morphine eh? I have to admit the last time I relapsed was on 50 60mg contins, damn those were nice, I hate contins but its better than a vicodin or whatever when you're a junkie. Had em gone in 4 days and I was back at the methadone clinic. shit sucked but it was fun 3 days for sure. haha. I wouldn't want to imagine what would have happened had I added a temazepam in there when I was dosing. I was doing roughly 500mgs a day with percs and vics, pretty much whatever. ya know. we know. they know. lol

Hell we know. Contins do suck, I get 30mg & 60mg MST Continus (British equivalent of MS Contins) and they're a pain compared to IR but they're the best I've got sadly.

Temazepam is just a bitch to get hold of in the UK, it's treated like a last-last-last resort if intracerebroventricular flunitrazepam has failed! Well ... not quite, but nearly that bad.
 
Do you exercise? In the end I realized that it was my unhealthy lifestyle more than anything that contributed to my sleep. What are your sleep problems from?

Dude first things first don't Ever call me out again Pookie. If you have something like That to say email me and well arrange something. I hate fighting but I'm not some punkola child.

I have Always had sleeping issues. Even before I was on benzodiazapines or drugs in general. I always had problems sleeping. I remember being up for days just being me skateboarding everyday with too many thoughts. I had a lot of issues when I was a kid and for you to go on and say some shit like you did I'd beat your Ass in all honesty and being sincere with you. No one talks to me like that. I skateboard a lot. I don't "suck" either. I can some flip flop shit whatever. I'm not a weak little kid. I wasn't raised like that fool. I'm not a big buff guy, but I'm not the lankiest kid you may think. I WILL get buck if I have to. I used to go skate at Wilson 2 times a day for hours before school started. I love that park when there isn't a bunch of loud mouths flapping at the jaw. I eat healthy as fuck. I'm not fat. I do stretches, currently do I work out? well No, but you'd have to define work out. I still do push ups and sit ups if I feel like it. I will tell you one time, and one time only though. I don't care what you said, thats fine, hide behind a computer. Next time, and I don't make threats ever, ask me where I'm at, and if you feel like you need to say some fucked up shit like that to me do it face to face. I will get grimey . Big tuff badd ass I know, not really, but I handle mine, and I expect anyone to talk to me like that better know how to use their hooks or you will be the one crying in the fucking corner.

I have a REAL ptsd. I watched someone get stabbed ages ago. Blood everywhere. That was fuuucked up for me to see man. I couldn't and still don't sleep right because of that mess. I don't hate you but I think your either trying to start shit with the Wrong person, or are trying to be friends and are saying sorry for what you said then its cool. Otherwise my respect for you as a person is very little if any. I read, and your posts always pop up. Noone needs 3 benzos. I don't give a fuck. Whats happened to you? You ever lose friends? You ever lose yourself to a needle? I've fucked up so bad before I didn't know if my family would take me back in. I don't really use any drugs after slamming and getting on MMT. I hated myself. I hated myself so much I killed myself for a bit last year of a drug overdose. I got lucky in Intensive Care. It wasn't a typical overdose like heroin and pills, it was a lot worse than that. I probably should have died but I'm glad I didn't. I get anxiety over everything. I lose my breath sometimes. You want my life story forget it because you keep telling me bullshit G. You ever have a lame drug deal go down and then get held as a hostage for a full day just melting not knowing if your going to make it or not. I am not saying anything else.
