I have been taking temazepam for my insomnia lately but not finding it to work. Im prescribed 20mg before bed time but find that it just puts me in a tired state but not enough to sleep. If i up the dose to 40mg i fall asleep but only for roughly 4 hrs and then im tossing and turning in a broken sleep again for the rest of the night. Now i have had flurazepam before at 15mg a night that made me sleep better but also only for 5hrs max but if i dbl the dose then i get my proper nights sleep. I have also tried nitrazepam at 10mg a night and it worked but left me with a slight hangover so to speak. Even 20mg diazepam gives me better sleep overall for the night.
So why is Temazepam (the go to insomnia benzo) not really working for me. I have also used midazolam and triazolam but find the amnesia effect to hectic to deal with (or maybe that is just me)
Any advice from the Benzo experts on here
Sidenote: My current benzo experience are; alprozalam, lorazepam, diazepam, bromazepam, nitrazepam, triazolam, midazolam, clonazepam and maybe one or two i forgot.
I normally use the long acting during the day, short acting if i need instant relieve and the hypnotics for bed time.
Guess im just wondering why temazepam is so weak for me or why i need such high dosages for proper sleep. Im really looking for alternatives for better sleep and i dont want to go the Z drug route.
I also found that taking 300-600mg gabapentin with my night time dose to help a lot also but now im just using more meds at the end of the day to sleep which is not on.
Any advice or input from someone
