Primary uses for temazepam
- Treating insomnia: This includes difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently during the night, or waking up too early.
- Premedication: In some cases, it may be used as a calming and relaxing premedication before surgery or other medical and dental procedures.
- Short-term use only: Due to the risk of dependency, addiction, and withdrawal symptoms, temazepam is intended only for short-term use, typically for 7 to 10 consecutive days.
- Risk of dependence: Temazepam is a controlled substance with the potential for abuse. Taking it for extended periods or in higher-than-prescribed doses can lead to physical and mental dependence.
- Time to take: For best results, temazepam should be taken right before bedtime, as it works quickly to induce sleep. You should only take it if you have a full 7 to 8 hours to sleep afterward to avoid lingering drowsiness and memory problems.
- Potential side effects: Common side effects include drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and a “hangover” feeling the next day. Other side effects can include confusion, coordination problems, and in rare cases, worsening insomnia or behavioral changes.
- Medical guidance is crucial: Never change your dosage without a doctor’s advice. You should also inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking, as they may interact with temazepam.
