Although I'm not an expert, I wouldn't recommend this course of action because afaik it can be quite potent under circumstances. Are you on one dosage of 10mg per night? Just reading up on it, it doesn't seem to help you get to sleep but prevents broken sleep.
If you're worried it's not working for you then either your doctor or your GP should be able to help. Also, if you're having problems sleeping the best therapy in my experience is relaxation techniques - wind down before you go to bed and chill out. Do some breathing exercises and get in a thoroughly tranquil state so you feel peaceful before you go to bed, hopefully this should help.
I'm not an expert though, I'd wait for bongbudda's reply..
it is highly addictive as well in a far more damaging way than heroin so do be careful.
i didnt know valium was temazapem..thought it was diazapem?
thats ok. i was on them for a few weeks but they were addicitve..just got trouble sleeping now.
im more calm so dont need diazepam now.... once my sleep gets better hopefully i'll get back on the right track. :eek2:
mild and very safe but work.
no diazapem and valium are the same ... they are sedatives but temazepam are sleepers. thats what my doc said anyway. i'm only on them short term. i cant keep not sleeping as its affecting my appetite and im losing to much weight. vicious circle.
Not sleeping is affecting your appetite?
yeah. i don't know why. its only since i've not been sleeping properly that my appetite has gone. very strange.
Yeah - that is a strange one... No idea what to suggest really, which ain't much help.
I assume that you are getting regular, decent exercise?
yeah i've been going through a lot recently...bereavement and relationship breakdown and loss of my job! so once i start getting back on track i should be ok. thanks though.
Life sometimes throws you curves... you just gotta ride them out without losing grip...
If you are only having sleep issues you might want to ask for Zopiclone instead, its not a benzo and isnt physically addictive so can be used for a little longer. I have found it to be the best sleeping pill I've tried for my insomnia.
Because in some cases its good to give people a break from worrying about their condition, or even really thinking about themselves or anything.
I think you will find that 100mg is a high end recreational dose for someone with a tolerance. A GP would NEVER give that dose out to start if ever at all.
As for as I know it is the general first time standard prescription dose yes.
