Hello, Kay! How are you?

No, there is nothing similar available over the counter.

As listed by FDA, Restoril contains the active ingredient Temazepam, which is a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat insomnia.

It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

What other medications have you tried?
