Hahaha, This really made me giggle. I am also having this problem its driving me crazy. Not only am I doing the same but after just two hours of sleep I am wide awake with far to much energy and with extream munchies.
It's driving me crazy as I'm exhausted in the day time but can never seem to get any sleep.

On my second night took two 15 mg and was up all night the first night I slept 4 hrs. Felt like I was on speed kind of. I wonder if having add well into my High school years has anything to do with opposite reaction?

Tamazapam kept me awake ! I took a 30mg at 9pm. I took a bath at 11pm. I am a writer so I wrote until 4 am. Still not sleepy. Tossed all over the bed. Finally slept until 6am. Woke up feeling drunk, slid on the tile floor and stepped on the cat. I felt drunk but not tired. Never again. Made coffee and shopped all day. It did not work... ??

The VA gives out a lot of Placeboes, its happened to me several times like Ambient, one bottle would work, next bottle I got did nothing. I believe they do it so that you do not get addicted to certain medications, or thats how they experiment with patients. They are the Government so they can do what they want.

restoril / temazepam used to work very well as a hypnotic/anoxylitic. I have been taking it for over 10 years and it worked like a charm. They changed the color of the pill and the pharmacist assured me that the active ingredient is the same regardless if the ``new'' pill was the color blue, yellow, or white. IMHO, a yellow pill is not the same as a blue red pill.

I have been so tired I asked my doc to prescribe DAW for several flurazepam (dalmane). The medication is made my mylan and it does not work at all. Don't waste your time...

I have started to take ambien again and it is working rather well. I get several hours of sleep (usually 3-4). I am guessing that they are concerned that GABA-A is too dangerous to activate with an agonist, it would seem like the Z-drugs are safer because the GABA-A PAMs ``...appear to bind to the GABA-A receptor in a way that does not cause a high degree of tolerance to their therapeutic actions ....'' from stahl.

I feel like I am being treated like a child drug addict. I live in the united states, and they have started a database for people that use dangerous drugs like benodiazepines so that they can pretend that they are addressing the ``opiate epidemic''.

I truly believe that our government is trying to pretend that responsible use of medication should be determined by legislators and not the doctor and patient. 70,000 people in the US have died in a single year from opiates. Is it possible that their way is the wrong way. They disgust me.

The problem I have found with Temazepam is that you build up a tolerance very quickly. I was prescribed 20mg ‘jelly eggs’ which were a dream come true after suffering with insomnia for some time. Originally, 1x20mg on an empty stomach send me off for a nice long sleep (small amount of residual ‘hangover’ in the morning, but much better than the crushing feeling of not having slept all night). However, literally the third night the 20mg had no such effect. This progressed until after 6-7 days I had to take 80mg to help me sleep through the night. I have since stopped in fear of ‘overdosing’ in order to get a full nights sleep. Back to the drawing board.

The VA gave them to me and its like drinking coffee before going to bed. Having abstained from coffee for several hours, and feeling a little tired, I took my first 20mg of temazepam.

Temazepam does not come in 20 milligrams. Your best bet is to try asking your doctor for 7.5 milligrams x2. The 7.5 mg pills are the old novel 120. They are labeled novel 120 and are pink and white. They seem to work better than the new "brand name''.

According to what I understand of the FDA orange book, novel still has a patent on the 7.5 mg pill - won't last for long though.

I would also talk to your doctor if your nightmares are becoming more vivid. This is usually not a problem with Restoril. It's like Desyrel all over again. Desyrel used to be a square pill that was scored and could be broken in half to form 2 triangles. They replaced Desyrel with the "round trazodone''. generic trazodone gives me the most vivid and horrifying dreams I have ever had. I wake up in a sweat withing the hour squirrly as hell.

Never had a problem with the square desyril.

Another helpful tip: talk to your doctor about 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan), I have found it works much better than the synthetic meletonic agents.

Is this supposed to be a soporific or an amphetamine by another name?

Thank you for confirming my insanity!

Would like to say no matter the dose for me it literally does nothing for me. I have never used any other drug except marijuana. No tolerance at all. It’s like my body doesn’t process it or something

The temazepam is no longer a useful drug. It has been reformulated by Mallinckrodt pharma. The drug is now useless. They are the only company making the drug and they messed it up! Such idiots! How do you mess up a benzo?
