You do not happen to have fibromyalgia by any chance do you? Its just for many people with this condtion drugs work the opposite way to the way they should, why no-one knows, and I guess same can happen to anyone no matter if they suffer from anything other than insommia. Sounds as if you are one of them and need to see your doctor about something else to help you sleep

Having abstained from coffee for several hours, and feeling a little tired, I took my first 20mg of temazepam and settled down with a book before attempting to doze off. I am WIDE awake. I found myself tossing and turning, stretching myself, humming various tunes, rolling on the bedroom floor. Is this supposed to be a soporific or an amphetamine by another name?

I am up at midnight. I took 15mg of restoril/tamazepam at 9:00 and feel like I've taken amphetamines or several cups of coffee (I have not had coffee or caffeine since I gave it up 2 months ago). Interesting the other reply mentions fibromyalgia. I have pain, fatigue, almost all the fibromyalgia symptoms, but my doc refuses to send me to a fibromyalgia specialist because "fibro patients don't present with dizziness." except I presented with pain and fatigue and the dizziness is a result of stress as an effect of searching for a diagnosis for a few years and having every blood test come back normal. So now not only do I feel like crap, now I am wide awake and WIRED! Thanks, Restoril. Thanks, s***ty doctor of mine. I don't feel safe taking anything else for sleep now, so I guess I'll be up for a few more hours. I don't function well on no sleep. Under 8 hours of sleep and my pain/fatigue are horrific. Wish I'd never tried this med.

Temazapam DID use to be a very potent sleep aid,it almost seems like they have changed the med in some way as it's totally useless now!!!

I think since the gell eggs were recalled the chalk tablets are useless!.
I'm sure they have taken out at least one of the ingredients since the gellthix eggs were re-called and the tablets were introduced?.
I find mogadon/Nitrazapam which usually only comes in 5mg compaired to 10mg or even 20mg temazepam to be much preferred for me anyway???.
Mogadon all the waaayyy!!!!!!

I was the exact same last night. It didnt make me relaxed at all. Going back to my doctor today so I can try something else. Valium (Diazepam Tablets) have worked best for me in the past.

I was given this stuff to. I hadn't taken anything for sleep prior aside from melatonin. I came to trying a tranquilizer after no luck with melatonin. I read up on the medication and was worried by how strong they make it seem. The prescription was only to use 3x a week. I tried my first dosage, even after reading all the side effects it came to my need to sleep trumping it all. I figured within 15-30 mins I would be off to dream land, boy was I wrong. This medication did absolutely nothing, no euphoric feeling, no tiredness, just nothing. So I can concur with the poster here that this stuff seemingly doesn't work on some people.

Imovane works great for insomnia !!! Temazepam has a shorter life span and only gives you about 3-4 hours sleep

Temazepam didn't work for me either and I had the same as responses 1,4,5 and 6. Wide awake -even worse for having taken it. Ambien is fine with me but my doctor wanted me to try Temazepam. I will be requesting to go back to Ambien. Thank you all for posting, helped me know it's not just me.

I have used Ambien but it made me get up and eat so I switched to Temazepam 15MG about 2 years ago, now it isn't working, last 2 nights I spent walking around and moving from bed to bed and chair to chair, awful....I took a Xanax also, I finally went to sleep at 4:45 this AM and that has happen the last 2 nights. My Dr. has prescribed Lunesta but held up by my insurance company, so not sure what it will do if I can get it. Should I be taking the Xanax on a regular prescribed basis, gave this to me because I was going off Ultram, back pain, had withdrawal and anxiety, I don't know where to turn!!

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?
