One 30 mg capsule does the trick. Better reaction if taken on an empty stomach. Usually get between 6-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep with no nightmares or hangover effect. Wake up feeling fully rested.

My psychiatrist prescribed this for me starting at taking 30 mg/night (30 mg capsules). At first I woke up less during the night but then I started having bizarre dream, like my daughter being abducted and my ultimately being chased by 2 guys, each holding a homemade ping pong paddle in one hand and a fork in the other. So obviously I stopped taking it the next night. Well, that was 2 nights ago and I'm having major withdrawal issues since I was on such a high dosage for such a short period (3 weeks). The last two days I haven't been able to go to work due to shakinesss and nervousness. According to this site the withdrawal issues usually aren't more than 2 nights, I pray that's trueRead More Read Less

I asked to be given a different medication than the Ambien I had been taking. My NP told me that his patients had had good responses with Temazepam. I am mostly pleased too. I usually get a good six hours sleep. For me, this is good.

Unfortunately I have been given this as a treatment for chronic insomnia on and off for 18 yrs and every time I take it I end up being wide awake and over active. On the flip side my sister has half and is out like a light! But I seem to get very hit and miss results on many medications.

15 mg capsule for intermittent insomnia. Not very effective. Still some problems falling asleep and waking up during the night. Considerable hangover effect in the morning. Can not recommend.

Puts me into deep sleep immediately with few negative effects on following day. Downside is that it doesn't keep me asleep or prevent night terror.

Been on Tem. 30 mg for at least 15 years. Very concerned with memory problems. Dr. is helping me withdraw gradually. Has anyone with a similar history noticed improvement with memory after stopping the drug?

It was a 'hit or miss' when I had to take it after 3 other meds did not work. I have extreme trouble not only falling asleep but also staying asleep,(I wake often after only 2-3 hrs sleep) and if I woke in the middle of the night then I was drowsy all day, but even if it worked it was NEVER longer than 5 hrs!But I would never take another one if I woke and because it was a capsule I could not just break it and take half. I had tried it off and on for about 2 years.

I only take Temazepam when I am exhausted, haven't slept well in several nights, and can't function. My physician said to be careful with it because it's addicting. So I actually only take it maybe once a month, 15mg. When I take it, I have the best and most sound sleep ever and wake up refreshed and with no side effects or grogginess. This absolutely works for me. I've been taking it many year.

You can only take it for a short period of time otherwise it will stop working. I have developed problems with weakness of the eye lid muscle and am unsure whether that is due to this medication. My eyelid feels heavier after taking temazepam.

Some nights this works for me a sometimes it doesn't. It takes several hours for me to fall asleep. Once asleep I do wake up throughout the night but, not as often. I take 30mg. I'm still on the fence with this until I speak to my Dr.

I get a full night sleep 7-8 hrs with taking Temazepam and feel great the next day. I've been taking for about 20 yrs. I've had a problem with sleeping for most of my adult life. Been off the pill for 8 days and only got 2-3 hrs sleep. Could not function. So this works for me.

I was put on this to help me with my fibromyalgia and to help me get sleep from the insomnia and pain. But IT DOES NOT WORK for me. Im taking 30 mgs and all it has done is give me vicid and sometimes nightmares and it has knocked something off balance in my brain because now I am angry and pissed off all the time. I called my dr yesterday and left a message for him to change this med. There is no way im taking this EVER AGAIN. Good luck to those who do. It only has had negative side effects for me.

I take 30mg. once or twice per week in order to not develop a dependency. Helps me to sleep for about 4 hrs. and then fall asleep again for total of 6-7 hrs. Dry mouth at night...but no hangover effect.
