In reply to Temazepam (Restoril): 2 or 3 d/wk = no tolerance?, posted by myco on February 18, 2009, at 15:50:06
Sleep Doc gave me 30mg restoril (temazepam) for insomnia relating to maoi induced inability to stay asleep to be taken a couple of times a week then a rx for L-tryptophan (500mg) to be taken the remaining nights not on temazepam (despite some opinion tryptophan would be a bad choice with a maoi...he wasnt concerned at all at this dose). With the temazepman he confirmed what I read in studies that tolerance to it doesnt seem to develope in most people like the other benzos and in fact some people actually lower the dose over time. I remember Phillipa mentioning she actually lowered her dose of valium over time...temazepam is derived from valium.
I'm free LOL of the "sleeping pill" phobic gp nightmare I was lost in for many weeks.
Now...will it work...
