RESTORIL WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS INFO / RESTORIL TAPER HELP
GETTING OFF RESTORIL NATURALLY
Restoril is one of the most commonly prescribed benzodiazepines in the United States and recommended for short term use only in the treatment of insomnia. Like any benzodiazepine, Restoril can cause dependency quickly, even within a few days of continuous use. As the GABA receptors are modified from the Restoril, sleep interruptions can occur and daytime anxiety increases. [1] Do not stop Restoril cold-turkey, a slow Restoril taper is needed.
Our nonprofit takes a multi-pronged approach to Restoril Withdrawal, incorporating a slow, gentle taper with the appropriate Restoril withdrawal timeline while assisting the GABA receptors in their recovery with a proven, holistic approach used for nearly two decades. Recovery is possible. Let us help you with our At-Home Witdrawal Program.*

RESTORIL WITHDRAWAL TIMELINE
Restoril is the brand name for Temazepam, a benzodiazepine prescribed for insomnia. Restoril acts on GABA (gamma-Aminobutryric Acid) receptors and the downregulation of GABA is responsible for the widespread and devastating withdrawal symptoms. Restoril has a relatively short half life of 8 hours and while the metabolites can remain active up to 48 hours, most find that withdrawal symptoms begin within a few hours and worsen significantly within 24-48 hours. Early symptoms can include extreme anxiety, nausea, insomnia, sweating, fatigue, muscle weakness and headaches.* [7]

PROVEN RESULTS
Restoril is an intermediate acting benzodiazepine, approved for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Chronic use of Restoril can cause drug tolerance and this can develop rapidly, therefore Restoril is only recommended for short-term use (1-2 weeks). In use longer than 1-2 weeks, tolerance or dependency to Restoril can rapidly develop, causing the inability of Restoril to maintain sleep. Some studies have shown tolerance to Restoril can occur in as little as one week, whereas other studies showed no issue of tolerance in 6 days.
Restoril (Temazepam) is an intermediate acting benzodiazepine, approved for the short-term treatment of insomnia. Temazepam was first synthesized in 1969 and by the 1980s became one of the most popular and widely prescribed hypnotics on the market.
While Temazepam (Restoril) was shown in laboratory sleep studies to decrease the number of nightly awakenings but has the disadvantage of distorting the normal sleep pattern. In the UK the prescribing guidelines of hypnotics are restricted to 2-4 weeks due to concerns of tolerance and dependence. In the United States Temazepam (Restoril) is approved as “no-go pills” to help special-duty personnel and aviators sleep for mission readiness.
A current study is underway from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago to analyze the effects of pharmaceuticals on fish to determine the life-cycle exposure and alterations from Temazepam (Restoril) individually and then combined with anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and a muscle relaxants since this combination is typically found in streams flowing into the Great Lakes.
The main pharmacological action of Restoril is to increase the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA. This causes sedation, motor impairment, ataxia, anxiolysis, an anticonvulsant effect, muscle relaxation, and a reinforcing effect.
As with all benzodizepines, Restoril produces addictive central nervous system effects when taken with other medications that depress the CNS, such as barbiturates, other benzodiazepines, sleeping pills, muscle relaxants, antihistamines, anesthetics and alcohol.
Restoril had the highest rate of drug intoxication (including overdose), among benzodiazepines in cases with and without alcohol combined (1985 study). A 1995 Australian study found that overdose with Temazepam (Restoril) was more likely to lead to coma than other benzodiazepines.*

RESTORIL TECHNICAL DATA AND REFERENCES
According to the FDA
Withdrawal symptoms. You may have withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking RESTORIL (Temazepam) suddenly. Withdrawal symptoms can be serious and include seizures shakiness, stomach and muscle cramps, vomiting and sweating. Mild withdrawal symptoms include a depressed mood and trouble sleeping. Talk to your healthcare provider about slowly stopping RESTORIL (Temazepam) to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
Abnormal thoughts and behavior. Symptoms include more outgoing or aggressive behavior than normal, confusion, agitation, hallucinations, worsening of depression, and suicidal thoughts.
Abuse and dependence. Taking RESTORIL (Temazepam) can cause physical and psychological dependence. Physical and psychological dependence is not the same as drug addiction. Your healthcare provider can tell you more about the differences between physical and psychological dependence and drug addiction.
Severe allergic reactions. Symptoms include swelling of the tongue or throat, trouble breathing, and nausea and vomiting. Get emergency medical help right away if you have these symptoms after taking RESTORIL (Temazepam).
Abuse and addiction are separate and distinct from physical dependence and tolerance. Abuse is characterized by misuse of the drug for non-medical purposes, often in combination with other psychoactive substances. Physical dependence is a state of adaptation that is manifested by a specific withdrawal syndrome that can be produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of the drug and/or administration of an antagonist. Tolerance is a state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug induces changes that result in a diminution of one or more of the drug’s effects over time. Tolerance may occur to both the desired and undesired effects of drugs and may develop at different rates for different effects.
Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiological disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. Drug addiction is a treatable disease, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, but relapse is common.
