TEMAZEPAM WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS INFO / WEANING OFF TEMAZEPAM SUCCESSFULLY
Temazepam is frequently prescribed in the treatment of insomnia. Temazepam is only recommended for short-term treatment of insomnia, but long-term use is commonplace. [1] Like all Benzodiazepines, Temazepam has short term efficacy and then as the GABA receptors are modified a plethora of symptoms emerge including weakening of the muscles often leading to falls, impairment of cognitive function, increase in daytime anxiety, and worsening sleep patterns.
Our nonprofit takes a multi-pronged approach to Temazepam Withdrawal, assisting in the recovery of the GABA receptors with a proven holistic approach combined with a gradual taper - this helps to manage Temazepam withdrawal symptoms and provides the greatest chance of success for weaning off Temazepam. Let us help you with our At-Home Taper Program to successfully get off Temazepam*
Below is information about Temazepam, Temazepam withdrawal, and getting off Temazepam naturally.

TEMAZEPAM WITHDRAWAL TIMELINE
Temazepam, a benzodiazepine prescribed for insomnia. Temazepam acts on GABA (gamma-Aminobutryric Acid) receptors and the downregulation of GABA is responsible for the widespread and devastating withdrawal symptoms. Once dependent on Temazepam, a gradual withdrawal process, over a number of months, is required for weaning off Temazepam. Restoril has a relatively short half life of 8 hours and while the metabolites can remain active up to 48 hours, most find that Temazepam withdrawal symptoms begin within a few hours and worsen significantly within 24-48 hours. Early Temazepam withdrawal symptoms can include extreme anxiety, nausea, insomnia, sweating, fatigue, muscle weakness and headaches.* We recommend starting with All-Natural Nutraceuticals to help soothe the nervous system and then begin weaning off Temazepam slowly.

PROVEN RESULTS
Temazepam 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 was more likely to lead to coma than other benzodiazepines.
Like all Benzodiazepines, Temazepam can cause physical dependence and addiction and if withdrawn too rapidly can cause benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms that resemble severe alcohol and barbiturate withdrawal. Abrupt withdrawal from therapeutic doses of Temazepam may result in a severe benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome. Gradual and careful dose reduction is strongly recommended.
Temazepam (Restoril) 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 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 is approved as “no-go pills” to help special-duty personnel and aviators sleep for mission readiness.
Chronic use of Temazepam can cause drug tolerance and this can develop rapidly, therefore Temazepam is only recommended for short-term use (1-2 weeks). In use longer than 1-2 weeks, tolerance to Temazepam will rapidly develop, causing the inability of Temazepam to maintain sleep. Some studies have shown tolerance to Temazepam can occur in as little as one week, whereas other studies showed no issue of tolerance in 6 days.
The main pharmacological action of Temazepam 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.
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 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.
As with all benzodizepines, Temazepam 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.*

Daytime drowsiness Amnesia or forgetfulness Muscle weakness, lack of balance or coordination Numbness, burning, pain, or tingly feeling Headache, blurred vision, depressed mood Feeling nervous, excited or irritable Nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort Dry mouth, increased thirst Confusion Feeling restless Low energy Feeling weak

TEMAZEPAM CONTRAINDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS: per PDR
Severe: neonatal abstinence syndrome, teratogenesis, angioedema, anaphylactoid reactions, neonatal respiratory depression
Moderate: euphoria, confusion, blurred vision, ataxia, palpitations, dyspnea, amnesia, nystagmus, hallucinations, tolerance, psychological dependence, physiological dependence, withdrawal, memory impairment, complex sleep-related behaviors, hypotension, respiratory depression
Mild: drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, lethargy, anxiety, diarrhea, weakness, vertigo, nausea, tremor, vomiting, ocular irritation, hyperhidrosis, back pain, agitation, restlessness, somnambulism, nightmares, insomnia
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), CNS depression, coadministration with other CNS depressants, pulmonary disease, respiratory depression, respiratory insufficiency, sleep apnea
The most serious reactions of Temazepam are CNS depression and respiratory depression. As with other benzodiazepines, Temazepam should not be used in patients with known respiratory depression. Use with extreme caution in patients with severe pulmonary disease or conditions associated with compromised respiratory function or respiratory insufficiency such as sleep apnea or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, avoid coadministration with other CNS depressants, especially opioids, unless no other alternatives are available as coadministration significantly increases the risk for respiratory depression, low blood pressure, and death.*
TEMAZEPAM TECHNICAL DATA AND REFERENCES
The FDA states:
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.*
