You shouldn't be driving.    You say you just want to sleep but that won't happen as long as you continue to take these heavy drugs.    These drugs do not allow normal sleep patterns.    They actually disrupt the sleep/wake cycle by pushing aside your body's own natural chemicals that control the sleep/wake cycle.    You end up in a worse situation than what you took the meds for in the first place.       Why the medical profession insists on handing these drugs out is beyond me,  maybe they are all practicing on 'automatic pilot.'

Medications can effect different people in different ways. you just never know. You may very well be one of those rare few that this particular med has no effect on. 120mg should have knocked out a horse!
The melatonin is great, as gnarly mentioned. It is a hormone that is naturally produced by the body to regulate the sleep cycle, therefore, you cannot become addicted or build up a tolerance to it. It is fairly cheap and you can usually find it in the dollar stores that carry vitamins.

HI temazapam is a benzo mad for sleep if you take 2 like your suppose to lay down in a quite room you will usually dose off in 1/2 hr .....its lk for short term use like less then a month but it is highly addictive ansd once addicted you will find it almost impossible to sleep without it your much better off sticking with the natueral stuff vlaraian rot or melatoninon if you use the meoatonon the room has to be dark for it to work it works off harmones I have forund a tea that works really well you can find it at health stores or order it online its called'' ''yogi kava stress releafe'' I use a lot of teas and this one really works good to settle the nerves as well as put you to sleep give it a try it nonaddictive and dose the trick....sleep aids are a double edged sward they work for a wile then they dont but you cant get off them there best left alone sleep is the last thing to return back to normal give it a chace in the long run you will be better off good luck and God bless........Gnarly
