As some of you might know I was in a bad accienct a couple weeks ago.Sadinmichan who is a great friend came on and told of my story.I was breaking one of my colts and he flipped over backwords on me.broke 4 ribs and my left wrist and arm. I had 30 plus days clean time on me.pain is so much better that I would stop my meds.stating to have mimi w/ds symp. i was on them for 2weeks and 4 days the days were in the hospital when the had me on moripen. first day with nothing, my pain is not that bad,I can handle it without the meds.I hate the fact the I was on them less then a month,and i's starting to feel it. not that bad just don't like it.my question is the dr. put me on restoril for the sleep issue and that for quit awhile.Has any body heard of this? has anyone taking this? My doctor said it would help better then a ambien? I have not tried it yet. Sorry for all the boo's doing this one handed. Plymouthgirl

I had a goal to but the ribs thourgh that out the window.made up my mind last night would be that last for me.so my pill was last night at 4:00 pm right before supper.I figured 2 1/2 weeks was long enough on them.ribbs and wrist and elbow are getting better each day motrin should work and help.through the ones the doctors gave me way.Its not that bad this time but,don't know yet with me only being in hour 22.little stomace issue and some panic issues. hope it goes quick I have a son who wants to go trick and treating friday.I did keep the restoril for sleep problems if they arise.

Hey girl, Don't know about the sleep meds but just wanted to say hi and glad your feeling a little better. So sorry about your accident. Bieng on the meds for a few weeks will get to you. I know from some relapses I've had for a week after a few months clean and I had wds...not as bad but they were there and unwelcome. I have 31 days now and will be having surgery on the 10th and will be on a morphine pump. I will have 6 weeks but am so scared of the meds. I don't want the setback but sometimes we need them for short tern bc the pain would be unbearable. My goal is to be on them for less than a week. Hope I can reach it. Take care. Corey

hi plymouthgirl, so good to see you posting....and to know you are better.  i have missed you.

Restoril™ (temazepam) is a benzodiazepine hypnotic agent. The chemical name is 7-chloro- 1,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, and the structural formula is:


Anyway it is a form of temazepam/a benzo...it is not as strong nor as dangerous as dalmane..but it is in the benzo family

restoril should work better then ambien It worked great for me the best I have used .Here is the bad part if you take them more then a few nights in a row when you try to stop you wont be able to sleep without them .I suggest you use the very sparingly  

[worried878]

Restoril is in the benzo family...and u know how benzos are girl...dalmane is also in the benzo family but both are designed for sleep verses anxiety...my mother is on dalmane and has been for years...she is not an abuser but had encephalitis and extreme vertigo...sleeping sicknes for a while..then it turned into not being able to sleep..she is 74, has Rhuematoid arthritis and i really dont care if she takes a dalmane every night to get good sleep..but she is addicted to them..this i know as when i hurt she used to give me one every blue moon as it is a fantastic muscle relaxer..she wont anymore so i know she has to have one each night

thing is..use it short term..it is more addicting than ambien..may work better...probably does..but it is more addicting than ambien for most people
