How To Taper Off Temazepam Completely (Page 8)
UpdatedPlease help; doctor doesn't want me as a patient anymore, reasons are ridiculous and too long to get into, but now she has put me in a jam. I was taking Clonazepam 2mg. 2 tablets 2x per week(for anxiety & sleep), & Temazepam 30mg. 2 tablets 2x per week(for sleep). I have been on both these drugs for 2 1/2 years & want to get the heck off them. I noticed the last couple months; neither appeared to be helping the anxiety/sleep issues I have had; so basically I just want off both. I have been Clonazepam free for 11 days now. I CANNOT believe how I feel--like I could crawl right out of my skin; anxiety ridden, non stop talking,completely wired,nerves jumping in arms & legs, more and more and on and on. Bad idea to go cold turkey, but did & now out of them. So I have to deal with the withdrawal with that one I guess.... But like I mentioned, I also want to get off the Temazepam. Am not going to go more crazy & quit cold turkey on that one too. My tablets are 30mg. & I normally took 2-30mg. tablets on Mondays & Fridays. Since I don't have a doctor anymore--can anyone suggest how to taper till completed weaned off? I want to get off this crud asap. (as you probably notice, I have a high tolerance). Thanks everyone!!!

Dexedrine withdrawal is usually not so bad. The most severe symptoms I experience are frequent urination and sleepiness for a couple of days.
Some people will abuse the drug. Usually to stay awake all night; usually to study. Taking a small dose in the morning for it's 'wakeful feeling' effect is not uncommon - especially when the person is aware of and concerned about abuse potential.
there is also monafanil (sp), it is a histamine that keeps you awake all day long. I can't remember the name.
Good sleep hygiene would recommend against taking naps during the day...
I am not advocating it's use here, just merely supplying some info.
Re: Susan (# 2)
try mirtazapine instead of trazadone. works better for anxiety. this is what I used before.
