Temazepam (marketed under brand names Restoril®, Normison®) is a powerful hypnotic drug, which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It possesses powerful anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, amnestic, sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant properties.

History


Until recently temazepam was produced as a gel-filled capsule intended to be taken orally. However, it gained a certain notoriety in the United Kingdom, and especially Scotland, when it was discovered that if the capsules were melted and injected the effects were more potent and similar to alcohol. However, the liquid has a tendency to congeal in arteries and cause thrombosis and gangrene, in some cases requiring amputation.

Pharmacology


The pharmacological action of temazepam is thought to be the result of its facilitating the action of gamma aminobutyric acid, an inhibitor neurotransmitter.

@erickalaw You know from my past experience, switching sometimes produces better results - change to temazepam or nitrazepam, equiv dose.
