Went to my friendly Pa for my monthly 7 min Med check up. He changed up one of my meds I hate when he does that. Ever since he did that to me the first time I saw him. ( He took me cold turkey off two pretty strong meds, and doubled ones I said were not affective) ever since then he has earned the name of ‘Quack’ on my caller ID. But anyway, he takes me off ambian, I had been have a little trouble sleeping, but, still, nature of the beast, you know. I I’d not ask for different Med.He puts me on a 30 day Supply of Benzo called Temazepan or something. I looked it up. Really wicked bad stuff. NOT what you would want in the hands of someone who is suicidal!
I am scared to take them, but three days with no sleep is really messing with me!
And no, he is the only guy for hundreds of miles, seriously.
But wow, alcohol and a bottle of these could finish what I failed at in July…. Why am I even saying this, I am better…. why do Dr do this, is he trying to make me crazy again! Maybe that is the answer, they are creating a self-sustaining practice. (That was a joke) Almost everyone I have met in this field was caring and empathetic, but not Quack. Anyway, I am probably spend my night staring at a intimidaring bottle of pills.

Any kind of benzos have lists of possible side effects pages long. Plus do not operate heavy machinery blah blah blah. Temazepam is generally prescribed for insomnia as opposed to panic or anxiety attacks like diazepam or lorazepam. I think anyway, I don’t actually have a pharmacy degree like my girlfriend.
I’m on lorazepam at the moment, but I normally, I only take it when I need it. I’ve taken them with alcohol too. Both with and without suicidal intentions, really the only difference is the quantity that I took. You’re not supposed to take it with alcohol, but sometimes, I don’t care. Alcohol makes both the effect of the pills stronger, and the pills make the alcohol stronger.
First time I tried (properly) to kill myself last year, I took around 12 and half a bottle of vodka. I threw up everywhere and passed out, somehow without the noose I had prepared in my closet around my neck. Flatmate found me because of the smell and called an ambulance. It was really messy. My room smelled of vodka and acid and it was everywhere.
I didn’t die though.
Even if you take enough of both to actually kill yourself, it’s not going to be like just going to sleep the way people die in movies.
The pills are probably not as bad as you think they are. You might as well just take them once, and not again if you have a bad experience, but if you use them properly, you should be fine. It will probably be healthier for your mood in general to get some decent sleep. But, I’m not a doctor, just some guy, so maybe I’m wrong.
Thank you everyone, I did take one, and then… fell asleep. So thanks, for the help:-)
Alcohol and temazepam is unlikely to kill you.
Ive done a lot of research into suicide and even have books on it and youll find you could take the whole packet and you wont die. My doctor even confirmed thisnwhen i asked about it. I have taken a whole box a valium in one go (5mg) and just woke up next day although i was drowsy but very relaxed for the next 24 hrs
