Temazepam Tips from Pharmacists

• Take temazepam before retiring to bed. Make sure there are at least 7-8 hours before you need to get out of bed.

• Temazepam can cause dizziness and drowsiness. Avoid driving and other hazardous activities until you know how it affects you.

• Do not take temazepam for more than 2 weeks without your doctor’s approval. Taking this medication for longer periods of time increases your risk of physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms. 

• Tell your doctor right away if you find yourself doing activities like driving, preparing food, or making phone calls while not fully awake.
