Diego;
Good to hear about your success with Restoril.
for others reading: It is in the benzo class of drugs. Meaning it can be hard to get off of for some.
Restoril (temazepam) should not be used by those with severe depression accompanied by suicidal tendencies, according to this info gleaned from the web:
(Quote)
"Use of temazepam should be avoided, when possible, in individuals with the following conditions:
* Ataxia
* Severe hypoventilation
* Acute narrow-angle glaucoma
* Severe hepatic deficiencies (hepatitis and liver cirrhosis decrease elimination by a factor of 2)
* Severe renal deficiencies (e.g. patients on dialysis)
* Severe sleep apnea
* Severe depression, particularly when accompanied by suicidal tendencies
* Acute intoxication with alcohol, narcotics, or other psychoactive substances
* Myasthenia gravis
* Hypersensitivity or allergy to any drug in the benzodiazepine class"
