Suggest Good Sleep Aid That Can Be Taken Along With Temazepam

default
Posted on Wed, 24 Jun 2015
Question: I've taken temazepam with thorazine for sleep and it worked out well. The doctor changed the thorazine to trazadone and that didn't work out. Then he changed it to Ambien CR that doesn't work well either. Feel horrible in the morning and wake through the night. Next he tried with luniest, same issue. What would be a good sleep medicine to go with temazepam (temazepam by itself is pretty weak for sleeping 15mg x2) so I can gently sleep through the night? I have a severe case of Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Clinical Depression. I really need to sleep.

Brief Answer:
clonazepam or lorazepam is the option

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

In my opinion lorazepam or clonazepam can be added or even replace temazepam.They are more potent benzodiazepine than temazepam.

In generalized anxiety disorder mirtazapine is also used which also helps in sleep.

Discuss above options with your treating doctor and choose the medicine suitable to you.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
