Insomnia
"Being a severe epileptic I&#039;ve had insomnia for years as well as some thyroid probs that lead to increased BP/HR.  I originally tried Lunesta /ambien and they caused pretty nasty side effects (doing stuff and not remembering etc) plus they stopped working pretty quickly.  My PCP   eventually placed me on 30mg tablet of Temazepam (from my understanding though not many drs in the US like to prescribe this med due to possible dependency issues etc). While it&#039;s only supposed to be used on a short term basis I&#039;ve actually been taking it for about a year almost every night (sometimes I don&#039;t),  when I don&#039;t take it i haven&#039;t noticed any unpleasant side effects.  It just slowly puts me while watching TV to a great  restful sleep. Def recommend!!"
