Restoril®, Recovery First:"Restoril®, or Temazepam, is a benzodiazepine used to treat insomnia. Use of Restoril can cause addiction and physical dependence; withdrawal symptoms may occur if the drug is discontinued. Withdrawal symptoms can range from sleeplessness and anxiety to seizures and even death. Tolerance develops when the drug is taken over time, meaning that higher doses must be used to achieve the same effect." ******************************************************

Guidelines for the rational use of benzodiazepines. When and what to use, Biopsychiatry.com:"The main actions of benzodiazepines (hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, myorelaxant and amnesic) confer a therapeutic value in a wide range of conditions. Rational use requires consideration of the large differences in potency and elimination rates between different benzodiazepines, as well as the requirements of individual patients. As hypnotics, benzodiazepines are mainly indicated for transient or short term insomnia, for which prescriptions should if possible be limited to a few days, occasional or intermittent use, or courses not exceeding 2 weeks. Temazepam, loprazolam and lormetazepam, which have a medium duration of action are suitable. Diazepam is also effective in single or intermittent dosage. Potent, short-acting benzodiazepines such as triazolam appear to carry greater risks of adverse effects. As anxiolytics, benzodiazepines should generally be used in conjunction with other measures (psychological treatments, antidepressants, other drugs) although such measures have a slower onset of action." ******************************************************
Benzodiazepines, Coolnurse.com:"The benzodiazepine family of depressants are used therapeutically to produce sedation, induce sleep, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and to prevent seizures. In general, benzodiazepines act as hypnotics in high doses, and as sedatives in low doses. Of the drugs marketed in the United States that affect central nervous system function, benzodiazepines are among the most widely prescribed medications and, unfortunately, the most frequently abused." ******************************************************
Benzodiazepines, DEA Briefs & Background, Drugs and Drug Abuse, Drug Descriptions:"The benzodiazepine family of depressants is used therapeutically to produce sedation, induce sleep, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and to prevent seizures. In general, benzodiazepines act as hypnotics in high doses, anxiolytics in moderate doses, and sedatives in low doses. Of the drugs marketed in the United States that affect central nervous system function, benzodiazepines are among the most widely prescribed medications. Fifteen members of this group are presently marketed in the United States, and about 20 additional benzodiazepines are marketed in other countries. Benzodiazepines are controlled in Schedule IV of the CSA." ******************************************************

Benzodiazepines, MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine:"Benzodiazepines (ben-zoe-dye-AZ-e-peens) belong to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system).
Some benzodiazepines are used to relieve anxiety. However, benzodiazepines should not be used to relieve nervousness or tension caused by the stress of everyday life.
Some benzodiazepines are used to treat insomnia (trouble in sleeping). However, if used regularly (for example, every day) for insomnia, they usually are not effective for more than a few weeks." ******************************************************
Benzodiazepine Dependence Questionnaire (BDEPQ):"Instructions: In the questions that follow you will be asked about your experience using medications known as sleeping pills, sedatives, hypnotics, `benzos' or minor tranquillisers. These medications are also known by their trade names of `Valium', `Serepax', `Mogadon', `Normison', and `Rohypnol' to list a few. All of these will be called sedatives, tranquillisers or sleeping pills in the questions. When answering the questions please think about your experiences over the last month. Place a mark in the box below the response that best suits your experience in the last month."
