Its crazy how well Temazepam works as a hypnotic, no tolerance build up (15 years of 20 mg a night) and I can just stop using it whenever but Its irritating like when I was a kid spending hours too fall asleep.
Its stage when people are put on such high doses of the potent ones, Temazepam’s flaw is it takes 30 mins about too start working and it help me read better with my dyslexia.
Also people seem too think like 1 beer will kill you on them when a study for sleep was Temazepam and a shot of whisky, like the misinformation on its dangerous is a weird one, people act like its not a safe compound because people could abuse it but like before benzos we were using birbirtuits so far safer now, super difficult too over dose on and the drug deaths from benzo related withdrawal always ends up being person who takes like 900mg alprazolam for 20 days then stop. Its always so extreme with the dosing and length of dosing.
