"since the beginning of this year (2015) i have been experiencing bouts of insomnia at an increasing rate. first just a night or two once a month to a week or so once a month. my doc prescribed temazepam 30 mg at bedtime. i took it and it worked like a charm but when i wouldn&#039;t take it i&#039;d be back to insomnia all night long. after a month of taking it every night i began sleep walking. i would get out of bed and go to various rooms in the house and sometimes wake up and be confused. i tried to quit it but i was a total wreck that day, high anxiety, heavy pulse, elevated blood pressure almost like a panic attack. it&#039;s a controlled substance. i am off it now. nasty stuff it forces you to sleep. i am going to try elavil and see how that works."
