Dose - Temazepam Dosages

[spatchcock86]

SWIM recently tried Temazepam at a 40mg dose on the 26th of July.
This was his 1st time using it, so he didn't want to over do it.
SWIM felt very relaxed with some mild euphoria, and slept like a baby.
yesterday/today, SWIM once again took 40mg of Temazepam, but this time didn't get any euphoria, only sedation and relaxation.
This individual, of which identity remains a mystery to me, would like to know how much he can take safely to achieve greater effects, without completely blacking out and ruining the whole experience.

Thanks in advance.

You pose a very difficult question to answer with any certainty as everybody reacts differently to different doses. 40mg is a good amount of temazepam to take. Consuming more than that will just raise tolerance and/or knock you out quicker.

The best thing to do is stick with 40mg since you like the effects it gives, but space it out like every other day or however long it takes to achieve the desirable effects. This will keep your tolerance at a minimum, and it will also save you temazepam.

swim came across some Temazeapam in his hay day of benzo tolerance and cocaine abuse. He sadly did not have enough to get the affects he desired and totally discarded the benzo as worthless.

Let swim know how this goes. Also report back with your tolerance and dose taken.

K, thanks. SWIM wonders why it wasn't as effective the 2nd time round. A seven day gap in between dosing should have been more than enough time for tolerance to drop back down to zero. I guess it must be like MDMA in that respect. You can never top your first roll.

SWIM plans to take a 60mg dose tonight. He'll let you know if this produces any additional euphoria.

SWIM said the extra 20mgs made a BIG difference. Noticeably more sedation/relaxation, and a strong feeling of well being during the first hour, followed by tranquil feelings until SWIM went to bed. Breathing was quite shallow though, so he won't be exceeding this dose anytime soon...

Swim was prescribed restoril 30s and 120 mg of it used to barely do shit to him. Damn tolerance.

SWIM agrees with Fizzle. The only real way to know is just by playing with it himself. SWIY should just take it easy and slowly increase as he needs to. SWIM was prescribed Temazepam 30mg capsules and the directions said take 1 to 2 capsules before bed. So he was allowed by prescripyion to take 60mg's if he needed to. However the lady at the pharmacy said that was rather uncommon and 30 mg's was actually the maximum recommended dosage. But the fact that the doctor allowed him 60 mg's made him think it was relatively safe. He has a very high tolerance for benzo's though and a lot of times he would take up to 180 mg's and had no problems. Again though everyone reacts differently. A good dose for SWIM though was 90 mg's.

Most Benzo's have a high LD50 and are relatively safe so long as they are not combined with alcohol or other CNS depressents. The biggest dangers really is when one gets into blackout territory and starts doing stupid shit that could be potentially dangerous.

Again one should just take it slow and figure out what is right for them.

Sorry SWIM cannot offer you a more precise answer but he hopes this helps.

60mg temazepam is a bit on the high side for a dr. to prescribe. The thing about temazepam that is a little different than all of the other benzos SWIM's marmoset has taken is that it produces much stronger euphoria than one typically would expect from a benzo. However, that being said... tolerance to temazepam seems to develop faster than any other benzo SWIM's marmoset has experience with. After 2-3 days the effects are drastically reduced, and any euphoria is gone. The sedating effects last a little longer, but not much. Temazepam is one of those benzos that will do wonders for your occasional benzo user, but leave your daily, benzo-dependent person feeling little. Of clonazepam, alprazolam, diazepam, temazepam, chlordiazepoxide... Temazepam is the only one SWIM specifically makes it a point to use as sparingly as possible to retain the effectiveness of the medication.

Hey, SWIM just had his first proper dose with Temazepam. SWIM got his hands on 25/10 mg and has had 80 mg. Swim lives in Melbourne, and it's marketed under the brand name Normison

Swim's had a little bit of experience with benzo's so SWIM was confident about the dose. Thanks heaps to this thread!!!

Well it's been an hour since, and right now SWIM's having a glass of red... and there are some nice subtle effects going on there. Much more satisfying the lets say 250mg of codeine... and opiates are my drug of choice, but thats not saying much about either codeine or tamazepam... lets see what a joint will do for this...

oh and by the way this is mt first post so SWIM aint sure if he's done anything wrong... i did read the rules... briefly

Kitty's doc writes her temzies as 30mg at bedtime may repeat ONE time only in one hour if needed, PRN.

People build tolerance to temazies ridiculously fast. SWIM's kitty can only take them once a week or so if she wants recreational-type fun with them.

She has an absurd tolerance to temazies however and can take #10, 30mg tabs over a few hours if the mood strikes. She would NOT recommend fooling with these doses unless one has been one them a long time and are intimately familiar with every aspect of their pharmacology and personal reaction to them.

SWIMs kitty won't take them more than once weekly, preferably bi-weekly if for recreation purposes. In the meantime, she alternates with other benzos, alprazolam, lorazepam, midazolam and uses THC for inducing-sleep instead.

The way to keep temazies fun is by not using them daily. But once a week or once bi-weekly tops.

Swim finds that 30mg gets him going a little bit, but 60mg gets him feeling completely wacked out. Swim has a hard time concentrating on things, and just fuctioning in general.....swim likes other benzo better for sure. Swim prefers Klonipin(clonazepam)!

as always, very best wishes to all!

SWIM has been prescribed 60mg Temazepam (2x30mg) to be taken at night for sleep, every night, for the past 2ish years. For the first year or so, they were taken religiously; always the same dose at the same time of night, every night. They also lost their effect very quickly, probably within a month SWIM might as well have not been taking anything, although rebound insomnia was awful if he DID try to skip a dose.
SWIM has also, for the past 10 months, been prescribed 60mg Flurazepam (2x30mg) every night to be taken along with the Temazepam, and while he has been sleeping better, he hasn't experienced any kind of benzo-induced euphoria in a long, long time. It should be noted that SWIM also takes 3mg Clonazepam (3x1mg) during the day (2mg AM 1mg Noon), 20mg Desoxyn (4x5mg in 2x10mg doses) and 300mg Pregabalin (Lyrica) every day.
SWIM knows that he takes a lot of benzos, all of which are prescribed by the same doctor and SWIM does not use them recreationally, as he doesn't want to lose what little effect they still have.

Temazepam was, for SWIM, the most euphoric benzo behind Flunitrazepam and Triazolam, but that euphoria is gone. If you truly want to continue to enjoy the drug, take it as sparingly as possible.

60mg is a good dose if you have familiarity with benzos, but not a big tolerance. SWIM find it to be, IMO, equivalent to approximately 30-40mg Diazepam, 1.5-2.5mg Alprazolam, or 4-5mg Lorazepam. These numbers are not from an equivalency chart, but rather SWIM's own personal experience.

SMIM's 80 mg dose he had the had the other week was quite nice in the end. would like to go higher, maybe 120mg. i have a slight to moderate tolerance imo
