Temazepan Sleeping tablets?!

I am not a medical professional, but I have had many sleeping problems and have used sleeping pills prescribed by my doctor. The problem I see is that these pills are not for the cure of it, but only to make you drowsy. However, since you are recovering from the operation, you will use them temporarily and will not get addicted. Maybe you can brake the pill in two parts and take only 5 mg.

I wish you a speedy recovery. Bless you.

First off, congrats on it being benign!
Next, if the doc gave 'em to you, they should be safe for you to take in moderation. Obviously, don't take anything that the doctor hasn't prescribed to you, including alcohol, especially after such an operation.
Sleeping is the body's natural way of healing itself, so having many naps is not unusual after an operation or injury. If you are concerned with the dosage, you should take to your doctor or even the pharmacist where you you purchased them.

Only a medical professional should be giving you advise on alternate medications after surgery of any kind.

Hope this helped a bit. Good luck with the recovery...

Personal experience and research

I am sympathetic with your desire not to start on these very addictive tablets. If they are taken for a little as 3 nights in a row and then missed, withdrawal symptoms may occur. Unfortunately this is a feature of pretty much all sleeping pills. The problem is that they may ultimately make it more difficult for you to establish a normal sleep pattern. There is an argument for taking no night sedation and waiting for your normal pattern to return on its own.

Maybe tell us what strength the Temeazepam are ?
Are they 2, 5 or 10 mg

2 or 5 mg are considered a low end dose just to get you relaxed enough to fall asleep and stay sleeping , whereas 10mg are a good bit stronger
