If you're worried it's not working for you then either your doctor or your GP should be able to help. Also, if you're having problems sleeping the best therapy in my experience is relaxation techniques - wind down before you go to bed and chill out. Do some breathing exercises and get in a thoroughly tranquil state so you feel peaceful before you go to bed, hopefully this should help.

I'm not an expert though, I'd wait for bongbudda's reply..

valium is not a sleeper but a relaxent.
it is highly addictive as well in a far more damaging way than heroin so do be careful.

I have trouble sleeping too, but I wouldn't consider diazepam or temazepam as I was heavily addicted to both a few years ago. Better to lose sleep than start taking pills like that IMO. You build up a tolerance to them quite quickly and to take enough to make you sleep would end up needing more and more.

As far as I know, diazepam, temazepam and Valium are pretty much the same thing... Just different "brand" names...

no diazapem and valium are the same ... they are sedatives but temazepam are sleepers. thats what my doc said anyway. i'm only on them short term. i cant keep not sleeping as its affecting my appetite and im losing to much weight. vicious circle.

Not sleeping is affecting your appetite?

Yeah - that is a strange one... No idea what to suggest really, which ain't much help.

I assume that you are getting regular, decent exercise?
