I will go get my boyfriend's prescription at Walmart's. I feel up to driving my car now, which 2 hours ago I couldn't face. I may even put out that bird seed.

Temazepam can be very addictive, and I see that I really like it. If I overuse my supply and then run out, the withdrawal is lousy to go through. I am just so desperate to feel somewhat okay now. I doubt the doctors are going to approve of this.

I am better this evening thanks to temazepam. Maybe I'll even shower and wash my hair tonight. Then I would feel so much better.
Glad that you are feeling a little better taking this med. I would just caution you to be careful with how much you take. Benzos can be addicting which is why my pdoc does not like prescribing them for me. Also, benzos are known to worsen depression, It really is a catch 22 isn't it?
