Hi Bizi and Beth and all,
I decided to taper as the temazepam was not working as well as it used to and this month my supplies were running very low (fang appointments etc). I also have diazepam prescribed.
The taper is going well at the moment. I took 5mg diazepam last night ... and also 2 piriton which are also prescribed for allergies.
The prescribed dose was (/is) higher than this, 30mg temazepam at night or 3 x 5mg diazepam.
I have also heard of providers abruptly stopping other peoples’ benzos. I’m sorry a provider did that to you Bizi

That probably factored into my decision to taper without their input.
I’ve been sleeping ok.
