SIDE EFFECTS

Common Side Effects

All medicines have side effects. The most common side effects of benzodiazepine sleeping medicines include:

• drowsiness


• dizziness


• lightheadedness


• difficulty with coordination

You may find that these medicines make you sleepy during the day. How drowsy you feel depends upon how your body reacts to the medicine, which benzodiazepine sleeping medicine you are taking, and how large a dose your doctor has prescribed. Day-time drowsiness is best avoided by taking the lowest dose possible that will still help you to sleep at night. Your doctor will work with you to find the dose of Restoril (temazepam) that is best for you.

To manage these side effects while you are taking this medicine:

• Use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness, such as driving a car, operating machinery, or piloting an aircraft. As with any medicines used to help people sleep better, you should be very careful when you first start taking Restoril (temazepam) until you know how the medicine will affect you.


• NEVER drink alcohol while you are being treated with Restoril (temazepam) or any benzodiazepine medicine. Alcohol can increase the side effects of Restoril (temazepam) or any other benzodiazepine medicine.


• Do not take any other medicines without asking your doctor first. This includes medicines you can buy without a prescription. Some medicines can cause drowsiness and are best avoided while taking Restoril (temazepam).


• Always take the exact dose of Restoril (temazepam) prescribed by your doctor. Never change your dose without talking to your doctor first.
