In reply to temazepam and iother benzodiazepines, posted by Paul on December 28, 1998, at 9:17:09
> It is my understanding that benzodiazepines differ from one another primarily in their half-lives and time in which they take effect. Are drugs such as temazepam, which is indicated for the treatment of insomnia (and not anxiety), indicated as such because of their relatively SHORT duration (which obviously makes them a good choice because they wear off by morning), or are there other specific effects, apart from duration of action, which are more sedating and hypnotic as opposed to anxiolytic? In other words, can temazepam be taken for anxiety?
Sorry for the typos...
