> Temapapam for fun? Does it make you high? Just puts me to sleep. And I take valium once a day at night for sleep too. Love Phillipa Nothing for recreationa fun. It's not a part of my generation Well at least no one I know of
Not that I am suggesting it at all, but yes, if you push through the sleepy part, as it has a short half life although longer metabolites persist, it has made me giggly before despite it being related to the Valium I take. But that is if one is temazepam naive I would say for most people -- repeated use would probably lower this effect. The next day though is a major depressive hangover not all that different from benadryl, at least in my once or twice try.
Anyhow, this isn't the place for recreational discussions though it'd be nice if psychiatric medicines were allowed to make you feel good. That's a strange comment, but if you "feel good" as in really good, its automatically assumed by psychiatrists and doctors that one is abusing something or is getting a high. The only three, four medications that I could say made me "feel good" were Soma (back/scalp spasms), temazepam, Percocet (for wisdom teeth surgery), and Ambien (once only -- it sucked me into this vortex that literally almost said, its okay, go sleep. Never again had that experience. I sometimes think that the "feel good" transmitters only operate once or after a long period of disuse)
As for myself, I've taken large dose diazepam (Valium) for an extended period of time with some slight escalation of dosage but I don't believe the escalation is because I crave more, but the illness shifts directions at times. Who knows, its hard to say.- J
