In reply to Temazepam (Restoril): 2 or 3 d/wk = no tolerance?, posted by myco on February 18, 2009, at 15:50:06
ok...I found a few papers that suggest no tolerance can be shown for temazepam (restoril) over at least a 3 month period of chronic use...even one study suggests an inverse tolerance...the med actually becomes more effective over time with chronic use. Interesting considering benzo's are most notable for tolerance issues with chronic use. So perhaps this may be a potentially more acceptable and less "harmful" benzo in the eyes of a socially conservative gp. Albeit addiction/withdrawal issues still exist with temazepam.
