Ok....Temazpeam can be used during the day, the only thing you need to be aware of it is that it has hynpotic properties and can be a potentailly dangerous med when driving or anything that requires alert attention. I used to use it when I had no Klonopin left. about 30mg will do it for anxiety but you have to know that it only lasts about 2-3 hours and it will wear off and you will have a rebound effect with anxiety.
You need to talk to your doctor to prescibe some non narcotic medications such as nuerontin gabatril, hydroxiyze [visteril] that you can refill faster than Controlled substances and you can take them more often. Have you considered Tranxene? it lasts for a very long time in the body and it will not wear off fast like xanax and temazpam do. It IS a controlled substnace too but it may do you some good. I have no idea of your history so I may not be the best to advise you. But i surely hope you the best.
