Brief Answer:
No, It is not advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

I do not think you supposed to take 30 mg of restoril as it is too high and there is more probability of side effects than the effect. Among the elderly I start with 7.5 mg and target 15 for people above 70 years of age.

In case there is persistent problem with 15 mg I think there is need to explore other options rather than increasing dose.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
