General & Family Physician, Dr. Sunny Madar's Response

Hi,

Don't disrupt abruptly. Temazepam and all your 3 tablets are for sleep also. Once blood levels of these drugs and your response can be seen by your doctor. You may become tolerant. Join online 'Art of Living' course OMBW or happiness course. It shows effective and good results and gives deep sleep in drug tolerant cases. A psychiatrist's opinion is good.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
