I will offer a word of caution. Before I was diagnosed, I was having trouble sleeping.

I started taking ambien. I am completely convinced that it almost killed me. I went totally insane. I would find myself suddenly driving over 100 miles from home and have no idea why. Things progressed and if I told all the ways it almost killed me you would think that I am making it up.

I do not see any reason why temazepam would be any safer than ambien since they are similar drugs.

I do not recommend hypnotic sleep aids for people with MG.

There are other options. I have used benedryl without it killing me.

I have also just laid there and stared at the ceiling. Eventually I can get to sleep.

I have not tried it, but I have talked to a person with MG that has used medical marijuana to help him sleep.

I wonder if insomnia is common for people with MG.
