Default Restoril (temazepam)
Has anybody tried Restoril (temazepam) for insomnia? I’ve read all the online warnings that it is contraindicated in patients with MG as it is a hypnotic and can act as a muscle relaxant. I was hospitalized for a MG crisis 5 weeks ago (doing OK now), but I’ve not been able to sleep for more than 2-3 hours at night since coming home. I’ve tried all the good habits for sleep (no TV, tablet, caffeine, etc. before bed), Lunesta and Ambien. All will get me to sleep, but not keep me asleep. I’m trying to weigh the risks of taking the lowest dose (7.5mg) vs. a flair-up from lack of sleep. Thanks!

Jim
