I think a lot of people don't really know the difference between benzos and Z- drugs, so we don't really know what the prescription was for. Also, many countries have decided that the research hasn't shown any reason to prefer Z- drugs like zopiclone over benzos for short-term use.
I took one, one night when I felt particularly hopeless. But I might just do the rest every night in a row to do that reset. In my mind I don’t want to “waste” them as it feels somehow safe to have them in my drawer just in case. It’s Temazepam btw.
Yes but before reaching for benzos maybe try something milder like zopiclone?
