Side effects of temazepam
Dizziness or difficulty with coordination is the most common side effect of temazepam. If any of these effects continue or exacerbate, you should report to a doctor or pharmacist immediately. You can reduce the risk of dizziness or falling by getting up slowly when rising from a lying or sitting position.
Temazepam can make you feel sleepy during the day. You should tell your doctor if you feel daytime drowsiness. Because your dose might need adjustment. It is important to know that the prescriptions of a doctor will have more benefits than harm. Many people using this drug experience severe side effects.
Other common side effects of temazepam are:
- Headache
- Nausea [5]
- Nervousness
- Drowsiness
- Tiredness
If these effects are not severe, they could go away within a few days or a couple of weeks. If they persist for a long time, then you should talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
Some side effects of temazepam are life-threatening. It is important to call a doctor or 911 if your symptoms feel this way. Severe side effects include:
- Not completely conscious when doing things or with no memory of it happening such as eating, having sex, driving a car, sleepwalking, and talking.
- Abnormal thoughts and behavior. Symptoms include confusion, hallucinations, worsening depression, aggressive behaviors than normal, agitation, and suicidal thoughts or actions.

There have been cases of people getting out of bed to drive their cars while not fully awake. People have also sleepwalked, prepared or eaten food, made phone calls, or had sex while not fully awake. The risk of experiencing any of these increases if you use alcohol or other medications that can make you sleepy while taking temazepam.
It is very rare to experience allergic reactions, but you should see a doctor immediately if you notice any of these symptoms: rash, itching, or swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, and breathing difficulties.
