Is It Safe To Stop Taking Temazepam 7.5mg. And Sertraline HCL 25mg?
My wife started taking 2 prescribed medications - temazepam 7.5mg. and Sertraline HCL 25mg.. She is having involuntary muscle contractions which is causing a jerking movement in the shoulders. This may happen a few times during the day. I think it is the temazepam. Can she safely stop taking this if she started only a week ago. Her doctor is not available
Hi Thanks for posting on HCM Temazepam is a benzodiazepine that may be used to treat insomnia symptoms, such as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Sertraline on the other hand is an antidepressantused to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder.... Temazepam may give you side effects including involontary movements.However, the used of this drug is not meant to be for long.You may interupt the drug even without hearing from your Doctor. I will advise you just continue with sertaline as prescribed. Hope this will help Wish your wife good health
