Is Temazepam Reliable For Severe Insomnia?

I was given a prescription about a year ago for Temazepam to help with insomnia. I never took it (I was scared). I find myself going through another period of severe insomnia and I wondered if it is safe to take with daily Naproxen and weekly Methotrexate (15mg) that I take for Ankylosing Spondylitis. Also, will I get addicted if I take it a few times? Reading all sorts of scary stuff online about Temazepam. I just really want to sleep tonight!
