What Causes Severe Fatigue While On Temazepam?

I have PNES,.my doctor prescribed temazepam to help me sleep. I only take once or twice in a week. I am very stressed band exhausted right now. The temazepam I have over a week. I became aphsiac earlier yesterday. I woke up in middle of night. I am excessively anxious, I even had mild panic attack. Can I still safely take a benadryl @25MG now ? I am afraid to overdose, but am exhausted after numerous days of stress. What can I do? Usual techniques are not helping. Can I take 25mg of benadryl now, after taking 30 mg of temazepam at 10pm last night. Need quick answer. Please help. I need help asap.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your all symptoms are due to Temazepam.
It is anti depressant drug with a lot of side effects.
You seems to have stress, anxiety and panic disorder
Temazepam won't help you. So better to stop it and consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs like propranolol and flunarizine combination.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Don't take benadryl as it is for cough, cold,not for stress.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
