General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Temazepam is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines.
Temazepam is used to treat insomnia symptoms, such as trouble falling or staying asleep.
Usual Adult Dose for Insomnia 15 mg orally before retiring. The dose range is 7.5 to 30 mg.
You have taken 500 mg which is dangerous and you have consult a doctor as early as possible.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, confusion, muscle weakness, slurred speech, tremors, a slow heartbeat, shallow breathing, feeling light-headed, fainting, seizure (black-out or convulsions), and coma.

I advice to consult a local doctor.

Regards
Dr Santosh
