> Adam Lanza was on Temazepam - Restoril - during Sandy Hook shooting
He was on Temazepam aka Restoril aka Normison

[link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]


This benzodiazepine was developed by a military lab during the Vietnam era.

It was given to U.S. bomber pilots (B52) the week before they had a "job"; and the days after.

It literally made them wake up WITHOUT ANY EMPATHY whatsoever.

And the ability to just "forget" and be able to sleep right after bombing.


Some excerpts for clarification :


"Temazepam had the highest rate of drug intoxication, including overdose, among common benzodiazepines in cases with and without combination with alcohol in a 1985 study."


"Some studies have observed tolerance to temazepam after as little as one week's use."


"Chronic or excessive use of temazepam may cause drug tolerance, which can develop rapidly. This drug is therefore not recommended for long-term use. Most hypnotics lose their sleep-inducing properties after about 3 to 14 days. In use longer than 1–2 weeks, tolerance will frequently develop towards the ability of temazepam to maintain sleep, so that the drug loses effectiveness. A study in 11 young male subjects showed that significant tolerance occurs to temazepam's thermoregulatory effects and sleep inducing properties after 1 week of use of 30 mg temazepam."


"High risk groups include people with a history of drug abuse or dependence, emotionally unstable patients, people with severe personality disorders (such as Borderline Personality Disorder). If temazepam is indeed prescribed to
people in these groups, they should generally be monitored very closely for signs of abuse and development of dependence."


"Since March 2004 temazepam capsules have been withdrawn from the Australian market."


"In the Netherlands, formulations of temazepam containing less than 20 mg are included in List 2 of the Opium Law."


With other substances, it can take months or even years before becoming tolerant (dependent). With temazepam, just like heroin, you only need a few doses to get hooked. These are the withdrawal symptoms, after just a short period of use :

Yes, please provide a link stating as fact he was on this medication. You cannot just say something without proof around here and expect everyone to believe it.

Has something changed, did I miss it? I thought ADAM LANZA was pronounces dead the day before the shooting, so therefore he would have been on asphyxiation and riger mortis.

Temazepam is a benzodizapine drug and considered to be a minor tranquilizer. There is, however, a glitch in that "minor" thing. Basically, all the benzo drugs - Xanax, (Alprazolam) Ativan,(Lorazepam), Valium (Diazepam) Clonazepam (Klonopin) are based on the same molecule which is tweaked a little on the molecular level so as to make it more suitable for certain reasons. These drugs -- which are basically all close cousins of Valium -- are very addicting -- Xanax being the most addictive -- and withdrawal from these medication can be a very serious -- sometimes life threatening issue. I won't go on and on, but yes, these benzo drugs are safe when used as directed, but many people who are prescribed them for various anxiety or insomnia issues or muscle spasm issues, do not use them properly and doctors are quick to up the dosages for patients who develop a tolerance. Eventually a percentage of patients, especially those who take the shorter acting ones like Temazepam, get withdrawal symptoms in spite of the fact that they are taking their daily dose. All Benzos are interchangeable if the goal is to ward off withdrawal symptoms. In many cases, benzodiazepine addiction is much more difficult to overcome than heroin addiction and usually the patient has to be weaned off over a long course. Sometimes this weaning process can take years. That sounds extreme but it is true and in some cases a complete cessation of the drug is impossible for some patients. With that said, these drugs are not associated with murder or psychotic behavior. It's a case of which came first, the chicken or the egg? There is something wrong with the person and the doctor prescribes a benzo tranqullizer -- not always a great idea -- but they work. They are all very valuable drugs in all forms of medicine. Valium and Ativan are very important drugs in the arsenal of an ER. They work very well and have very specific actions that most often save lives. Perhaps an addicted person so desperate to get the drug will do something violent but as a rule, a violent "paradoxical" reaction is extremely rare. There was a case where a policeman shot and killed his patrol partner and used benzo rage as an excuse, but he was eventually convicted of murder.

temazepam is not an SSRI
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35016945

As other benzodiazepines, temazepam produces additive CNS depressant effects when co-administered with other medications which themselves produce CNS depression, such as barbiturates, alcohol, opiates, tricyclic antidepressants, non-selective MAO inhibitors, phenothiazines and other antipsychotics, skeletal muscle relaxants, antihistamines and anaesthetics.

You need to mix the Klon and cocaine to balance it out.

NOBODY said anything about benzo withdrawl
or bensos being in any way bad until
right after they mostly all went off
patent and became cheap via generics.

They made up the bad reputation
to move people onto expensive new
more complex drugs under patent.
