Thank you for the many helpful and spirited replies! I'm quite aware of the addiction potential of benzos and I am being honest when I say (type?) that I'm taking the temazepam 30 mg 2 -3 nights per week. After I was initially prescribed the temazepam I took it more frequently (4 - 5 nights per week), read about the addiction potential, and lowered the frequency to 2 - 3 nights per week. I've tried the 7.5 mg dose and the 15 mg dose, but only the 30 mg dose provides the relief I need. It really does help me, whereas other sleeping medications sometimes help and sometimes don't. I'm certain that I'm not physically addicted to this medication as I've gone as long as 2 months without temazepam and had no withdrawal issues. Then something would happen that reminded me of why I was having trouble sleeping and I would use a temazepam 30 mg capsule again, providing the relief that I needed. Ideally I won't need the temazepam after moving to Thailand due to the much more laid-back culture and people, but again that's ideally. My Thai remains fluent and I have a multitude of Thai friends (I've never really known many farangs in Thailand) so I'm more interested in living in rural Thailand and getting on with life, putting the events of 10 years ago in the past. I haven't contacted my Thai friends about the possibility of obtaining temazepam in Thailand as they likely wouldn't know. Few people, Thai or farang, would be able to relate to my rather unique experience which led me to being prescribed the temazepam in the first place. My query was whether or not temazepam 30 mg would be possible to obtain in Thailand as I didn't need it when I had lived in Thailand previously. Sounds like it's not available at all, so I may have to rethink moving to Thailand permanently. Perhaps a few months in Thailand and a few months in my home country would be the best plan. Many thanks once again for all of the replies!
