Side Effects for Flurazepam hcl (flurazepam hydrochloride)
I felt tired most of the next day.
I was prescribed 30 mg as required at night 1/2 hour before bed. The pharmacy only has 15mg capsules in stock so he filled the prescription with twice as many pills and therefore I would take 2 when needed. This allowed me to experiment and try one 15 mg pill. When I took one 15 mg pill I never slept well and would lay awake from 3am until morning. With the 30 mg dose I sleep like a log, but feel tired all day long.
FLURAZEPAM HCL (FLURAZEPAM HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is used to treat a certain sleep problem (insomnia). It may help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and lessen how often you wake up during the night, so you can get a better night's rest. Flurazepam belongs to a class of drugs called sedative-hypnotics. It acts on your brain to produce a calming effect. Use of this medication is usually limited to treatment periods of 1 to 2 weeks or less. If your insomnia continues for a longer time, talk to your doctor to see if you need other treatment.

I was on this drug for 18 years. Never had any side effects until the last two years. I had tremors for 2-3 years and doctors weren't sure why. Finally, last year, my doctor and I deduced that it might be from Singulair. I decided to stop taking this medication after being on it for 18 years. Within a few days, my tremors subsided. I have been off Singulair for a year now and I haven't had any tremors ever since. It is very strange that after 18 years, I developed tremors from this medication.
Hives occurring in different areas of the body daily -- mostly arms, hands, wrists, inside of thighs, shoulders, chin, forehead. EXTREMELY itchy scalp and back of neck...I can't stop itching! I was paranoid I had picked up lice or something. The hives have lasted now for about 4 weeks.
I was diagnosed with Grey Matter Displacia also in April 2001. I started taking tegretol and carbotrol and they were horrible for me. I started taking lamictal after just a few weeks and experienced a great deal of short term memory loss, but that very well could have been the tegretol. Overall I am very pleased with the drug. As long as I take care of myself (get enough sleep and don't drink too much caffeine, and I never have drunk alcohol) I basically do fine. I take 150mg/2xd.
I exercise regularly and I'm about normal weight. I became impotent on the 7th day of taking 12.5 milligrams daily of this drug. I have now gone off it and I'm hoping the changes I've made to my diet will start to work, as I cannot afford expensive meds. I cannot live with impotence at 50 years of age.
