Hi E.R.
I apologize for not responding to your post earlier.
> how quickly does restoril kick in?
Maybe 30-45 minutes? My experience with Restoril is that it really didn't kick hard enough. It is a great drug for sleep maintenance, but not so much for sleep initiation. Ativan is better. If you are able to fall asleep on your own, then Restoril might be the better choice as I don't think its effects persist into the next day like they do with Ativan.
