Its not a common side effect....the common side effects are those associated with sedative drugs.
Temazepam Wars featured a part of Scotland associated with heroin, social deprivation and drinking culture....on top of that went temazepam abuse, great mix....you can find a link between any drug and violence if you google the two words....first result i found came up with this:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1435974.stm
....on that basis is it fair to say Cannabis use causes violence?
Actually the article is pretty good and explains that people involved in the illicit drug world are prone to violence irrespective of the drug they use because of the company they keep....a middle aged bloke on prescription temazepam doesnt really fit that criteria does it?
....and then you reach by suggesting that Zimmerman might have been withdrawing?....withdrawal from anything can cause people to act out, dont try and single temazepam out for that kind of behaviour.
If Zimmerman was prescribed the meds and taking them as directed then there is no reason to suggest the temazepam made him violent....ludicrous suggestion....and one that actually assists his defence you fucking plank....he could plead that the nasty temazepam made him do it, diminished responsibility or some such baloney....it wouldnt work because there isnt the literature out there to suggest that temazepam turns somebody into a violent murderer.
I'm unsure why you are trying to deny this, but Temazapam has been linked for a long time to crime and violence. Like I said anyone who works in the field or medical profession is well aware of the link and even advised not to prescribe them to anybody with even a a hint of violence in their history.
In Scotland among the 71% of suspected criminals testing positive for controlled drugs at the time of their arrest benzodiazepines (over 85% are temazepam cases) are detected more frequently than opiates.
The study
Temazepam Misuse, Violence and Disorder concluded there was a strong link between temazapam, violence and police arrests.
A Canadian study '
Demographic and substance use factors related to violent and accidental injuries: results from an emergency room study ' concluded that Patients reporting to two emergency rooms in Canada with violence-related injuries were most often found to be intoxicated with alcohol and were significantly more likely to test positive for benzodiazepines (most commonly temazepam) than other groups of individuals, whereas other drugs were found to be insignificant in relation to violent injuries
And an Australian Study
'Benzodiazepine and pharmaceutical opioid misuse and their relationship to crime' concluded that that benzodiazepine users are more likely to be violent, more likely to have been in contact with the police, and more likely to have been charged with criminal behavior than those using other drugs.
Benzodiazepine dependence has also been linked to shoplifting due to the fugue state induced by the chronic use of the drug
