In reply to MY HALCION (TRIAZOLAM) REVIEW, posted by halcyondaze on January 30, 2007, at 12:23:33
> Last night I took 0.5 mg Halcion - this medication is like none I've ever taken; it's like Klonopin and Ambien had a love child and Halcion was the result.
>
> About 30 minutes after taking 0.5 mg, I felt a strange sense of total calm come over me. I say "strange" because typically I am extremely anxious before going to bed: Will I sleep? When will I get to sleep? How long before my sleeping meds work? So this is why I have always waited for the sleeping meds to kick in until I totally black out.
>
> So, instead of doing what I typically do (waiting until I pretty much black out from the medication), I laid in bed with the lights off and drifted off to sleep. I can't tell you the last time I "drifted" to sleep without being propelled into some kind of deep sleep (after eating the entire kitchen and not remembering until the next day what I'd done).
>
> Unfortunately, I was in a very light sleep and my sister came in and took her dog on a walk and began making all this noise in the kitchen, so I was awakened. Then I proceeded to eat a bunch of crap, but (unlike with Ambien and Sonata) I actually remembered doing it. It seems like I'll just have to take the medication when everyone goes to bed and there are no loud noises to wake me up.
>
> I woke up feeling refreshed, not groggy, which was another nice feeling.
>
> I'm planning on taking "drug holidays" on days that I don't necessarily have to be awake early and can therefore afford the groggy Seroquel/Sonata sleep I've become accustomed to. I know tolerance can develop very quickly with Halcion and I don't want to have that happen to me.
>
> Any other positive Halcion experiences to report?Never got the chance to get my hands on a Halcion, but I would imagine Halcion to be the love child of Xanax and Ambien. Now, that's hot.
