> If benzos are so effective for you as far as sleep im suprised your doctor hasnt tried halcion. Its incredibly cheap compared to the next generation sleep aids. I think i paid $4.50 without insurance for 30 of them.
I found Halcion great for knocking me out but because of it's extremely short half life (2hrs), I kept waking up during the night and would have to pop another. Sometimes up to 3-4 times a night. It's a great drug for people who have trouble falling asleep but for people like me who wake frequently, it wasn't a great option. If you have trouble falling asleep and don't wake easily, it's great, much better than temazepam even though temazepam has a longer half life than halcion. I don't know why that is for me. I need a longer acting hypnotic as I mentioned in an above post
