Just curious if anyone has ever taken Halcion to help sleep. It has helped me a great deal through the WD process and now I am on day 9 and still cant sleep at night very well. I tried to use benedryl last night because I am well aware that Halcion is a BENZO and that is bad. Not really though, I have never liked that feeling. Opiates are my DOC. I just want to sleep. I fell asleep with the benedryl, but I woke up at 1:00 with some sweats and anxiety that I really didnt expect this far in. Let me know what you guys think. I only have a few left and cant get any more, so it will be a null issue soon.

D -- no, I've never taken it and don't know anything about it, but boy, can I sympathize. I am stuck on Ambien every night. It doesn't even give me the nice pleasant buzz that it used to, but I can't sleep without it now and I'm on the 12.5 sustained-release stuff. I'm not going to attempt to deal with it until I'm off the Oxy.

Do you think the sweats last night were due to the lack of Halcion? Should that maybe be a taper as well? Just some thoughts. It does seem odd that you would suddenly have WD symptoms when you're off the stuff (Oxy) over a week.

Sorry to not be of much help here.....
