Hey 2 wheeler? I appreciate your advise and support to taper off the Halcion.. That's where I'm at right now and My family doc supports this.
Thanks, desertgal1

Thanks hotfoot, what a very informative and eye opener web page!!
Halcion is rarely prescibed anymore and I want off it, because it is a benzodiazipine. I've struggled since I was a child with sleep issues and in my adult years with crazy shift work hours. I'm on a sick LOA from work right now (for 6 months) and I hope to return to work within a year, after addressing pain and mobility issues through an occupational rehab program, hopefully through my LTD insurance application (still waiting to be accepted or not). In the meantime, I'm discovering an inner strength I didn't know I had to live one day at a time. desertgal1
