I have had sleep issues for over 40 years. Started self treating at young age with melatonin AS I aged the issue just got worse. Did and failed a sleep study. Was up all night. Came back for repeat sleep study after taking Ambien. Was able to sleep. Problem with ambien was well known and documented side effects. Almost cost me my marriage. Tried the other class of drugs and the only thing that has worked consistently with no side effects is Halcion and the generic Triazolam. It has given me a better quality of life.

I developed stress-related insomnia in college and this is the only drug that would work for me. I tried everything else - ambien, lunestra, and they left me drowsy but not asleep. Halcion is fantastic - I get to sleep and have no hangover effects in the morning. The only problem is that doctor's don't like to prescribe it.

I have had chronic insomnia for about 10 years and have found Halcion 0.5mg h.s. at bedtime to be the most effective drug for my insomnia. It is, in my opinion, a "second-line" option, and I think all other medications should fail you before this is given, The most formidable problem is actually getting a doctor who is willing to prescribe this drug.

You need to have a long standing relationship with your doctor/psychiatrist before (in my opinion...and mu opinion only) that they will prescribe this for you
