> Please help with any suggestions. I am withdrawing from Halcion. Eeeks. Over a period of months with my drs. guidance but would like to know if others have had problems with this drug and what can be done to 1) sleep without it, and 2) alleviate the distress related to withdrawing. I really just want some sleep. Thanks.
>I agree with Alan. I have had to stop taking Klonopin twice and it was the worst experience of my life. What I learned is that everybody needs to set their own pace for withdrawing from a medication. I tried to do it too quickly and felt like I was dying for a month. The best thing that happened to me was to slow down the process. And do backtrack if needed. So, it takes a little longer, but it saves all the discomfort and illness that withdrawing too quickly causes.
