I'm new here, but I've been reading this site regularly. I've been on Chloral Hydrate in the past for the horrible insomnia I get when severly depressed. It's common to see it's use in institutions because it's EXTREMELY cheap. Unfortunatly, it may be carcinogenic, particularly to the liver, and thus rarely used outside of institutions. It also can have a significant withdrwal syndrome if abruptly stopped after regular use. I would view it as a last ditch effort treatment for insomnia. I no longer use it, and, truthfully, wouldn't go back on it even if offered.
