Cloral Hydrate IS a very old drug. This was what they put in victims drinks in the bars and speakeasies to knock them out, the old Mickey Finn they called it.
Although withdrawl can be dangerous as far as dying from a seizure, you sound as if you are doing as well as expected. Just keep track of what you are doing and how you feel.
The psycological withdrawl is the hardest part really, just be aware of your mood swings, jumping muscles, and aches and pains. they are mostly psycological, being aware of this and realizing it will pass is half the key to success.
I would expect to be quite squirrely for a month or so.
This sleep med and benzos would have affected your sleep as far as REM and the like. You should expect very vivid dreams.good luck, med vacations are usually a good thing... there's no better way to see how you're really doing.
