> Sounds more like hydroxyzine - Atarax/Vistaril, a sedating antihistamine used to treat anxiety and a variety of other conditions. There is an obscure benzo called halazepam but it seems unlikely that would be the one he was talking about, and my guess is that it would be just as addictive as the others.
