So happy that you found a Pdoc that is a good fit ! that is HUGE. Hopefully your GP will get better about calling with lab results..

I took Halcion in my 20's for about 5 years. That med typically for most everyone is take it and 20-30 you will be asleep whether your ready or not. It is a Hypnotic type med so there is issues with getting up and doing all sorts of things and having no idea, I painted 2 rooms in my house one night no idea until I woke up and it was a different color. I also did lots of middle of the night cooking. So you need to be careful.

I took it again about 6 years ago. It does work. I never got a hangover feeling any time I have taken it.

I feel in short term use its fine at the lowest dose possible.
