Has anyone taken this? I was on Vistaril for sleeping issues, but it wasn't working.
I am wondering if there are any side effects that I might want to be aware of?
I looked them up, but there are so many different ones that I thought I would come here and see if anyone has experience.

Thanks,
BJ

Uh oh, Halcion - knocks you out almost immediately. Around here they only use that in hospitals.

Hope you don't need it every night - addictive stuff. Triazolam

I've been on it a couple days and it gets me a few hours only, then paradoxically leaves me exhausted all day, then wired at night when I try to sleep. But I have strange brain chemistry.

I'm allowed to take it every night and have never been addicted. My dosage is simply too low. I haven't even had rebound insomnia with it like I did with Ambien (which is seen as less addictive). Halcion is my sleep med of choice since I go allergic to Ambien. But I usually just take the lowest dosage, sometimes twice that. I do notice some vague memory issues with it though, I understand all people don't have this, but my recall the next day might be a little iffy, like I actually actively need to go get my memories, they don't just come to me. Is a weird feeling.
