"i was on halcion for almost 5 years until i built a tolerance and it stopped working.  since then i have tried numerous medications of various types and none have worked as well as halcion.  most have not even been close or didn&#039;t work at all.  with halcion, i fell asleep quickly and naturally, and stayed asleep at least 6 hours.  it was a restful sleep with no side effects like dreams or strange behavior.  i had no problems waking up or functioning the following day.  it&#039;s only now that i can&#039;t find a substitute that i really appreciate the benefits of halcion."
