In reply to Re: did you take it for sleep? - Rebound anxiety ?, posted by SLS on August 3, 2000, at 10:24:40
I know several people that took halcion as a sleep aid, not for anxiety.
some had episodes where they got out of bed & did things & had no memory of it the next day.
This has made me somewhat leery of it for daytime use, but then I do not know of anyone who has taken it during an acute panic attack.
I have also seen some folks who got it ( one time dose) for minor local surgical procedures & they had the memory loss of about 1/2 hr.
one lady swore she had never seen her Doctor & did not know who did her surgery. She was awake the whole time & talked to him for 30 min. The next day she did not remember the doctor being there at all.
I don't know about the rebound of anxiety. It does happen with xanax, so probably does with halcion as well.
