	Halcion
		Halcion is used for short-term treatment of insomnia.
		When Halcion is used every night for more than a few weeks, it loses its effectiveness to help you sleep.
		Abrupt discontinuation of Halcion should be avoided, since it has been associated with withdrawal symptoms (convulsions, cramps, tremor, vomiting, sweating, feeling ill, perceptual problems, and insomnia).

		Halcion is has the great advantage of rapid onset and rapid resolution of action.
		One of the moms was a pediatric nurse, and she in particular was very pleased and impressed with the results, and might suggest this at the hospital for some kids who need but have difficulty co-operating with things like lumbar punctures and bpne marrows.
		You almost had a believer in me today, I was about to try the Halcion in a large 5 year old with a pyogenic granuloma-but instead, I sent him and mom out to lunch with EMLA applied as a big glop, by me. He absolutely felt nothing (lidoepi/scalpel/ed) one and one half hours later.

	[CTRL] BUSH ON HALCION?
		Halcion is the most terrifying drug I have ever used, and its effects are incalculably more frightening when they are at work on the President.
		But Halcion, a chemical first-cousin to the tranquilizer Xanax, is in a class by itself for mind- altering side effects.
		When Halcion hits you, it's as if an angel of the Lord appears in your bedroom and tells you that nothing is important, that everything you were worried about is happening on Mars and that nirvana, Lethe and the warm arms of mother are all waiting for you.

	Halcion: An Independent Assessment of Safety and Efficacy Data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		WASHINGTON -- The sleeping pill Halcion is safe and effective when used as recommended on the label approved by the Food and Drug Administration, according to a new report* from a committee of the Institute of Medicine (IOM).
		Halcion quickly became popular after it was approved by the FDA in 1982, largely because it was considered safer and was associated with less daytime residual grogginess than the alternatives.
		This discrepancy may have occurred because once Halcion was marketed to the general public and became popular, adverse events were more likely to be detected.

		Halcion, America's No. 1 bestselling insomnia drug, was recently banned in Great Britain and severely restricted in France.
		Although the details of the British decision remain secret, they are known to involve evidence that the manufacturer, Upjohn, withheld adverse reaction data from the FDA and its British counterpart, the Committee on Safety of Medicine.
		Holland ended up banning Halcion entirely until just recently, when it was reintroduced but only at doses of.25 mg and lower.

	Public Citizen \| Publications - Response to the Institute of Medicine's Report on Halcion. (HRG Publication #1431)
		The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, done in a hurried manner, is a waste of taxpayers dollars in that many of the questions it was asked/paid to answer by the Food and Drug Administation (FDA), had already been answered by the FDA before the committee's process had barely begun.
		Instead of waiting to respond to our 1992 petition to ban Halcion until the report was finished, just as the IOM investigation was beginning, the FDA issued a denial of our petition (August 19, 1997), concluding that the drug was safe and effective enough to stay on the market.
		Halcion is too dangerous to use and we advise anyone using it to ask their doctor to help them slowly withdraw from the drug--it is addicting--or switch to a safer sleeping pill.

		For several years, critics have charged that Halcion had a higher frequency of psychiatric side effects--including memory loss and depression--than other sleep-aid drags.
		In November 1991, at FDA's request, Halcion's manufacturer, the Upjohn Company, agreed to make changes in the way it marketed Halcion to ensure that both patients and doctors were aware of the appropriate dosage and possible side effects.
		* The labeling should emphasize adequately that Halcion should only be used in low doses for a short time and that, although the standard adult dose is 0.25 milligrams, elderly patients or those who weigh 100 pounds or less should take a reduced dose of O. 125 milligrams.
