Halcion v Xanax???

[Harry@Piekarnia]

Opinions as too which is better. Not so much for recreational abuse (but that'll probably happen anyway!). More about the effects as a sleeping pill (occasional insomnia and/or paracute from coke/MDMA). Plus and minuses to both or either please.
Also: anybody recommend any other good sleeping pills to try. I've been using Xanax (2mg) twice a month of so for the last year and a half but notice I'm getting a tolerance so it might be time to investigate other options. Obviously ones that are easier to get might be better.

they're close chemical cousins but Xanax is definitely a better choice.
Shit I didn't even know Halcion was still being prescribed, but like Ambien it was praised as a short-acting sedative that eliminates quickly until people realized that it had more adverse effects than most benzos and barbs.
Imovane (zopiclone) is a good sleep aid for occasional use.

"Halcion + Coke= "zombie dust" body stays awake but your brain shuts off"
popular combo back in the day.

Most agree that Halcion is of little recreational value...but damn it works.
For legitimate medical reasons, go Halcion. That's it's main purpose
Even tweaked out of my mind, .25mg of Halcion will put me to sleep. For most it offers a small 'buzz'. (I'm the exception I guess)
As far as recreational, go Xanax. It hits quick, you can take more, and you can fight off the sleep a bit easier.
