Halcion

Hey everyone - I'm a very troubled sleeper and have been for over 15 years. I've tried Lunesta (weight gain), Ambien (which worked, then stopped working), and now I'm on Olanzapine (serious weight gain and not working as well as when I started). I went to the hospital a few months ago for suicide watch and they gave me Halcion and it knocked me out. Anyone on here tried Halcion for sleep? I want something that will make me fall asleep and stay asleep, without the seemingly common side effect of weight gain. Let me know if you've tried it before and how it worked for you.

No never tried it. Been on all the others though. Currently weaning off Ambien as it gives headaches. Doing 5mg Ambien and gabapentin.
