In one year alone in the United States (1988), Halcion — the world’s most prescribed sleeping pill — contributed to a living nightmare for two tragic families, when a Utah woman lethally shot her mother, and a Michigan man fatally gunned down his estranged wife.During the ensuing legal cases, defense lawyers successfully argued that their clients’ use of Halcion had driven them to commit these horrific acts, which were totally out of character. Halcion is a strong benzodiazepine, and some people can develop an addiction to it in as little as a fortnight.This book explores how Halcion addicts can help themselves and how their loved ones can support them.
