Reply #134: Years ago, I was prescribed Halcion for depression.

[TahitiNut]

Even though I had an undiagnosed history of (relatively mild) PTSD, and the depression was situational, the shrink prescribed Halcion. Well, I experienced what many reported: exaggerated anxiety, a feeling of near-psychosis, detachment, a mental fugue state, the whole ball of wax. In a nutshell, I thought I was looking into the abyss - about to go stark raving mad.

There's no way in hell I could've avoided being shot dead - justifiably, by the lights of many DUers. I can only assume the people saying this are so lacking in maturity and life experience that they cling to any superficial semblance of an opinion that accommodates a comfort with law enforcement types -- i.e. emotionally adolescent certitude. (God help their kids!!)
