Yeah - I was freaking out a bit when I heard “malpractice” and “Halcion” in the same sentence and got rather a scary list of hits when I googled that… then I googled “Halcion Dental anxiety” and the hits are less frightening.
I think if I’d had the Dalmane in advance, it might have helped quite a bit. I slept for hours after I got home that time. The problem was, I was already nearly hysterical (the endodontist said he could give me that, if I could get someone to drive me home, and my hands were shaking so badly I couldn’t dial the phone) and that was too much for the happy juice to handle.
Psst - if a mod stumbles across this, it probably really shoulda gone to IMHO and I won’t mind if it’s moved, sorry!
If anyone does have any experiences to share I’d be interested in hearing how well it worked and, well, how messed-up one may get. I’m not much into mind-altering substances and I’m genuinely nervous that I may do something dumb! On the other hand, it’d be nice if my teeth didn’t hurt any more.
