My daughter and my dad both had to have tooth implants and halcion was prescribed for an hour before surgery in both cases. My dad was a little loopy and kinda funny afterwards. My daughter was sound asleep when we dragged her rear into the dentist's office, she slept through the whole thing, then started to wake up by the time we were almost home. Then she sat up on the couch the rest of the afternoon, watching soap operas and drinking malts, courtesy of her high school friends. Both experiences went well and I was pleased with the way the halcion did on both my daughter and my dad.
