Just took my first Halcion. I&#8217;m told this should be a fun trip. The Valium from last night is wearing off. I&#8217;ve been told to fast so I&#8217;m psychologically very hungry.<\/p>\n<p>The appointment is dental work. Today is simply impressions to decide if I&#8217;m going to require a dental implant or worse a denture. Normally impressions are a simple process but due to a horribly overactive gag reflex they have to knock me out.<\/p>\n<p>Theoretically the Halcion will seriously impair me. I&#8217;ve never done &#8220;oral sedation&#8221; to this degree before. I was given Valium a decade or so back for LASIK.<\/p>\n<p>20 minutes in, I&#8217;m not really feeling the Halcion at all. I&#8217;ll keep people posted. I&#8217;m curious to try to observe the effects. If it doesn&#8217;t take me down too hard, I hope to have my next Armchair Director post up before tonight&#8217;s episode.<\/p>\n<p>More later!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div
