I have to speak up here... Please be careful.
I was given chloral hydrate many years ago in the hospital.
It was an intensely unpleasant experience. I won't go into detail to sway you. But make sure you are not alone when you take it.
And it did not work for me at all when I was in the emergency situation I was in (GI obstruction). (back then there were no alternatives really, no Ambien etc.-- I ended up on the "new" Dalmane-- a benzo and that did work).
This is hardly used anymore.
