Triazolam

Triazolam (Halcion) is a prescription sleeping pill used for short-term treatment of insomnia. It is a member of the benzodiazepine class of drugs, many of which are used as tranquilizers. They are the oldest class of sleep medications that are still commonly in use. Triazolam, and Benzodiazepines as a group, are considered to have a higher risk of dependency than other insomnia sedative hypnotics such as Non-Benzodiazepines (Ambien CR and Lunesta). Both are classified as controlled substances, although recent versions of the drugs have attempted to lessen the side-effects. Triazolam is now less prescribed than other prescription sleep aids such as Ambien CR and Lunesta.

Common side-effects of Triazolam (Halcion) include: dizziness, drowsiness, lack of muscle coordination, and light-headedness. When taking this product, medical supervision is essential and should only be taken as a last resort. The warnings on this entire class of drugs are strong so you should consider that carefully.
