Triazolam

Generic name: Triazolam
Brand names: Halcion

Why is Triazolam prescribed?

Triazolam is used for short-term treatment of insomnia. It is a member of the benzodiazepine class of drugs, many of which are used as tranquilizers.

Most important fact about Triazolam

Sleep problems are usually temporary, requiring treatment for only a short time, usually 1 or 2 days and no more than 1 to 2 weeks. Insomnia that lasts longer than this may be a sign of another medical problem. If you find you need this medicine for more than 7 to 10 days, be sure to check with your doctor.

How should you take Triazolam?

Take Triazolam exactly as directed; never take more than your doctor has prescribed.

--If you miss a dose...

Take Triazolam only as needed.

--Storage instructions...

Keep Triazolam in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Triazolam.

  • More common side effects may include:
    Coordination problems, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, light-headedness, nausea/vomiting, nervousness

Why should Triazolam not be prescribed?

You should not take Triazolam if you are pregnant or if you have had an allergic reaction to it or to other benzodiazepine drugs such as Valium.

Also avoid Triazolam if you are taking the antifungal medications Nizoral or Sporanox, or the antidepressant Serzone.

Special warnings about Triazolam

When Triazolam is used every night for more than a few weeks, it loses its effectiveness to help you sleep. This is known as tolerance. Also, it can cause dependence, especially when it is used regularly for longer than a few weeks or at high doses.

Abrupt discontinuation of Triazolam should be avoided, since it has been associated with withdrawal symptoms (convulsions, cramps, tremor, vomiting, sweating, feeling ill, perceptual problems, and insomnia). A gradual dosage tapering schedule is usually recommended for patients taking more than the lowest dose of Triazolam for longer than a few weeks. The usual treatment period is 7 to 10 days.

If you develop unusual and disturbing thoughts or behavior--including increased anxiety or depression--during treatment with Triazolam, you should discuss them with your doctor immediately.

"Traveler"s amnesia" has been reported by patients who took Triazolam to induce sleep while traveling. To avoid this condition, do not take Triazolam on an overnight airplane flight of less than 7 to 8 hours.

You may suffer increased anxiety during the daytime while taking Triazolam.

When you first start taking Triazolam, until you know whether the medication will have any carry over effect the next day, use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness such as driving a car or operating machinery.

After discontinuing the drug, you may experience rebound insomnia for the first 2 nights--that is, insomnia may be worse than before you took the sleeping pill.

You should be aware that anterograde amnesia (forgetting events after an injury) has been associated with benzodiazepine drugs such as Triazolam.

You should be cautious about using Triazolam if you have liver or kidney problems, lung problems, or a tendency to temporarily stop breathing while you are asleep.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Triazolam
