HALCION  (TRIAZOLAM):  This medication is used to treat a certain sleep problem (insomnia). It may help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and lessen how often you wake up during the night, so you can get a better night's rest. Triazolam belongs to a class of drugs called sedative-hypnotics. It acts on your brain to produce a calming effect. Use of this medication is usually limited to short treatment periods of 1 to 2 weeks or less. If your insomnia continues for a longer time, talk to your doctor to see if you need other treatment.   FDA Approval Date: 1982-11-15 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Insomnia Although the 25 mg Halcion had a relaxing effect I was wide awake for 4 hours and then decided to take another half tab. Slept fitfully at best. Next day I was so confused and sleepy that I could not drive safely and spent a good portion of the day in a drowsy state but unable to sleep. I have taken this medication some time ago and remember the lingering drowsiness. Both times I have been on SRI anti-depressants simultaneously. M 62 1 days

 5  Sleep Aid Perfect restful sleep. Rapid Took it off an on for 4 years to help adjust to rotating day/night work shifts. Extremely refreshing sleep with full alertness and energy upon awakening. Ambien does not get you to sleep as rapidly nor as well as Halcion and Ambien leaves you very groggy upon awakening by comparison. Too bad irresponsible patients made the med nearly impossible to get any more. F 43 4 years

 1  to control anxiety Psychosis. The psychiatrist, not knowing (or caring?) that I had been taking Haldol and Halcion, informed my parents that I was psychotic and should be institutionalized (?!). Thank God my Mom obtained both MRI and CAT scan results to prove those people wrong. There is a possibility that these drugs will worsen any kidney problems that you may have [or that you may not be aware of at the time :(]. Therefore, I strongly recommend to find out as much as you can about the medicine(s), and to have your physician test other medications before agreeing to take either Haldol or Halcion.
