    Depressant Benzodiazepine

    Summary TheDrug.Wiki Erowid TripSit

    Triazolam is an extremely potent, ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine prescribed for short-term treatment of insomnia (7-10 days maximum). It was withdrawn from the UK market due to high incidence of psychiatric adverse reactions including amnesia, confusion, paradoxical agitation, and hallucinations. Risk of complex sleep behaviors (sleep-driving, sleep-eating) and severe anterograde amnesia is higher than most benzodiazepines.
