Triazolam (Halcion, Trycam)

<p>From: Reviving the Broken Marionette: Treatments for CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia

Triazolam has a very short duration of action. In the treatment of CFS/ME and fibromyalgia it is mostly used to induce sleep if there are no nocturnal awakenings, or in combination with other medications. It can, however, cause withdrawal symptoms after just one dose and as a result may provoke early–morning insomnia.

Triazolam may be more likely to cause amnesia, confusion and some other neuropsychiatric symptoms than other benzodiazepines. It can also cause visual disturbances. Concomitant use with the azole antifungals is not recommended.

Triazolam is available in the United States, Canada, Australia and some other countries, but not in the United Kingdom. It is very inexpensive.</p>
