I have moved the information about Triazolam being banned in the UK to the History section from the Pregnancy section where it had ended up by mistake. The fact that, after reviewing the available evidence, the Committee on the Safety of Medicines concluded that it should be withdrawn from the market is important to note here - even though the FDA has not come to the same decision.Pound 18:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, still a hazy issue. Good job until further examination or classification...if any. Jmlk17 05:43, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If there even can be any found. Jmlk 17 21:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed two sections that are unreferenced and appear to be extremely partisan:

"In the past, triazolam was commonly prescribed to individuals who frequently changed time zones, such as business people and politicians travelling overseas. However, this practice has been discouraged, because these individuals would on occasion wake up with total amnesia and have no knowledge of where they were, or why they were there. In rare cases, paranoia would ensue.

The safety of triazolam is questionable, because it has a fairly narrow therapeutic window. Also, evidence suggests long-term use (beyond 14 days) can cause hallucinations, amnesia, paranoia and aggressive behaviors.‹The template Talkfact is being considered for merging.› ^{[citation needed]} Also, like most other short acting benzodiazepines, it has a high potential for misuse, abuse and development of dependence."

Other than that, I've expanded the article a bit with DrugBank information.

Good edit...I take Halcion/Triazolam on an as-needed basis, and have yet to experience any side effects other than slight memory issues the next day of the previous evening. Oh well, good work. Jmlk17 09:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the fact tag from the combining of medications section. All meds should warrant extra care when being used together, it would be common sense, beyond fact. Also, added the label to the amnesia area due to it being a slightly odd, yet still believable idea. Jmlk17 07:37, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Under the section entitled "Side Effects," the last sentence reads, "A meta-analysis demonstrated that residual 'hangover' effects after nighttime administration of triazolam such as sleepiness, impaired psychomotor and cognitive hip fractures." Something is missing; impaired psychomotor what? Cognitive hip fractures? Hmmm... Dfruzzetti (talk) 02:26, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just feel the need to concur about the "cognitive hip fractures"... Atherva (talk) 08:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The history section is now missing 90% of it's citations, if this is not corrected it must be removed as the accuracy of the information seems quite suspect. --75.17.193.253 (talk) 17:59, 14 October 2011 (UTC) Dr. S[reply]

This entire Wiki is lacking the proper method of use of citation! If proper use of citation/reference is not used within lets say 4 weeks, or a discussion about correcting it is not made it will be recommended for removal.--75.17.207.229 (talk) 06:23, 28 November 2011 (UTC) Dr. S.[reply]

Excessive Reliance on Primary Sources

Much of the safety data in particular in this article is taken from relatively low quality sources such as letters to the editor of medical journals. Such letters are not peer reviewed and in many cases consist of little more than statements of opinion. The FDA and the Institute of Medicine both conducted systematic reviews of these issues, reaching much less extreme conclusions than those presented in this article. The Institute of Medicine review, which is the most comprehensive available, is not even mentioned in the article at this point.

Much of this material needs to be re-written to incorporate these higher quality sources, and to provide a POV that more closely follows the consensus view of experts within these documents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfred Bertheim (talk • contribs) 13:31, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Halcion scandal

No mention of the Halcion scandal? 2601:152:300:4C7:70D9:BCD5:820F:26CE (talk) 20:01, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MY FEELINGS ABOUT DAMHER

I don't know why people keep talking about Dahmer but it's getting ridiculous this man killed all those men and teens because he couldn't control is damn compassion to dominating and controlling. And what's even worse is that people at my school think it's a joke and are not sensitive of what they say. for instance, that boy got on Jeffery Damhers glasses. I nobody will say anything I will this nonsense has to stop because out of all things that sick man has done this one thing got to me, the newspaper said that while Dahmer was eating his victims, they said that he said while eating then victims I felt a connection. 71.209.73.100 (talk) 19:01, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
