What is triazolam and how does it work?

Triazolam is a benzodiazepine (a sedative-hypnotic) and is the generic form of the brand-name drug Halcion. It is FDA-approved for the short-term treatment of insomnia, generally for about 7 to 10 days, in people who have trouble falling asleep, wake frequently during the night, and/or wake too early in the morning. Like other benzodiazepines, it works by calming activity in the brain and nervous system to help you fall asleep.

Triazolam is not meant for long-term use. It is a short-acting sleep medicine, so it is typically taken right at bedtime when you are able to devote a full night to sleep. This page is for general information and is not medical advice; talk with your prescriber or pharmacist about whether triazolam is right for you.

Triazolam cost and how to save without insurance

Triazolam is a generic medication, so it is generally one of the more affordable prescription sleep aids to fill with cash pay. There is no manufacturer copay or savings card for generic triazolam. But "generic" does not mean the same price everywhere: the cash price for the exact same tablet strength and quantity can differ substantially between two pharmacies in the same town, which is exactly why comparing before you fill matters.

Rx.com compares triazolam prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies and gives you a free discount coupon you can use instead of insurance (or when your plan does not cover it). Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you and print, text, or show the coupon at the counter. The brand Halcion is also available if your prescriber specifies it, though the generic is typically the lower-cost option.

Triazolam vs. other sleep and benzodiazepine options

Triazolam is one of several benzodiazepines used for insomnia. If you are comparing options, related medicines you can price on Rx.com include:

• Temazepam (Restoril) — a benzodiazepine commonly used for insomnia.
• Estazolam — another benzodiazepine approved for short-term treatment of insomnia.
• Zolpidem (Ambien) — a non-benzodiazepine "Z-drug" sleep aid.
• Alprazolam (Xanax) — a benzodiazepine, but approved for anxiety and panic disorder, not insomnia.

Only your prescriber can decide which is appropriate for you. Whichever one you are prescribed, you can compare its cash price on Rx.com before you fill.

Important safety information

Triazolam carries an FDA boxed warning covering the risks of taking benzodiazepines together with opioids (which can cause profound sedation, slowed breathing, coma, and death); the risks of abuse, misuse, and addiction that can lead to overdose or death; and the risk of physical dependence and potentially life-threatening withdrawal if the drug is stopped suddenly. As a Schedule IV controlled substance, it should be taken exactly as prescribed. Triazolam can also cause complex sleep behaviors such as sleep-driving or sleep-walking, and short-term memory loss (anterograde amnesia).

Triazolam is contraindicated during pregnancy and with strong CYP3A inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, and nefazodone, which can raise triazolam levels dangerously. It causes central nervous system depression and next-day drowsiness, so avoid alcohol and use extra caution if you are older (risk of falls) or have breathing problems. This is a summary, not a complete list of risks; review the FDA label with your prescriber or pharmacist and tell them about all other medicines you take.
