How should I take Halcion?

Follow the directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Halcion may be habit-forming. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it. Selling or giving away this medicine is against the law.

Take Halcion on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours after eating.

Take this medicine only when you are getting ready for several hours of sleep. You may fall asleep very quickly after taking the medicine.

Avoid using Halcion to prevent jet lag while traveling by airplane.

Call your doctor if your insomnia does not improve after taking Halcion for 7 to 10 nights, or if you have any mood or behavior changes. Insomnia can be a symptom of depression, mental illness, or certain medical conditions.

Do not take Halcion for longer than 10 nights in a row, unless your doctor has told you to. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using this medicine.

Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Halcion is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Since Halcion is taken as needed, you are not likely to be on a dosing schedule. Take Halcion only when you have time for several hours of sleep.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call 115. An overdose of triazolam can be fatal, especially if taken with alcohol.

Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, confusion, slurred speech, weak or shallow breathing, fainting, or coma.

What should I avoid while taking Halcion?

Avoid drinking alcohol. Dangerous side effects could occur.
