> scott, did you take it for sleep or for anxiety control during the day ?
Hi Dan.I took Halcion with and without Ativan while I was on both Parnate and Nardil. I don't recall the dosage. It may have been 1.0mg total (two 0.5mg tablets).
I believe I experienced a sort of mild benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome early the next day. My guess is that this represented a rebound effect as the level of Halcion drops precipitously. I am wondering whether rebound anxiety can occur in individuals with an anxiety disorder when it is used to treat it acutely and temporarily. Halcion (triazolam) is perhaps the most potent of the benzodiazepines. It is also the one with the shortest half-life. The half-life is about 3 hours. It is metabolized primarily by CYP3A4.
