In reply to Intresting article about Xanax and Halcion..., posted by rjlockhart on February 23, 2007, at 1:56:13
Dr. Oswald reminded readers that ten years ago The Lancet published a letter from a Dutch psychiatrist, C. van der Kroef, who reported his experiences with 25 patients. [Halcion] Triazolam can produce the following symptoms: severe malaise; depersonalisation and derealisation; paranoid reactions; acute and chronic anxiety; continuous fear of going insane; depression and deterioration of existing depression; hyperaesthesia [heightened- sensitivityl, especially for sound but also for smell, taste and light; sometimes hypoaesthesia for the same stimuli; nightmares; restlessness; inability to concentrate; verbal and physical aggression; severe suicidal tendencies; hypnagogic hallucinations; impulse actions; amnaesia. . .." The drug was subsequently banned in Dr. van der Kroefs homeland, the Netherlands.
I know this is from 1989 but still its relevent. Thats why its not prescribed much any more.
Be careful.
