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fact that, after reviewing the available evidence, the Committee on the Safety of Medicines concluded that it should be withdrawn from the market is important to note here - even though the FDA has not come to the same decision.Pound 18:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

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

If there even can be any found. Jmlk17 21:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

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.^{[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)

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)
