Quick Summary

Triazolam is a benzodiazepine drug used to treat anxiety and insomnia. Like other benzodiazepines, it enhances the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which reduces nerve activity and promotes calmness and sleep. It is often prescribed for short-term use due to the potential for tolerance and dependence. Side effects can include drowsiness, dizziness, and impaired coordination.1234
