title: Daytime consumption of triazolam.
abstract: Six cases of daytime use of triazolam are reported. In all cases, daytime anxiety following the night-time use of this short-acting, high-potency hypnotic benzodiazepine led to the use of the drug during the day. Tolerance to the hypnotic and anxiolytic effects of the drug developed, as shown by a significant escalation of both the bedtime and daytime doses.
