zolpidem(Ambien) 10mg vs triazolam(Halcion) 0.25mg?
They're both hypnotics with a short, two hour half life. The regular dosage of either of these is equivalent to 5mg diazepam.
10mg zolpidem (sold as Ambien in the US) = 5mg diazepam equiv.
0.25mg triazolam (sold as Halcion in many countries) = 5mg diazepam equiv.
Triazolam is a benzodiazepine
Zolpidem is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist a.k.a. "Z drug"
So given the aforementioned dosage, could someone compare and contrast the effect of these two?
SWIM is particularly interested in effects that is applicable when used for treatment of sleep disorders, not recreational value.
