I don't think Hacion (triazolam) makes one. It is more likely that it produce acute disinhibition, probably worse than alcohol in vulnerable individuals. It also produces anterograde amnesia, which dentists like to take advantage of so that their patients don't remember the procedure. The drug is dosed so that it produces sedation and reduces anxiety. Halcion has also been used to prevent or minimize jet lag.

Halcion is perhaps the most potent benzodiazepine. I found it to be the most effective sleep initiator. However, because of its short half-life there are sometimes rebound awakenings. Sometimes there is a need to take a second longer-acting hypnotic agent with it. For total insomnia, I used a combination of Halcion and Ativan (lorazepam). I experience little or no hangover the next morning. Personally, I hope Halcion remains available.
