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.
