I am going to the dentist this week and wanted to know how safe it is? Or the side effects of this drug? I am nervous and want to make sure it doesnt have any weird effect. I looked it up and Its typically used as a sleeping pill. and you are suppose to just sleep through the procedure and not remember anything. And if anyone knows how you feel afterward?? Thanks!

I have used Triazolam for Dentist visits in the past. Don't be nervous, but be prepared to take the rest of the day off. Someone will have to pick you up from the dentist because you will be groggy for a few hours. It's like a sleeping pill, but it's also an amnesia causing substance, so you may wake up during the procedure, but you won't feel anything and you won't remember it much afterwards. Good luck and don't worry!

I work in a dental office and we give to our patients who are having procedures done like wisdom teeth extractions. You are going to be pretty out of it, very relaxed, you may even fall asleep in the chair. And you won't remember anything. It does take a few hours for the drug to wear off, it varies depending on the person. You will most likely sleep or be very sleepy for the whole day. It works like a charm and we use if all the time!
