Not a good idea: Halcion is triazolam, and Restoril is temazepam. Both are benzodiazepine sleeping pills. Their effects are very similar — Restoril lasts longer — and would add together if taken at the same time. It is considered poor medical practice to take multiple medications that do the same thing: the results are less predictable and more drug interactions can result. Both meds are habit-forming too.

Halcion (triazolam): That is a no no. They are both hypnotic medication. Halcion is short-acting and Restoril is long. It would be like taking tylenol (acetaminophen) with aspirin.

Why would you?: Don't recommend taking these two sedative/ hypnotics together due to drug- drug interactions.
