Hi Yxi,
Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) is a long-acting hypnotic. Its effects tend to persist the following morning. Triazolam (Halcion), as you said, has a short duration of action.
I did some research RE the metabolism of diazepam (Valium). It turns out that temazepam (a metabolite of diazepam) does not contribute significantly to the clinical effects of diazepam, since it is excreted at approximately the same rate as it is generated, and is therefore almost undetectable in the blood. Desmethyldiazepam is the only metabolite of diazepam which is clinically important.
Kind regards
Ed
