In reply to Ativan vs Tranxene vs Xanax vs Klonopin???, posted by 3 Beer Effect on May 30, 2002, at 14:03:38
Hello,
I don't know if I can answer any of your questions, but I have been on tranxene for over 8 years or so. I originally took 7.5 mg in the morning and at night. The morning dose seemed to have me yawning like crazy, but it took a few months for that to subside. I stopped the am dose about 2 years ago, but have started upping my dose to the original total of 15 mg again. I didn't want to do it, but I had some things happen that made anxiety too hard to handle. Thus far, I am doing better, but seem a little depressed or blunted. Don't get me wrong the current feeling is MUCH better than the anxiety feeling. I think tranzene is ok for the long term. When I cut back on the 7.5 mg a few years back I had some strange leg twitching and it subsided rarely quickly. I don't remember any anxiety or sleep issues at that time. I do wonder about xanax since it has AD properties(or so I have heard). Can't they make an XR of xanax or something?? Good luck and let me know what you decide. Johnj
