Has anyone tried this? It's supposed to be less sedating than most of the benzos, similar to Xanax. However, unlike xanax, active metabolites do not accumulate in the liver, making other medications difficult to process. It is also longer lasting the Xanax.
There are others the do not have active metabolites:Klonopin, Restoril, Ativan, but they are known to be more sedating than the other two I mentioned.
I don't hear much about Serax, I wonder why. It seems like a good choice, since it's also long lasting. I don't usually need quick onset, since I have GAD, with no panic. I do occassionally experience in a normal situation much more anxiety than usual, and like that I can run to the bathroom and take a Xanax. Maybe it would be good to use Serax daily and Xanax as needed.
