Ketazolam (produced originally by a little, almost tiny company) is a very useful drug which is used for neurotic anxiety and muscle spasticity. It is metabolized in a greater amount in the long acting n-desmethyl-metabolites like Valium does. An advantage is that you can take it once daily and it is less sedating. It's also used in neurology as I said before. There is a big capsule available (45mg). Compared it in the bz. comparism table. At least two studies (anxiety) favour ketazolam because split dosage is not needed and there should be none daily drowsiness.
Prazepam is a benzo which I suppose has a somewhat antidepressant metabolite (according to a study). It's metabolized primarely in n-desmethyl-metabolites also. There are only 20mg (pfizer) available. The study says 40mg-60mg is needed and I believe that too. You have to take it twice a day.
I took these benzos in times of emotional shocks and I think it helped.
I have these studies saved in pdf if somebody is interested.
