I have taken numerous meds for my anxiety problems. Tranxene has been the only one that has ever helped my anxiety. I take 30 mgs a day. Everyone else raves about Klonopin - it helped me but made me irritable. My opinion tranxene is better and longer lasting. Anyone else have any success stories with Tranxene?

I agree it's a fine med.
My pdoc prefers it over klonopin
not sure why
compared to all the side effects of SSRIs, this is amazingly good stuff
have read all about long term benzo troubles, have only been on 1 month, but it's been the best month in a long time.

I have been taking 22.5 mg at bedtime for over three years. I am supposed to take one 7.5 mg in the morning, and the other 15 mg at night, but I have found that it is better at night for my chronic insomnia. I have taken clonazepam (Klonopin before-for about a year) it works OK. Tranzene seems to me to be a very mild benzo. I have tried about everyone you could name. For my purposes, for MOST people's purposes, it is probably the least "dangerous" benzo out there for long-term use. Alprazolam (Xanax) for example, can cause terrible withdrawal problems if one has been using it for a long time, and requires about a month to *properly* taper down from it w/o complications. Ativan is not too bad, but isn't used that much as an anxiolytic for some reason. So, that's what I think. I have no problems with clorazepate (Tranzene), and believe it to be very predictable and efficacious.
