-Tranxene- The lost benzodiazepine-Discussion

Posted by Mr.Scott on May 2, 2001, at 14:41:44

My Doc says he uses a lot of Tranxene (clorazepate dipotassium). He claims it is like Phenobarbital is to the barbiturates. It has a VERY long half life like 100 hours or something crazy like that and so is 'self tapering'. Drug addicts seem to rank it very low in terms of liking whereas Xanax and Valium rank very high. It is also the second most anticonvulsant of the benzodiazepines after Klonopin. Finally it binds weakly to receptors unlike the High Potency benzos (Ativan,Xanax,Klonopin) making it good for anxiety but probably not for Panic.

That said.. I hate taking benzos.. or anything else potentially dependence inducing. But Nothing..and I Mean Nothing works as well for me when I'm in a pinch.

Does anyone have any experience with Tranxene?? Or thoughts on the matter.
