"When you were on Valium, what dose did you take?"
5mg 4x/day
"What dose of Tranxene did you take?"
7.5mg 4x/day, although sometimes I tapered it down to 3.75mg 4x/day if I was feeling better.
"Which benzodiazepine did you find the most effective?"
Xanax, for panic attacks.
Valium for Generalised Anxiety Disorder. (Maybe I wasn't on enough Valium though, since 5mg 4x/day is the equivalent of 0.25-0.5mg Xanax 4x/day and I'm currently on 1mg 4x/day.)"Which drug caused the most side effects? (including cognitive effects)"
Ativan (lorazepam) :-)
I would rank them like this for mental side effects, with the first one causing the most:
Ativan
Xanax
Valium
Tranxene
For physical side effects, I would rank it like this:
Valium
Tranxene
Ativan
Xanax
