> But if someone is taking a benzo on a daily basis they don't need to feel it 'kick in'. They need a drug which provides continuous 24hr relief of anxiety.True, you are correct -- I didn't mean the kick of Xanax, a more subtle one. I can notice differences between Valium and the previous Klonopin in terms more of anxiety relief. Maybe its the placebo syndrome, but if so, so what. And it does provide continuous 24 hour relief, past 24 hours actually though I take it twice daily because I took Klonopin twice daily too and the extra curve of onset at different times of the day helps, in my opinion. But that's just my case. Others will obviously vary tremendously since I have a special syndrome :/.
Chlordiazepoxide can fulfill this role for patients who do not require a high dose of a benzodiazepine. It doesn't really matter whether they are taking 20mg diazepam or 80mg chlordiazepoxide.
Mostly.... metabolites of diazepam are a little stronger I think, since Restoril is among them, I think it is not among Librium -- but no need to quibble. :)>
> Diazepam is, as we have already noted, a better PRN than chlordiazepoxide. I wasn't recommending chlordiazepoxide as a PRN, I was simply suggesting that it was an alternative to diazepam in the treatment of chronic anxiety.mmph... I would say Xanax or Ativan provides better PRN relief for onset time. Librium really is a fading drug, certainly here in the US I think except for some esoteric alcohol abuse reduction.
