Hello..
I am new here .
I have a question for anyone with any knowledge of tranxene.
I was prescribed this 25 years ago.. At 3.75 , twice a day.. Am and Pm.
After about 5 years I dropped to 3.75 , half in the am and half in the pm. It still helped my sleep problems at that lower dose..
The doctor kept prescribing it. Telling me it was a mild medication.I never questioned it , as he knew how fearful of medications I had become.
He retired recently.
And my new doctor informed me Feb 8 of what I had been taking.
I panicked. She wants me to drop the morning first then the night.. Two week intervals..
I wanted off it as soon as I knew what this was. And did a lot of research. Coming up with so many different answers.
I thought since there is reasearch here someone might have a answer.
I cut 1/4 out of the morning dose. And in two days I was having tremors and my chest was not just pounding, but vibrating.
I had the shakes Some intestinal problems.. But that was only at night.
I thought it was my own anxiety.. NOt sure..
During the day, I feel OK. So far.
Does anyone know how this withdrawl compares to other benzos..I want off these and I get different answers ..
Is this a classic benzo? Is it milder than others , is it easier to get off of. has anyone used it for a period of time, Like I did.. and then had to get off?
What were the issues?
Anyone who knows about this drug would you please give me some information?
I am terrified and in a quandry. My doctor seems to think its just something I can drop in a few weeks.
And I am not so sure.. Some of the other benzo's cause such terrible symptoms.. And after effects..
I really don't know how strong this dose or this medication is.
Thank you to anyone that can help..
