| 5 | Anxiety, panic | None | I'm not sure what the SD stands for; I'm taking the regular tablets. Years ago, I only took it as needed. I didn't realize till I saw a different psychiatrist that I was experiencing rebound anxiety. He had me take a small amount daily, regardless of my anxiety level and it's so much better! This medication allows me to function! I have tried Xanax (hated it) and Proxac (made my anxiety way worse) and Klonipin (made me depressed). Tranxene is the magic bullet for me. | F | 54 | 30 years | 6/10/2007 | 5 | panic attacks, GAD, agoraphobia | none at all-- no noticable "calming" or "high" as you experience with valium.....just a lack of panic attacks, which is great! | I'm not sure what Tranxene SD is, but I take the generic tranxene, clorazipate dipotassium (may have butchered the spelling)....I Have been taking it for almost 12 years now. I would probably be dead if it weren't for this drug. I was unable to leave my house, I had panic attacks constantly, I couldn't eat, I was wasting away to nothing.....after I started taking tranxene, I was able to finally start eating a little bit, then I was able to actually go to the grocery store, then I was able to go to social events, then I got married and now I have 2 children. The tranxene, combined with Prozac, has turned my life around. I certainly worry about taking these drugs long term, but I don't know what I would do without them. I have been off the prozac before, but I have never went off the tranxene....even though I have been on it for over a decade, I still only take 15 mg/day. I have increased and decreased my dosage over the years (especially when I was pregnant), but I've been at the same d | F | 35 | 12 years | 3/13/2007 | 4 | mri claustrophobia | Made me drowsy but I didn't consciously feel the relaxing effect of the drug. | I didn't think I had claustrophobia until I first entered the MRI machine for neck scan and had to exit. MRI tech said it effects about 50% of his patients. I scheduled for later date and doctor prescribed one 7.5mg Tranxene to take 1 hour before MRI. Other than being drowsy I didn't feel the pill was effective but I made it through the mri with no anxiety. | M | 60 | 1 times | 1/30/2007 | 2 | Panic, Anxiety | Racing heart | I took one dose before bed and woke up with my heart beating out of my chest, which made me panic even more. | F | 32 | 1 days | 6/30/2006 | 5 | Anxiety | None. | This drug has saved me. I used to be so anxious I felt like I couldn't even be in my own skin. I feel more normal when taking this now, even though my dose has had to be increased a few times it has really helped. | F | 23 | 4 weeks | 10/18/2005 | 4 | anxiety | no side effects, and I take tranxene t-tabs, total dosage of 67.5 mg. per day | Much better and far less addictive than any other benzodiazapine, however I am on a very high dose and would like to ween off it a bit, but I also take provigil for ADD which causes me anxiety. | F | 35 | 6 months | 7/26/2005 | 4 | | 5/27/2003 |
