Clorazepate, sold under the brand name Tranxene among others, is a benzodiazepine medication. It possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, hypnotic, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Clorazepate is an unusually long-lasting benzodiazepine and serves as a majoritive prodrug for the equally long-lasting desmethyldiazepam, which is rapidly produced as an active metabolite. Desmethyldiazepam is responsible for most of the therapeutic effects of clorazepate.[1] It was ...

My doc wants me to go off clorazepate. I have been on it for 25 years. I was wondering if the side effects of clorazepate withdrawal, is the same as some of the other stronger benzo's? I take 3.75 a day.. Half in the morning and half at night. What would a taper be like and how should I do it? Anyone done it and can tell me what to expect? ## Yes, it can cause the same withdrawal effects, which the FDA lists as possibly including nausea, fever, chills, dizziness, irritability, and rebound anxiety. As to the taper, only your doctor can tell you how to do so safely, but the modern preferred method is usually to have someone start taking doses further and further apart, while also gradually lowering them. Are you on any other medications? You should not stop abruptly, as that may creat...

How many milligrams of Xanax are three Clorazepate 7.5 mg equal to? I'm asking for a friend. She was prescribed 3 Clorazepate 7.5 mg tablets a day to help wean off three 2mg doses of Xanax a day. ## Even though both Xanax and Clorazepate are classified as benzodiazepines, my take on this is that no two drugs are created equally; whereas not only the half-life varies, but also the duration of effect, the potency and the binders/fillers that affect bioavailability. Therefore the only way to determine if you're benefiting from or the other on a similar level would be through trial and error. I don't encourage anyone to just start experimenting on their own, but perhaps your friend's doctor can make some suggestions that may alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms without ha...

My mother's Dr. has her on all three meds and she seems dazed and confused now. Has anyone had any experience with this combination ## Well, all medications can cause side effects and sometimes, they can cause a synergistic effect, making each other's side effects worse. Lorazepam is a generic for Ativan, this is a potent Benzodiazepine, it is used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. (I'm going to post about all these meds individually to avoid confusion, but please note that in the eldery, drugs can react more potently and cause more pronounced side effects!) Side effects for this may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and confusion. You can read more on it here: ## Citalopram is a generic for Celexa, this is an antidepressant.

I get a script of 60 of the 7.5 mgs of tranxene (clorazapate) and I need a doc or a professional in the pharmaceutical to give me a correct answer because my doc doesn't like giving out the really strong benzos and says she's hesitate to up my dosage to 15mgs and the 7.5 don't work I gotta take four or five just to relieve a lil bit so I'm just curious bcuz a zanny Barr usually does the trick sometime two just depends. So, please I need help to know the equivalence from the 7.5 to any mgs of Xanax. Thanks please reply ASAP! ## Hello, Wade! How are you? Yes, this is a very mild one. Each 7.5mg dosage of it is equivalent to only 0.25mgs of Xanax/Alprazolam. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as naus...

Is 3.75 mg of Clorazepate or tranxene the same as taking one mg of xanax or what? ## No, the Clorazepate is much weaker than Xanax, so 3.75mgs of it only equals about 0.125mgs of Alprazolam/Xanax. The ration of Clorazepate to Xanax is 30.03:1. Learn more Clorazepate details here. Learn more Xanax details here. Both of these medications have the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I have taken Clorazepate 7.5 mg 2x daily for anxiety and panic attacks. It works for me. It seems no one has it. Have they stopped making it? ## The pharmacy told my mother in law and they stopped making it. So she takes 2 of the 3.75 mg i...

I have 3.75 mg of clorazapate and it doesnt seem to be working as well any more. I now have 10mg of Flexerill. I know i should not take together but which is stronger? or are they equal? Ive been onthe clorazapate for a while now. Thats probable why I got this. ## There is really no way to compare to the two, since they are different medications. Clorazepate is a benzodiazepine, while Flexeril is a muscle relaxant, so they work differently. It is really a matter of which works best for you. Have you tried the Flexeril, yet? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. ## what are the side effects of stopping 3.75 mg cloraz sepot

I have taken 7.5 mg of clorazepate for 10 years and my doctor has decreased the dosage to 3.7mg. It is not working now. Will it work eventually? ## It is normal to experience less effectiveness when your dosage is lowered. Other withdrawal effects may possibly include nausea, fever, chills, depression, and seizures. Why was the dosage lowered? ## Vernon, Thanks for replying. My dosage of clorazepate was lowered because my doc.wants mean to wean off, and take celexa, an antidepressant, which does nothing for me except keep me awake! damned if I do or don't.
