Looking for information about tranxillium
Hello. I have come over from the friends and families forum. I hope it's OK for me to post here.
My husband is an alcoholic. We have been separated for two years. One of our teenage sons lives with him.
My husband met a girl after we separated and they went on a giant year long bender. Lots of alcohol, cocaine, MDMA etc. She was also addicted to vallium. She sadly took her own life in June last year.
My husband is understandably traumitised by this experience and continues to drink heavily. He can't sleep, due to the traumatic images in his mind and has started taking tranxillium (also called clorazapate or tranxene) without a prescription. He is buying it off the street so I am not sure how regular his supply is.
He appears to be having withdrawl symptoms although I am unclear if this is from the alcohol or from the pills.
I am very concerned about him but also about my son who is living with him.
Can anyone share any information with me about the risks of drinking heavily with this medication and also the risks of taking it sporadically?
Thank you
