Your experience with Tranxene

Hi All,

Had a bit of a relapse, but I am back 5 days sober. Went to the ER for withdrawal symptoms. Dr. in ER prescribed me Tranxene for the anxiety and withdrawal. I have one more day left of it. He has lowered the dosage gradually. Anyway, I would like to know what your side effects with this drug have been. All and all, it has been good for me. BUT, this evening I experienced flashing black laser like lights flashing across my eyes and out of the corner of my eyes. It was kind of trippy!!!

Anyone else have this feeling??

Thanks

Hi happycamper
I have no experience with that drug.

Personally I think your doctor is the best person to ask if you have any questions about your medication, or its possible side effects.

Yep...gonna give him a shout tomorrow. Like I said, It has been a great drug for me and the flashes only last about 5 minutes. Just looking for some other experiences or what others where put on for their withdrawl symptoms.

Hugs!

Never used it.....no experience from me.

Good to know you are getting back on track

how about a warm shower to relax and go to bed?
Be gentle with yourself.

Yeah, I had something like that out of the corners of my eyes just the other day and I'm not even on any medication! I'm serious.

l have used tranxene and l think it is rubbish.
Did things and talked to people and could not remember it the next day. Was completly out of my head.

Good luck with your detoxing !
