My daughter’s doctor told me info about Tranxene, but only it belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. I could assume it is used in the treatment of anxiety disorders and for short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. This is exactly problem that my daughter suffers from, so her doctor prescribed her this drug. However, my neighbor told me her husband used Tranxene to relieve the symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal so I am a little bit confused. Now I would like to hear some info about Tranxene if you could help me and say anything about the drug I should know.
First thing you need to know is that Tranxene can be habit-forming if taken regularly over a long period. Your daughter may experience withdrawal symptoms if she stops using Tranxene abruptly. That is why you should consult her doctor before discontinuing Tranxene or making any change in her dose. Side effects of this drug cannot be anticipated, so if any develop or change in intensity, inform her doctor. He is the only one who can determine if it is safe for her to continue taking Tranxene. Side effects may include symptoms such as blurred vision, depression, difficulty in sleeping or falling asleep, dizziness, and drowsiness. Some cases were with side effects such as dry mouth, double vision, fatigue, genital and urinary tract disorders. Anxiety or tension related to everyday stress usually does not require treatment with such a strong drug, but I believe your daughter needs while her doctor prescribed this drug for her. Further more, info you should know about Tranxene is that this drug is not recommended for use in more serious conditions such as depression or severe psychological disorders. If she is being treated for anxiety associated with depression, her doctor will prescribe the lowest dose possible to avoid the risk of overdose, so you should not be worried.
