and I have not heard of some of these. So, two votes for
Tranxene. But nordazepam has the word 'daze' in it....Well, when the time comes (whenever that may be) to move off Xanax for good, I will have more info to discuss with my
doc. I could bring up Tranxene and see if he
makes a face. He sometimes does when discussing medication. It's subtle but readable.'Some guy on the Internet' made me smile.
Is Tranxene available in the US?
I dig a pony.
