Hi, i'm new here and have a question about Tranxene (chlorazapate) and Valium. 

i currently take Tranxene 7.5mg three times daily.  I ran out due to an error on my part (can explain) and cannot get any until Monday, the 25th.  That will be 4 days without.  Imwas told by a pharmacist that Valium will help me through these 4 days.  He suggests 5mg Valium per 7.5mg of Tranxene.  i DO have access to the Valium.  Any suggestions, etc?  i'm kind of scared.

Hi Coconutcool, and welcome to BenzoBuddies.  Glad you found us.  There is a Benzodiazepine Equivalence Table at Benzo.org

 

Also:

 

The Ashton Manual is an authoritative source on what to expect in withdrawal and recovery.  Dr. Ashton is an expert in the field.  She describes and explains withdrawal symptoms, and there is also a section with withdrawal/taper schedules.

Thank you Megan!  I have to admit I am a bit confused by column 3 in the chart; I do not understand the number there.  May I please have a little help?  Is that number referring to how many total replacement doses are required or is this a daily figure, etc?  Perhaps I'm just feeling so crappy it's not registering..lol.  Thank you again.  Anyone here ever make the switch from Tranxene to Valium?

Omgoodness, I answered my own question.  I think I am just too preoccupied with my dilemma.  Thank you again.  Also, any other experiences with this sort of switch are sooo welcomed.

Welcome to the forum coconutcool!

 

You will find loads of info & support here!

 

I cannot be of much help as I know nothing about traxene.

 

Maybe try using the "search" function for more info on traxene until someone experienced with this comes along.
