Accepted Answer

No: It's is a minor tranquilizer--for Effexor (venlafaxine) discontinuance symptoms the best is take a small (37.5) of effexor (venlafaxine).

Question 4

tranxene (clorazepate)  withdrawal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not as bad: Tranxene (clorazepate) is a very long-acting benzodiazepine. The general rule is: the longer acting, the less withdrawal (like methodone withdrawal is somewhat better than heroin). At the same time, withdrawals are characteristic to any benzodiazepine, and will happen to anyone addicted to it.

They differ: Klonopin (clonazepam) is longer acting but takes just slightly longer to start working. Ativan works quicker but clears from your system quicker then Klonopin (clonazepam) although it can stay in your system for a while.

Question 6

is ativan (lorazepam) addicting?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ativan (lorazepam) is a benzodiazipine, this class of meds can be addicting, even small doses used over an extended period of time can be very difficult to stop. Some people take them as prescribe and find it very hard to stop, others can be more overtly addicted and continue to take higher and higher doses. In general best for short term use only. Try to avoid if history of addiction like alcohol.

Question 7

why is klonopin (clonazepam) addicting?

Accepted Answer

Klonopin (clonazepam) addiction: Good question.  For vulnerable people, the pleasurable sensations that make addictive drugs disastrously attractive occur when Dopamine levels in the brain’s reward area surge abruptly. Usually there are neurons in the brain that inhibit this result, by downregulating dopamine-producing neurons.  Benzos like Klonopin (clonazepam) inhibit these "inhibitory" neurons -- taking the brakes off the Dopamine surge.

Question 8

alprazolam, diazepam, lorazepam, or clonazepam, which is better?

Accepted Answer

Benzodiazepines: The medications that you have listed are benzodiazepines and used to treat anxiety, panic disorders, seizures, and are sedatives. These medications vary in the onset of action, side effects and all can be habit forming.  The best medication is the one that best fits the patients clinical problem.
