I was on 15 mg of tranxene for 5 or more years. Dropped the dose to 7.5 mg and finshed grad school and even went abroad for a period of time. I recently had to go back to 15 mg and even up ANOTHER 7.5 to help my sleep during the week. Dr. Bob had a listing of sites about benzo's month or so ago and they talked about both cases occuring. That sometimes when a person goes off they eventually have to go back to their original dose and sometimes evern MORE.
If it is pure panic disorder maybe one can get by without ever increasing the dose, but to ME, there is such a fine line between anxiety/depression/panic disorder that makes it very very hard to know who has what. I don't think I quite know what I am myself. Do docs even know how to dx this effectively????
