>now i know ( my doctor in hospital also had no idea)These docs should warn us before giving us
these things and before changing doses. Since
I wasn't taking tranxene primarily as a psych
drug I was thinking of it as my other anti-
convulsants, which you can decrease by 1/2 pill
without a problem.How long did your symptoms persist? I'm hoping
since I've not totally stopped taking the drug
and simply dropped the dose back too quickly
I'll be feeling better soon.I have noticed today that a few things help.
Yesterday I was stressing over it. Bad thing
to do. I'm relaxing today and not worrying about
things. As a result I'm finding I feel better
and the symptoms sort of come in waves and then
go away. Hopefully this is the beginning of
the resolution!BTW---I'd already decided to change neuro docs
and this has sealed the decision. In fact, I
think I'll have the new one change my other meds
so I can remove the rest of the tranxene----very
slowly this time, and with a doc's advice all
the way!!gloryb
