Hi Max,Tranxene is looong acting than klonopin and it's effect is more subtle than klonopin. It is less sedating but antipanic effect is weaker than klonopin's though anxiolytic effect may be the same. Why do you ask? To substitute your klonopin?
Don't worry over withdrawals. The worry will meddle with the good effects of klonopin. I took trazodone one night and the whole night I couldn't sleep because of the fear of priapism. Remember trazodone is a very potent hypnotic. It is thus how the fear of side effects will prevent you from experiencing those nice effects of medications especially in psychiatric field. I took klonopin for more than a year and now completely off. I was really expecting and prepared for some horrible days and nights but so far nothing means nothing at all. After twenty days, I am not that better while I was on klonopin but I think there should be a drug free period and this is the right time for it.
Klonopin is a wonderful medication if you want.
