I took Tranxene (clorazepate dipotassium) for 10 years. It's nothing unique. It's just one of the active metabolites of diazepam (Valium), which is nordiazepam or more specifically desmethyldiazepam. Valium is broken down into 3 active metabolites: oxazepam, temazepam (both short-acting) and desmethyldiazepam (which is long-acting and is basically "Tranxene").
It's very long-acting and should have similar side effects with Valium, although I found Valium to be more rapid-acting.
I was on 7.5mg 4x/day (sometimes 3.75mg 3-4x/day.
It was good for panic attacks, but Valium was the best in my experience.
