I have been on oxazepam and tranxene for 9 years. Free of oxa now and almost done with the tranxene.
You should go to your dr and ask for a tapering plan, most of them switch you to a long acting benzo like valium and taper off from there.You cannot stop CT.
It takes a while and the secret is time, allow yourself the time to get back to normal.
Best of luck to you.

It would be best if you get this information from a Dr. as it needs to be done very slowly it can cause seizures and other complications if taken off to quickly.. lesa
