Anxiety
"It is better than nothing. But Xanax works much better. My previous dr in another city prescribed Xanax. I took it as needed for about 20 yrs. It kicked in almost immediately so I only took it when a bad situation occurred. I never became dependent or addicted. Current dr (different location) refuses to prescribe Xanax &amp; will only let me have Tranxene.   Since it doesn&#039;t kick in quickly I have to take it in anticipation of the occurrence of a bad situation. So I take it every day 1st thing when I get up so it will be in my system by the time I get to work. So I take more of it &amp; it works less well than Xanax. More drs need to know that Xanax is not really addictive &amp; it works far better than Tranxene."
