- Take Tranxene Sd by mouth usually once a day, or as directed by your doctor.

I'm not sure what Tranxene SD is, but I take the generic tranxene, clorazipate dipotassium (may have butchered the spelling)....I Have been taking it for almost 12 years now. I would probably be dead if it weren't for this drug. I was unable to leave my house, I had panic attacks constantly, I couldn't eat, I was wasting away to nothing.....after I started taking tranxene, I was able to finally start eating a little bit, then I was able to actually go to the grocery store, then I was able to go to social events, then I got married and now I have 2 children.
