Was prescribed to my eighty year old grandmother. This is mainly her docs fault. But she has since had major sleeping spells where she is unresponsive, went to hospital for it, fell and hurt herself, nursing home, and now is back home and has fell again and requires full care. I started digging trying to find cause and this med had just been prescribed. In her spells when she wouldn't wake* she also could not speak* and when did, it came out slurred*. Her walking* became a problem. Before being prescribed to this she was fully independent. I just wanted to review so that maybe if another elderly is taking this maybe it will warn them if they begin seeing these symptoms. It may also prevent an elderly from continuing this prescription after seeing the first symptoms and taking the same road grandma has. Hope it saves someone. (not a negetive review it did help her nerves as im sure it does many people. just be weary with giving to elderly)

Please post how this drug (Tranxene T-Tab) is used as an add on with Neurontin for seizures.

I'm an RN and was very impressed by what I've read about this medication, especially the long half-life which decreases the chance of tolerance or addiction. However, it didn't work for me. 7.5 mg had no effect. At 15 mg, feeling of pounding heartbeat turned to a fluttering but didn't go away and I just felt tired. Seems like this would be a great medication for generalized anxiety but I just didn't have much luck with it.
