He could be substituted with another similar medication. Unfortunately they are addictive and hence should be avoided. Please speak to local Psychiatrist for further advice and monitoring.
Best wishes.

Hello dear,
See the evidence based treatment for anxiety disorders are Medications and therapy like CBT....Now tranxene is not the first line treatment for anxiety disorders..I mean benzodiazepine has got multiple side effects like dependence potential.. incoordination.. memory issues etc...Ssri or snri are usually started as main Medicine...So Consult a Psychiatrist for the same..As without seeing the patient in person giving prescription is not right..I hope you understand... Kindly don't self medicate.. regards
