My personal favorite is Clobazam as it will stop my tremory legs and get me down from the ceiling in 20 minutes. I saw them on Tena's list, but no one in the states seems to know anything about them....The brand name is Frisium. They are my salvation especially if I have had too much sugar. They are considered addictive, and like all meds become less effective the more you take. So I treat them with the respect due them.
