Prwood,
Lorazepam and oxazepam are both benzos used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and alcohol withdrawl. Lorazepam, as you are aware, is Ativan; oxazepam is Serax. Is it possible that you are taking this drug? Hope this helps.

that I know. I have not taken serax..I have taken and have a script for clonazepam for migraine headaches...again in the benzodiazepene family but this test said the "metabolites" were that specifically for oxazepam....Serax if you will but no I have never taken it. I am a nurse so I think I would be aware if I did...simply did not...can't figure it out...but thanks
