User Reviews for Oxazepam

Serax (oxazepam) for Anxiety: This is really good medicine. I suffer from anxiety attacks, but when I am on this medication, I feel really calm and collective. I do get a little drowsy at times, but the other meds, I am on are possibly causing that. I have very bad mood swings and nervousness when not on this medicine. I highly recommend Serax.

Serax (oxazepam) for Anxiety: I have to admit when I was first perscribed this medication, I was very hesitant to take it. Like with all medications, I didn't know how this would effect me. And asking doctors and nurses, I still wasn't sure. After the first time I took it, I felt better than I have had in a long time. I was calm and very relaxed. I had a small headache, that felt like a mild hangover, but that was the only side effect I had. I highly recommend this medicine.

Serax (oxazepam) for Anxiety: I have chronic pain problems and a huge stress level so I haven't been sleeping. The doctor gave me a few of these to try and I found Serax definitely helps with sleep. I had my first 6 hour sleep in a row last night.

oxazepam for Anxiety: Been taking oxazepam for anxiety and would definitely recommend it. My thoughts become much less anxious and I can lead a normal life now. I would be suffering terribly without it.

Serax (oxazepam) for Anxiety: I take 30mg when needed and it makes me calm. Don't mix with alcohol, effective medicine when used as prescribed.

Serax (oxazepam) for Alcohol Withdrawal: This medicine worked well for my addiction to alcohol. Within a weeks time I was sober and feeling good and a detox facility was not needed. All from the comfort of my own home.

Serax (oxazepam) for Alcohol Withdrawal: I was prescribed 15mg Serax to take the edge of my anxiety while trying to stop drinking. I didn't have bad withdrawal (i.e. trembling, convulsions, etc) but I needed something to take the edge off. Serax was great for that. I knew when I took a dose around "happy hour" time that I couldn't drink because of the medication so I simply moved on with my life. It made me sleepy and I slept well and woke up with a great deal of energy. Then I read about the addictive aspect of Serax. My doctor said it was safe to use for 2-3 weeks but I was feeling addicted after five days and stopped. Given the choice of alcohol or Serax addiction I'd vote for Serax. My life was good using it.

oxazepam for Anxiety: I have taken this drug over a long period of time to help control my panic attacks caused by my agoraphobia. It worked when I started it and it still works, although I should caution that increasing the dosage without your doctor's approval can cause increased tolerance and the need for more. Also, it can be taken to help one sleep as others have noted. I stay on the recommended dosage each day and now lead a very normal life.

oxazepam for Anxiety: I have been on this medication for over 3 years. I finally found a medicine that really takes my anxiety away when I have my attacks. It has greatly allowed me to be myself again. Much better then anything else I have ever tried. My Doctor prescribed me this along with 1 mg of clonazepam and I sleep very well considering my previous condition.

oxazepam for Anxiety: 10 years of being put on literally dozens of medicines for anxiety and panic disorder, the past 6 years this medication has finally helped me the most out of all of them. It's a sigh of relief to just drive and do simple errands with no harsh side effects of other medicines. I agree with the tolerance some of you have mentioned, and the recent insurance changes trying to take away the only medicine that has helped, otherwise this medication overall has helped me immensely.

oxazepam for Anxiety: I was just prescribed this medication as my sleeping pill is not working very well due to pain - hopefully this will work! Thank you for your comments, it makes me less anxious about starting a new drug.

oxazepam for Anxiety: I take 30mg. It calms me down, I'm less anxious. It does what it is supposed to.

oxazepam for Anxiety: I take 30mg of oxazepam occasionally for chronic insomnia. The benefits are that it is effective, not too strong (can still function if needed in the night) and totally gone by morning. However, as it takes a while to kick in, I have to plan ahead when I'll use it and take the pills a good hour before going to bed.
