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

oxazepam: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.
