For Anxiety "I have drug-related issues for ~15 years. Dope, speed. My 'psychiatrist' diagnosed me with the word 'schizophrenia.' Antipsychotics are very dangerous, they increased my anxiety and stress many times over. Finally, after 15 years, 3 months, no drugs, I have found oxazepam. 5 mg. I read you can take up to 120 mg! At the moment, I think I need about 10 mg a day. I am doubting whether I have 'schizophrenia' at all. I am down to 1/2 minimum dose, tablet of dangerous Latuda. So-called 'treatment' with antipsychotics is criminal."

For Alcohol Withdrawal "I wrote a comment and forgot to rate 10/10. I don't think anyone else here has commented on its use (under medical guidance) for acute opiate withdrawal from long-term opiate replacement therapy drugs such as methadone/suboxone. I'd already gotten my life back together due to the opiate replacement (methadone), but I just outgrew the methadone, as it was holding me back from further life successes. This drug made the last week of my titration (dropped 50mg in 5 weeks, of methadone) bearable. If you know methadone, you know dropping 50mg in 5 weeks is basically hell, but I was happy throughout 'cause I'd addressed the underlying issues of my addiction, thus I was ready. I used Serax for one week, on a specific taper, to alleviate the worst symptoms and debilitating anxiety rapid opiate withdrawal causes. It worked. Listen to your doctors and don't play with your dosing. I mean, misusing prescribed Oxy is how I'd gotten my heroin habit in the first place."

For Alcohol Withdrawal "Received it in jail as I had to withdrawal from alcohol. I drank 12-15 pack cans for 2 years, booted about 2 g a day of meth anxiety ALWAYS, and thus REALLY helped in jail and AFTER jail. Highly recommend."
