Since I began menopause twelve years ago I have NOT slept through the night, always wake at the two hour mark. I do not take this drug every night for fear of dependency but when I require a good night sleep I will take which allows me to have a good nite sleep with NO side effects next say (lethargic, etc.)

I used Oxazepam for my anxiety attacks. The good news is I have less and less anxiety. I feel there is more to expect with natural anti anxiety. It is to this day the only medication that really work. The best result is when you take Oxazepam without alcohols. My experience is telling me that is a very good medication not to be taken daily.

I was prescribed this med for my panic attacks , after trying different ones that didnt work . What a relief, I finally was able to function normally, took as prescribed for 4 weeks and now only need once in a while . That was 20 years ago . i call it my magic pill and keep one in my purse at all times , but rarely need to take one anymore. Thanks to my doctor .

I take just 2.5mg or 5mg! when i have anxiety. It calms me down immediately and makes me feel good even the day after. It even blocks the anxiety for long term sometimes and i take it when it comes back which can be couple of weeks after. Anyways! works perfect for my body

I have been on this now for 16 years but only take when needed at it can become very addictive and has worked wonders for me.

Terrific for short-term use, like airline travel and trouble getting to sleep, because it works quickly and only lasts a few hours.

I am taking this Oxazepam along with an anti-depressent, Pristiq. Since the anti- depressent dosage has been increased to 100 mg., the Oxazepam doesn't seem to be quite as effective. Today, after taking it, I felt a sadness. I wonder if the seratonin levels could be too high when taking both of these drugs together, since they both work on chemicals in the brain. I want to find out about this and also what side effects the norepinephrin involvement can cause. CD

For those having trouble staying asleep (not falling asleep), this medication is a happy middle ground. I had tried zolpidem (ambien) for chronic anxiety-based insomnia and found that while it was great getting me to sleep, I was often up again at 2 am (we do not have ambien extended available in Canada, so options are limited). My doctor then tried me on Zopiclone (Immovane), but I felt foggy and hungover with it the entire next day. Oxazepam feels gentler to me, it helps me stay asleep and the next day I'm not hungover by it. For Canadians with limited choices to sleep medication, this drug appears to be the happy middle ground -- keeps you asleep if you have issues staying asleep overnight, but doesn't zonk you out the entire next day.Read More Read Less

A very effective treatment for insomnia. I gained a tolerance after 6 weeks; but I gain tolerances easily.

I use this drug for sleep. I was only sleeping 3 1/2 hours a night. I go to sleep every night very easy now and do not feel like I have been run over by a truck in the morning.
