Has anyone eles been on serax, and if so what were the results?

Oxazepam is a major metabolite of diazepam (valium).

My mother takes 5mg only when needed and hasn't experienced a single side effect. I don't take meds myself.

Thank you for your relpy, My Dr. gave me 10mg as needed I took first dose last night slept really good although I woke up very groggy and a little dizzy. I guess I will only take this when panic attacks are really bad, I can't see taking this everyday how would I function! thank you again. feel well.

to scared, its a useful med but 10mg is perhaps a bit high until you get used to it

these benzos or valium type meds strongly sedate some, making them feel drunk at first, that is until their system adjusts to them.
if this happens, a smaller dose is indicated, sadly many psychs and docs dont know this
