Oxazepam for severe anxiety phobias and fears

I have tried every benzo, ativan, xanax, valium (twice), and klonopin but nothing seems to calm my extreme anxiety. My psychiatrist just prescribed oxazepam cause its one of the few I haven't tried. Just wondering if anyone else used this med? I realize we are all different in our responses to meds but curious because I never heard much about it. I'm also on Paxil but so far no improvement. I have been trying to find a med or meds for almost two years with no success.

hi theresa, i have been using oxazepam since last september, with interesting results. at the start i only used a quarter of a 15 mg tablet, as needed for general anxiety. this small amount was very effective for a few weeks, then suddenly i was needing more and more for the same effect. now i am on three 15 mg tablets per day, and still only getting partial relief. i don t blame the meds for my increased anxiety, but the more i used, the more i needed. i am praying that therapy willll take over where oxazepam has only helped to a degree, again, you are right about us all reacting differently, so maybe things will be different for you, blessings

they use oxazepam now many times were librium or diazepam would be used to taper down detox for alchohol. it is a longer half-life benzo like diazepam or clonazepam. flurazepam and quazepam have very long half-lifes, FDA approved as hypnotic/soporific agents only.

Theresa,

How long have you been on the 60mg of Prozac?
