| 1 | for anxiety | took tablet on retiring to bed woke up feeling as rough as before but cannot get back to sleep at 04.14 | it does not seem to be effective tom,ñhl | F | 77 | 1 days 10 mg 1X day | 1/22/2018 | 4 | Insomnia and anxiety | PRN for occasional anxious periods in life. Only used at night and in small quantities. It's OK for rare to occasional use, but I did not find it effective as an insomnia treatment drug, nor for daily use. The body can rapidly build up a tolerance for this, meaning you need an increased dose after a few days or so. So,it is best used as a one-off, once-in-a-blue moon medication. | Used at night only. In the morning, I felt groggy, cranky and grumpy. It is not a mood enhancer by any means and you can expect it to flatten and lower your mood significantly, the next day. It does calm the muscles though. For instance, if you grind your teeth in your sleep, or move around a lot, it can help you relax. Also, you can expect to wake up, from your own snoring/ snorting, if you take this at night. It relaxes the throat, so you tend to snore if you take this at bedtime. | F | 39 | 10 years 7-22.5mg 1X day | 4/8/2014 | 5 | restless leg | none | I take 10mg of oxazepam at bedtime. Getting a full-night's sleep changed my life! Fewer side effects and a simpler compound than the drugs the sleep doctors tend to prescribe for restless leg... | M | 54 | 8 weeks | 2/11/2008 | 5 | Panic Attacks and General Anxiety | No side effects experienced at all | F | 40 | | 8/20/2006 |
