Oxazepam
anxiety
"My doctor prescribed oxazepam for me for chronic insomnia back in the 1970s. He said it was less addictive than prescribing a sleeping pill for me. I take one 15mg capsule about an hour before bedtime. Most of the time, that is sufficient but occasionally, if I've still been unable to get to sleep within a couple of hours, my prescription calls for a second 15 mg capsule. That definitely does the job. I wake up the next morning with no hangover effect. This medication has been effective and a lifesaver for me. Now, however, I'm going on Medicare and none of the drug plans includes oxazepam so I'm reluctantly going to ask my doctor to prescribe something similar which is in a plan and hope that it works as well."
