This pill is generic Serax 30 mg made by Sandoz. Its chemical name is oxazepam. It is a benzodiazepine drug. Some common benzodiazepines other than oxazepam include Valium (diazepam, Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam), Halcion (triazolam), Rohypnol (Flunitrazepam), and Ativan (lorazepam); there are many many other benzodiazepines in existance besides these that are just not marketed at this time.

The primary use of oxazepam is to treat anxiety disorders, particularly panic attacks. Oxazepam is a short half life, fast acting benzodiazepine like alprazolam and lorazepam making it very useful to abort panic attacks. It is relatively mild (30 mg oxazepam = 10 mg diazepam = 0.5 mg alprazolam = 40 mg chlordiazepoxide).

Oxazepam is avaliable in 10 mg, 15 mg, and 30 mg doses.

Oxazepam is also sometimes used along with a long half life, long acting benzodiazepine like clonazepam. In this case, clonazepam acts as the around the clock control of anxiety, and oxazepam is used for breakthrough anxiety (moments of higher anxiety that break through the long acting benzodiazepine) to quickly alleviate symptoms.

Daily use of benzodiazepines create a physical dependency that results in an extremely unpleasant, and in the case of benzodiazepines possibly dangerous, withdrawal syndrom if they are abruptly discontinued or the dose is reduced too quickly. People who require long term use of benzodiazepines must be slowly tapered off the benzodiazepine if a time comes when they no longer need to take the drug.

Benzodiazepines including serax are also sometimes used in conjunction with SSRIs to treat depression with anxiety.

Benzodiazepines, including serax, are also sometimes used to make withdrawal from other addictive substances such as opioids, alcohol, or barbiturates, less uncomfortable and/or dangerous.
