I am using Venlor 150mg once a day and Adco-Alzam 3 x per day for angxiety. The doctor doctor told me not to use it on a long term, but I have used it for three years now. Ihave asked him to give me something saver than the Alzam which I can use on a long term but he is stil finding out for the right medication. I would like to know if the Purata oxazepam does the same as the Alzam and if it it saver on a long term please. ## Hi, Charmaine! How are you?

Its my understanding that oxazepam is a weaker benzo that is what my psych said I have tried every benzo and feel I get no relief from any he last had me on klonopin allowing up to 3 Mgs daily but I felt it wasn't helping he switched me to oxazepam only cause its the only one I didnt try and thought to give it a shot but he prescribed 15 Mgs 4 times a day I think this is far less than the equivalent of klonopin 3 Mgs a day does anyone know if I'm right does anyone who tried other benzos use or had used serax please let me know ## Hello, Theresa! How are you doing? Yes, you are correct, you'd need 120mgs a day of the Oxazepam to equal what you were taking of the Klonopin. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, heada...

On and off antidepressants for 20 some odd years. Some work better than others. The last one I was prescribed was Cymbalta a new one for depression and it just didn't seem show any improvement on my fatigue or my get up. Today I started on Oxazepam, does anyone know anything about that? New and needing help ## Oxazepam is a benzodiazepine that is most commonly used to treat anxiety, and for its sedative like effects. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, irritability, mood changes, and drowsiness. Ref: Oxazepam Information Some new studies have been showing new information on depression, such as it not actually being caused by low serotonin as has been commonly believed, so this information may help impr...

I am perscribed 50mgs of trmadol 3xdaily and 15mg of oxazepam what kind of feeling will I get? ## Hello, Sassyfrassy! How are you? Both of these medications tend to cause sedation, so combining them may intensify that effect and you may end up feeling very tired, dizzy and drowsy. It would be best not to drive or operate machinery, until you know how they actually affect you. They both also carry the risk of being habit forming and you may experience side effects, such as nausea, dry mouth, irritability and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

My Rheumatologist says that it is unnecessary to withdraw from Oxazepam 15mg. (see above Topic for dosage) and merely substitute with a lesser dosage of Difucan (10mg. @ 4-6 hours daily) as they are "the same drug"! I have been taking this Oxazepam dosage for 25 years+. Now I am following his instructions and having major withdrawal miserable symptoms. Any suggestions? ## There is no medication called Difucan, the closest is Diflucan and, if that's what you have, then I don't think you're taking the right medication, because it is an antifungal medication. Learn more Diflucan details here. I think you may want to double check everything, because the medication she intended to prescribe for you may have been Diazepam, which would be an equivalent medication. Learn mor...

Is it safe to take 100 mg trazodone with 40 mg oxazepam for sleep? ## Has your doctor instructed you to do so? Taking them together can increase the risk of depression of the central nervous system, which may cause shallow breathing, lowered heart rate and lowered blood pressure. It doesn't mean they can't be used together, but it should only be done under a doctor's approval and supervision. Learn more: ## NO. I take the trazodone to help me sleep. I had a skin cancer removed today and the acetami/codine #3 is for pain

I found some Small Round Yellow pills With a capital G on one side and om/15 on other, I can't find them in any database, they are from Australia I think. If anyone knows what they are, that would be great... ## G and OM15? Is that correct? If they are from Australia, they may be hard to track down, not all foreign medications are logged like American ones. I will keep looking though, in other databases. Does anyone else have any idea what they are? ## The pills which you are describing are manufactured in Australia by Alphapharm and are called Alepam 15. The active ingredient is Oxazepam 15 mg. The manufacturer's leaflet states "Alepam 15 - round pale orange tablet marked OM/15 and G." Oxazepam is a benzodiazepine used extensively since the 1960s for the treatment of an...

Mallinckrodt hydrocodone/apap pills several years ago changed. This sounds like a similar thing to what used to be the caplet (large) shaped pills; M 0367 is now the M367 10/325mg tablet. I believe that they all changed to the same size and shape, dropping initial '0'. Some codes went out of use, most changed inbthe way described, but this tablet, if one og those, is unlikely to be of use, those things having changed well over 15 years ago. Advice; email Covidien. When in doubt... I did the same with Aspen re: Pax diazepam and Purata oxazepam, recently changed, and received courteous reply reassuring me within 48 hours. Write! ## The marking on the pill in question is often misinterpreted, since it can be hard to read on the small tablet, but it is actually M 0552 and the tablet...

I have been getting my alprazolam substituted with Sandoz 2 mg tabs which do zi[/nada/nothing and Aurobindo 1 mg ER tabs which are also useless. I've had a bad experience with Sandoz and oxazepam before. CVS says Greenstone is discontinued but my independent pharmacy says they are being produced but I have to pay $35 for the Rx because my Part D drug insurance "only reimburses them a few dollars". CVS initially promised me Teva (2mg) and Greenstone 1 mg ER. After getting Sandoz and Aurobindo, they say that their stock varies from day to day and whatever the supplier sends to them that day is what I get. How screwed up is that? ## That is the way it always has worked. You can't order specific generic brands from the pharmacy, and they can't promise you anything. Do yo...
