oxazepams a really crappy benzo imo - kids get prescribed it a fair bit cause its pretty weak
Real talk bro. Also I notice it seems to be the benzo most prescribed to older ladies in my area. A lot of old ladies I know get 15 and 30 mg oxazepam for everything ranging from insomnia to managing chronic alcohol dependencey.
I used to use it for benzo withdrawal. Even when I was really sick 240-300 mgs of oxazepam would work very good and relieve all my symptoms....though it often took about an hour and a half to 2 hours until I felt completely better, even with sublingual dosing, compared to 15-20 minutes it took me to feel full wd relief after sublingual alprazolam.i was taking usually, anywhere from 6-10 mgs of alprazolam or clonazepam typically twice to 3 times daily. And oxazepam was able to hold me until I could get my benzos of choice.
I also think Diazepam is great and under appreciated by most. It had great effects though, and when taken everyday it accumulates from the long half life and u will have long lasting relief of the symptoms you are taking benzos for imo, whether it be for dependency/maintenance/taper, anxiety, skeletal-muscle issues etc.
I think the benzo conversion charts are a little misleading this way by putting 10 mgs of diazepam as 0.5 mgs of alprazolam...while true for initial one time dosing, I'm sure it changes when it comes to chronic everyday use. I was admitted to the hospital with a severe dependencey on alprazolam and clonazepam.
Like I said I typically took 20-30 mgs of either/or per day, sometimes more if a darknet order came in. So they kept me for almost a month,27 days or something, and they stabilized me on a once daily dose of 100 mgs of diazepam. Which according to most charts is 5 mgs of alprazolam or clonazepam. I thought no way it would hold me. and it was kinda rough at first when I had to build up to the 100 mgs, but after just a few days my withdrawal was completely controlled, and truth be told I even got a good buzz as they would dose my Diazepam and methadone at the same time every morning. (One nurse left and returned explains she thought the dose was supposed to be 10 mgs p.o and there was a typo extra 0 on the doctors orders as she'd never seen 100 mgs before I guess.....another refused to give me my methadone and Valium together saying the doses were to high until she spoke to the doctor)
The downside was, it took me 2 years to taper off the Diazepam, but it worked great for suppressing my withdrawal, relieving my anxiety and social discomfort, I slept excellent every night. And the effects seemed to last around the clock.....maybe try it out in equipotent doses of what u take of xanax and see how u like it for ur symptoms
