hey all
well ive just got my hands on some oxazepam the lable on the bottel says alepam 15.i love my benzo's i could probaly eat 15mg of valium in a day.
so my quistens are
1.is it anything like valium?
2.what is it gonna do to me?
3.how safe is it?
4.whats the most i could take at once.
5.can i get off my face on it????
 
It is like other benzos, just stronger (which increases the potential for overdose) and of longer duration. Good find.

If you can only dose with 15mg of valium.... then 30mg of oxazepam would be a responsible recreational dose and would likely get you nice and high.

^Perhaps it was, but I will not calculate and suggest a possible overdose for someone based on an assumption.

k well i had 1 about a 2 hours ago feels alright but not as intense as i'de like it it just feels like i just had 5mg of valium.but it is lasting long its not too bad i gessue
 
according to wikipedia and what i suspected oxazepam is half as potent as diazepam... 10mg valium=20mg oxazepam

Really? I always thought oxazepam was stronger. I will edit my posts, because I trust Phatass' word on benzos.
 
oh yeah also forgot to say i had 5mg of valium about 3 hours before taking the oxazepam i will probally have 2 more tonight i think that will get me to where i want to be :P
 
Oxazepam Really isn't that good, i'm going to pick up 60-30mg pill's and i'll have to take 4 just to fell alittle something. So then i'll get home and take 2 more and still pretty much nothing, but the next 2 will just make me fall asleep.................so they pretty much Suck (and i am talking the 30mg ones)..............dude just stay with the valium 10mg, those will do the trick!

According to most equivalence charts, 10mg diazepam = 20mg oxazepam, although I find both to be quite weak, and would rather say 30mg ox is about 10mg diaz. They are both principally anxiolytic, although oxazepam is significantly shorter in duration. Oxazepam is an active metabolite of diazepam so many of the effects are quite similar.

Oxazepam is generally considered one of the weakest benzos and of all the ones I have tried (alprazolam, nitrazepam, midazolam, clonazepam, temazepam, diazepam, oxazepam - I think that's it) it is by far the weakest.

Everyone reacts differently but I personally think it's quite shit except for sleeping/hangovers/comedowns unless nothing else is available - I don't have regular anxiety issues to rectify. Measure it by your diazepam tolerance by thinking 10mg of diazepam is about 20-30mg of oxazepam, and take your dose based on that. If I recall correctly it also starts affecting quite quickly so you can always redose (although redosing on benzos, as everyone knows, often leads to trouble).
 
oxazepam is relatively weak benzo (compared to others in its 3-hydroxy group ie. temazepam, lorazepam, lormetazepam) and i'm not talking about mg basis (that has nothing to do with it).
However, although it has weak effects and takes a long time for it to kick in, it still a nice benzo when the correct amount is taken.
it's like a diazepam lite.
 
Serax is a short-to=mod. acting benzodiazepine, which must be dosed 3-4 times a day for effect. Even though its method of therapeutic action is short, it is mild on the liver, compared to most other benzodiazepines. In a high range index, say 120 , the rec'd FDA MAX QD or for most of us a bit above that, it causes mild euphoria in most individuals. It's simply not too easy to obtain in the US as the SERAX name is now defunct and only the generic oxazepam is produced, which, by SANDOZ, is no different at all than the one from the days of yore, just not as pretty. And oddly, as the dosage increases, the capsules are smaller [the 30mg capsule is tiny and the 15 is about twice as big]. It has to accumulate in the body first in order for it to be 'felt'.

it's also one of the least addictive benzodiazepines. and is used, by many old skool psychiatrists who had experience with it back when it was very popular, to wean benzoheads off benozheading by administering something that is an actively functionining bzdp without common myorelaxant effects, some opiate-like feelin's and this bizzare quality to take , say a dose of 15 at which most people would just laugh and laugh....and reduce sleep onset latency dramatically by lying down in a cool, quiet, comfortable, darkened room, even with a mind full of doubt and hesitation and all that....and finding yourself sweetly asleep minutes later, and up about 7 hours later without hangover. It's also perfect for treatment of opiate, alcohol, cocaine, and amphetamine abuse. Yes it's the forgotten panacea. In certain countries its the n umber one forged benzo prescription, and in some lands its banned...!!!!!!

try it out, its an acquired taste. dont listen to all the hype.; besides...i think EVERYTHING i've ever tried that had an X in the name, maybe c the exception of Librax, ....metaxalone...and thiothixene [the latter being one i never tried but im most certain i'd not love it]....has been quite interesting.

Note that Oxazepam is one of Diazepam's main metabolites, meaning that the sum total of diazepam's effects includes the effects of oxazepam as well as Temazepam and Nordazepam (its other main metabolites), and the Diazepam itself. This means that Oxazepam on its own will invariably be weaker than an equivalent dose of Diazepam.
 
Oxazepam is subtle but it's alot better then lorazepam which i can't feel anything off at any dose and it's better then alprazolam which i hate. But that is just me.

I would rank it higher then lorazepam for me but lower then clonazepam. It mixes really well with temazepam (my personal fav) i gotta say that much about oxazepam.

And yes it's half as potent then diazepam going by the charts.

Temazepam itself actually results in Oxazepam as a metabolite, IIRC. It could be that you really enjoy the synergy between the two, hence the need to supplement with oxazepam.

I believe that Flurazepam works entirely through the synergy of its metabolites, being rather inactive in and of itself. That's why it taks a while to get therapeutic effects from it and why these effects last way too long.

Umm oxazepam is the weakest excuse for a benzo on the market. They gave them to me in rehab and I had to take 7 at a time to feel anything, and even then I didn't feel it all that much.

Edit sorry for the necro, my bad.
