"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&#039;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&#039;m going on medicare and none of the drug plans includes oxazepam so i&#039;m reluctantly going to ask my doctor to prescribe something similar which is in a plan and hope that it works as well."
