Serax (Oxazepam) is supposed to be a relatively mild & short-acting benzo. I have been on it for insomnia before, and it works nicely at pretty low doses & has little hangover effect and side effects. Good luck!
--L.> Anyone know of a good sleep med that doesn't completely zonk you? I mean one that will help you sleep but not give you a major drug hangover the next day. I've tried Ambien before and it was OK but if it was past a certain time I couldn't take it or I'd be zoned. My insomnia is the type where I fall asleep OK but wake up 2-4 hours later. Sometimes I get into a pattern where I go to bed..doesn't matter what time but always wake up at 2am. Lately (past week) I've been waking up off and on throughout the night but actually wide awake any time between 4 and 6 am. I usally don't get up till about 6:45pm. I've been trying to go to bed earlier hoping that I can get in a couple more hours before midnight but I am such a night owl by nature...I haven't managed to get to bed before 11 so far.
