I just returned from picking up the Oxazepam from the pharmacy and find that this is a med to treat alcohol abuse and anxiety. the MD is giving this as a sleeping medication. I do not use alcohol and a do not have anxiety. after reading what this is for we are concerned as I am 83 and it indicates it should be used w caution. I have used sleeping meds for a long time but under concerned doctors. We moved to our present location to be with our son and have just begun going to a MD here in S Florida
