Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Oxazepam has several significant side effects for people over the age of 65. These include memory loss, poor cognition, confusion, delirium, falls, fractures, dizziness, and significant fatigue. I would avoid taking this medication at your age, and instead explore alternatives such as an antidepressant or gabapentin.
