Which Medicine Is The Best Alternative For Serepax While Taking Cymbalta?

I have been on serepax for 30 yrs and have to go off it as a lot of docs in Aus will not prescribe it any more. I need a substitute that works as well that we are allowed to get. It is the only thing that works for me . Iam also On Cymbalta ... Jenny I am in Medicare - I don t pay .

Hello
Welcome here.
Serepax (oxazepam) is benzodiazepine drug and is used to induce sleep and reduce anxiety.
Drugs from same class like ativan, klonopin, xanax can serve the same purpose but all these are prescription drugs.
You can talk to your doctor about this.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
