When people use oxazepam on a general basis, the tiredness goes away, so their reason for using it on us is sort of a non reason anyway.

But yes, I would say it is the most sedating of the daytime type benzos.
I am not totally sure as to what the dose was- I think 10 or 20 mg. I'm going to have to agree with your statement that it is more sedating-the anxiety did not cease, but I felt extremely sluggish, even the next morning as well. That same friend also has bromazepam that she would use for panic attacks- her 'pink pills' she calls them.
