Synopsis
A sequential trial of Oxazepam (Adumbran) was carried out on 20 psychiatric outpatients with features of anxiety as part of a personality disorder. A 20 mg. dose t.i.d. was compared with placebo. The result suggests that Oxazepam (Adumbran) is an effective minor tranquilizer and a useful drug in the treatment of psychoneurotic anxiety. The drug appears to have negligible side effects.
