The first benzo my pdoc prescribed for me was Serax, first 10 mg, then 15 mg. I didn't feel much of a difference, but my husband said I seemed much calmer while taking it. The only time I noticed a difference was when I took 20 mg -- I noticed that my neck and shoulders didn't hurt for the first time in quite a while.
The problem with it was that it doesn't last very long -- I think for me it was maybe 3-4 hours. My doctor switched me to Klonopin instead because it is longer lasting. I don't really notice much difference in the effect, though he told me the Klonopin is stronger. I was taking 15 mg Serax and switched to .25 mg Klonopin -- I'm guessing they are roughly equivalent.
