title: Increased aggression in rats after withdrawal of long term used oxazepam.
abstract: The withdrawal of oxazepam (5 mg/kg i.p.) applied for 1 year in rats, increased shock-induced aggression of animals. This phenomenon is interpreted as a sign of abstinence and suggests that long-term treatment causes dependence to oxazepam in rats.
