Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I have Crohns Disease and irritable bowel syndrome. I have been through a lot getting all this under control. I have been on Librax for about a week and the pain after eating has almost gone away completely. Although I'm very tired and kind of out of it but I am hoping those side effects go away very soon.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I had Irritable bowel syndrome for about 7 or 8 years. Then I got pregnant back in 2007 and haven't had it since. In March of 2008 I had to have my gall bladder removed. About a month after that, I couldn't eat without getting sick. Sometimes it was so bad. I went to my doctor and he wanted me on the Librax (generic) and it's been a life saver. Even when I had IBS I couldn't eat the way I can now.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I have IBS - and I've been taking Librax for about 1.5 months now. I do see a difference. Pain in my stomach and abdomen are gone.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I also have Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. I was started on Librax upon getting my initial diagnosis, took it for several weeks and kept telling everyone how "I've never felt better in my life" and then one day on the way to work I nearly fell asleep behind the wheel of my car on the drive into work. There is a chemical in chlordiazepoxide that has a half-life of over 400 hours, so the 'benzo' part of this medicine can build up pretty quickly. I stopped the medication for awhile and have since gone back on it without any of the previously mentioned problems, but I did cut my dose down from 1 pill every 8 hours to 1 pill every 10-12.....so only 2 pills a day instead of 3. I still get the relief I need, but do not get drowsy at all.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Made me more constipated, and increasingly so, to the point where I'd go 2-3 days without a bowel motion.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I've had irritable bowel syndrome since the 1960s. Librax (started about 1992) stops the spasms that create diarrhea. It also relaxes the gut when it knots up and made me constipated at times. I used to live in clinics, be doubled up with pain-covered, with sweat, and on a highly restricted diet. After 15 years, I can have a cup of coffee in the morning. I can eat dry cereals, eggs and bacon. I hike, can wear light colored pants, sample most foods. I still can't handle sugar, but I can nibble on fries or a salad, eat an occasional apple or peach. Now my problem is continually getting scripts for Librax, because I seem normal. I have real fear about not getting Librax and ending up sicker than a dog.

Review by KKelsey:

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium): I suffer from vocal chord dysfunction during upper respiratory viral infections and find Librax very helpful to relieve vocal chord spasms until the viral infection is cleared up.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I have been taking Librax during periods of high stress when my irritable bowel syndrome would flare up since the early 1980s. I don't take it as prescribed - it's too much. I take one capsule when symptoms flare up and I usually don't need another one. 30 capsules can last me 6 months or until they expire. Librax can cause cotton mouth. I've tried Bentyl and Levsin and they don't work nearly as well on the spasms. I also get esophageal spasms and the Librax does a nice job of stopping them.

chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I tried many different medicines for IBS and then I found Zelnorm and it worked till they took it off the market and then I thought there was nothing I could do but put up with the pain but then I heard about this medicine from a friend and I am so glad I did it is very inexpensive and works great. The pain is completely gone.

chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I have been diagnosed with IBS and starting taking the generic form of Librax almost 2 months ago. My stomach pain and issues have almost been completely eradicated. This pill definitely improves my quality of life. There is some annoying side effects including dry mouth, but they are worth it.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: I have had irritable bowel syndrome since childhhod. Bad thing was all doctors thought my symptoms as amebiasis but from internet search I met a doctor. I have to praise him as he prescribed me this medicine, daily one before bed. My problem solved for 10 days which I'm suffering from 15 years.

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Works great if taken more than ten minutes before eating. Saved my life, had not eaten solid food for 2 years.
