Librium (chlordiazepoxide): This drug got me off alcohol and ALL the withdrawal symptoms in 3 days. I never would have expected such quick results. If you need help with the tremors, anxiety, vomiting and irritability, please ask your doctor for a prescription. I was taking 10mg 3x per day and it was a miracle.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): Amazing! Absolutely NO side effects, took me 3 months and I'm done with alcohol forever. Do NOT drink while you take it. PLEASE try it for our children's sake.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): Unfortunately I am a chronic relapser and have had many alcohol-withdrawal related seizures in the past. Every time I have gone to the hospital they have given me Librium and it absolutely took away all my withdrawal symptoms. No more sweating, shaking, or vomiting. I have asked several doctors in the past to prescribe Librium to me but they have all said that it should be administered at a hospital where I could be monitored. This time around however the hospital sent me home after 7 hrs and gave me a script for 6-25mg. I only took 5 and experienced no withdrawal symptoms what-so-ever and I was a liter of vodka/day drinker. Highly recommend Librium.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): I was into withdrawal one and a half days when I started shaking and feeling anxious. Having already had several seizures due to alcohol I went to my GP who prescribed Librium. Symptoms almost stopped completely after 1 day and after that no symptoms at all. Don't try to stop yourself it's dangerous and could cost you your life.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): My uncle was drinking for over 35 years and after detoxing once before he was doing considerably well. Things took a down hill turn for him and it took us a while to get him the right kind of help. Librium is the way to go. He went from convulsions, shakes, hallucinations - to a few minor discomforts. By now even those are gone. Good bless everyone one of you looking for a way out. It is out there but you must believe in yourself 100%.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): I have serious issues with relapse. Do six months to a year then break out. Have a lovely doctor who gave me Librium and it helps. Makes me dopey but the sweating, the shakes, the empty wretching all abated. Really need to do it this time. I'm so tired of relapsing.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): I hadn't slept in 2 days and this was great. Had some weird dreams but better than the opposite of not sleeping.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): Librium was great for my alcohol detox. While it didn't completely get rid of my shakes it did alleviate the nastier symptoms of my withdrawl. There was no nausea, minimal anxiety etc. Helps immensely with alcohol detox.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): This is the only medicine that is truly effective in regards to indescribable horror that true alcohol withdrawal brings.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): 25 mgs took away the shakes and sweats and helps greatly with anxiety and isn't sedating. It works within hours. This is the medicine to take for withdrawal and anxiety!

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): When I fell off the wagon I was dreading another trip to the ER when I sobered up. I saw my doctor and he prescribed this and it helped immensely. I have really bad panic attacks and my blood pressure skyrockets along with nausea, shakes, sweats, etc. This medicine helped get me off booze twice. Recommended.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): Librium is great. I was going through suicidal withdrawal. Librium stopped that within 3 hours and it lasts a long time.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): I was a very heavy drinker for 7 years. It got to the point to where I was drinking 18-24 beers a night. I would drink right after I would wake up because I'd be shaking. Decided I needed to stop. Went to my doctor and he gave me Librium. He told me I can take up to 300mg a day. I took 125mg each day for 3 days. This medicine worked wonders. I had virtually no withdrawal whatsoever during the 3 days. I recommend this to anyone that wants to quit drinking without going to a detox center.

Librium (chlordiazepoxide): First time I went to an inpatient rehab, thought I was going to die I was so sick, shaking uncontrollably, near hallucinating, and they gave me two tablets of which mg I don't know, and it worked wonders! I took what I imagine to be 25mg every 4-6 hours after that and within 3 days felt great, stayed there 5 days and at day 4 I was ready to get out of there. Unfortunately, I relapsed and binged for a month. This time I did it outpatient and the Dr. gave me 25mg tabs which I took 1 every 4-6 hours the first day and it immediately made me feel 10 times better. Overall the course of 5 days I slowly tapered off and it's what I recommend to anyone wiithdrawing from the sauce.
