Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "The generic of Librax is available, but only one manufacturer is making it, so it’s hard to find and expensive. My insurance won’t pay for it now, even though I’ve been taking it for years, and two years ago they paid for it. It’s ridiculous the FDA took the brand Librax off the market! It’s the only thing that works for my IBS diarrhea, no other med compares. I paid $240 for a 90-day supply using a discount card. Please don’t get rid of this drug!!"

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "This has definitely helped my irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, which are horrible gas pain and foul-smelling flatulence. It is not perfect, and I did go off it to try Linzess, but that did not work at all, so I went back to Librax. I have started adding Miralax and Citrucel because I think this IBS may be constipation-related. I take 2-3 per day."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have Crohn's 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."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I've dealt with IBS for over a decade. I have tried diet changes, fiber, and pretty much every other IBS medication available. This is the only drug that gives me my life back. It stops the painful spasms and diarrhea. Unfortunately, even though this is an older, generic medication, someone bought the rights to it and the price has been climbing for years. My insurance quit covering it, and a month's supply can easily exceed several hundred dollars. Lately, I've had trouble finding Librax, with pharmacies telling me there is only one manufacturer and they are not currently making it. I seriously hope they don't permanently stop making this drug. It is a lifesaver."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I too had not eaten in almost a year. Bentyl was painful, and other medicines made me ill. Librax saved my life. I lost 50 lbs, and I was not heavy. My problem now is extreme stress keeps me on this medicine. When I can find work or sell the house, when I am not about to lose everything, I hope to get off Librax and Ativan."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Recently started treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The doctor is indeed highly experienced. On medication thrice daily since 2 weeks now. Only issue is drowsiness, don't feel like getting up from bed, even feel like sleeping during daytime. Only physical activity can keep me awake, but still, drowsiness lingers on."

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 gallbladder 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 lifesaver. Even when I had IBS, I couldn't eat the way I can now."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have had irritable bowel syndrome since childhood. Bad thing was all doctors thought my symptoms were amebiasis, but from an internet search, I met a doctor. I have to praise him as he prescribed me this medicine, one daily before bed. My problem was solved for 10 days, which I've been suffering from for 15 years."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Sell your soul. This is the hands-down best medicine for IBS; it is perfect for the first few months. As soon as the tolerance to the Librium catches up to you, then you get the bill, Google Librax withdrawal. Withdrawing from a benzodiazepine is pure hell (I am in it). If you must do it, go for two weeks to get relief and then stop."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Enterocolitis "I have had stomach cramps that caused me to pass out from pain when I was around 14 years old. Tried a few different meds without success. Librium and Librax together worked perfectly for over 35 years, but now the doctor will not prescribe the two together as they contain a small amount of Librium in the Librax. I can't figure out why they say 'do no harm' when this worked perfectly for a large portion of my life. I am now 72 and need to get back to what actually worked. Tried Hyoscamine. Not even similar to what works in my system. Why do the newer doctors not understand when this has been prescribed by other doctors and the results were just perfect?"

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Enterocolitis "I had to have my gallbladder removed in Dec. 2012 after two months of nausea and vomiting, pain, and weight loss. Like one of the other reviewers said, I too became chronically ill again about a month after surgery and could barely eat and started dropping weight again. I also had chronic nausea and diarrhea. My doctor put me on Librax, and it has changed my life. Within 48 hours after I started taking the medicine, all of my symptoms disappeared, and I started having real hunger pangs again and have been able to eat. Still can't eat whatever I want and have to monitor my fat intake. I only take the medicine at dinnertime, and occasionally I need one during the day. It has worked wonders at helping my body recover from the surgery."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Recently diagnosed with IBS (D) after months of pain and significant weight loss, 30+ lbs. Hyoscamine didn't help much, Librax does, but the side effects for me are awful. After 2-3 days on it, I develop severe headaches which do not abate no matter what pain relief I use. If I continue to take it, it then triggers days and days of crippling migraines. So at the moment, I take it on and off to keep the side effects down."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have been taking generic Librax for about 9 years. It works up to a point, but is certainly not a cure for IBS. After eliminating nearly everything from my diet and taking Librax 4 times per day, I still have episodes where I cannot stop going to the bathroom. I have to turn to lamotil to stop the urge, even with the Librax. As someone mentioned, it has benzodiazepines in it, which take some time to get used to, but after a couple of months, you will only notice that your sense of balance is somewhat compromised. You should never stop taking Librax cold turkey. The withdrawal of the sedative is absolutely horrible. I tried to stop cold turkey once, and it was a terrible mistake. The drug is fairly effective at reducing the D."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have had IBS for 29 years. Started after the birth of my first child. I have been prescribed Librax for the past 15 years. It is definitely a lifesaver. I only take it when needed, and it works within 30 minutes. I will say I have been in public countless times and had a traumatic “blowout!” Probably should take it daily. As far as cost, my insurance covered it in the past, but today I start Medicare... One prescription lasts me a long time, thank goodness!"

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I use Librax as per the advice of my doctor treating my IBS, which is characterized by severe occasional cramps and huge loose motions/diarrhea. But I also have confusion as regards which is more effective, rifaximin or Librax? Though the two are different types, rifaximin is an antibiotic."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have been using Librax for my IBS for more than 20 years. I have recently been told it is no longer going to be covered by my insurance and they moved the drug to a different class. My doctor is looking for a substitute, but I'm not crazy about the new medication that has a lot of side effects. I don't understand how this happened."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Enterocolitis "It works! That's why insurance won't pay! Shame on them! I took this medication when it first came out in 1966, and I was 8 years old. Don't know why it was stopped, but suffered all my life with gastric issues. I am now 63 years old, and I can tell you this medication, Librax, is the only medication that works."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I've been taking this med for a spastic colon and to prevent spastic colitis attacks for the past 25 years. It does a great job at controlling my spastic colon. Recently, it has been hard for me to get due to the fact that my insurance went from $35.00 for a 3-month supply of 3 times a day. Now all of a sudden, starting in January, it went to over $1000.00 for my meds. SMH. I don't understand how a med that is as old as Librax or generic is now unaffordable, and now I'm back to facing bowel movements about 10 times a day because the price suddenly skyrocketed. I wish someone could explain how this can be the reality of a generic drug in today's standard of the pharmacology world. No other med has ever worked as well for me. SMH, feeling so frustrated."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Enterocolitis "Yes, I agree, like the other reviews say, it works very well. So now I order it from overseas, very cheap, and get it within a week. The newer doctors are pushed by pharmaceutical companies to prescribe the new medicines, and in turn, they get bonuses and other things. The sad truth is it's more about making money than real healthcare anymore."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Librax is one of the only two medications that have ever worked for alleviating symptoms of my IBS mixed. The other is Lomotil. Due to opioid problems that some nitwits have, I was taken off Librax and first put on Levbid, which does nothing at all to help, and then Bentyl, which isn't much better than Levbid. I want to be put back on Librax and Lomotil, which work because I'm pretty dang miserable without them."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "Librax is a very powerful drug. Great deal of care should be practiced while taking it. I was on it for over a year. Now the doctor is tapering me off to put me on Bentyl. He told me that there were no withdrawal side effects. What a crock. I am experiencing brain zaps, loss of energy and appetite, stomach upset, and constipation. Hoping this goes away soon. All drugs have side effects regardless of what the doctor says. Be very careful if you take this drug."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium "I am 63, and Librax was approved by the FDA in 1966. I was 11 at the time. I had severe abdominal cramping at the time, which stopped me in my tracks. The doctor put me on the new drug. I did not know until now that it had benzodiazepine in it. I feel sad that I took it when I was so young, and I do not think there were a lot of studies back then. I wonder now if Librax, for me, was the beginning of addiction in general. I will ever know and did not think of it until I was asked about my youth. I am very happy that it is available and works for many. Who will ever know."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I had a problem with esophageal spasms in the 90s. There was a feeling that food was getting stuck in my throat, and I lost 50 lbs! Librax cured this condition, and as a upshot effect, loose bowel issues are minimized compared to previous experience."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "OMG. You name it. Bloating, in the stomach area right under my rib, there was burning, extreme pain & discomfort. It was tender to the touch. There was a tightness & feeling of fullness in that area. I was fatigued. Then came severe stomach cramps throughout my abdominal area. It felt like my entire torso was cramped up bad. Very uncomfortable & painful. It jeopardized my job. Many mornings the pain & cramps were so bad I could not go to work. Diarrhea, constipation, defecating all types of colors, textures, and consistencies. Absolutely horrible. First, I was given pantoprazole, acid reducer, and Bentyl, stomach muscle relaxer, which did absolutely nothing. Then Chlordiazepoxide/Clidinium, which solved my problem. My prayers were answered. It's a magic pill."
