For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I started on this medicine years ago - 4 times a day. MRI showed I spasmed every inch of bowel - horrible pain. Now, I take 2 at bedtime. Has been a life saver, still have episodes but not as frequent. I recommend this to anyone who suffered as I did. It will show up on a drug screen as a benzodiazepine, just make sure you have a script from your doctor. I have insomnia, so it does a double duty, just can't take it during the day and work."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I suddenly started having severe pain and vomiting after eating anything thicker than water. I lost 44 pounds in 2 months. The ER doctor put me on Librax, and I can eat again! This medication saved my life! I continue to take it 3 times a day before meals."

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."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I have diarrhea once a week and cramps. I have nausea, pain in my left abdomen while walking, lost 20 lbs. weight. Different doctors diagnosed me with dysmotility, I was on Mesacol 800 for a year. Then I went to a new doctor, he told me I don't have to take Mesacol and gave me Librax to take at bedtime. I took it and got cramps and diarrhea in the morning for days. Then I stopped taking it. I am confused."
