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 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."

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."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium for Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I was suffering from IBS for almost 8 years and didn't know what it was. I lost the quality of my life for years, having stomach pain, cramps, bloating, constipation followed by non-continuous diarrhea. I was desperate and hopeless when one doctor prescribed me this medicine, it really changed my life. I felt like I had never had any stomach problems. This medicine is amazing. I can't find it now from where I live, which is Cambodia, but I want to give a try to one of these other medicines on the list. Hope they'll work like Librax worked for me. Thanks."

Chlordiazepoxide / clidinium 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."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "This has been very effective in managing my symptoms of IBS-D. It helps with intestinal burning, gas, bloating, and diarrhea, etc. I do still have to take Imodium at times. Side effects are not bothersome or have worn off. I have been taking it regularly for years, and if I forget to take a dose, my stomach (or intestines) remind me! It used to be very low cost, which was great. Now it is getting more and more expensive. Medicare does not cover it."
