For Alcohol Withdrawal "I have been an alcoholic for over 15 years. Every time I've tried to quit, I ended up having a seizure. I've had over 20 that I can even recall! But I've been sober for 11 days, and Librium saved me! Once I started feeling nauseous, I took two Librium and felt better! I'm telling you from personal experience, do NOT try to detox without medication! If you want to try to get sober, I would recommend Librium over anything else!"

For Alcohol Withdrawal "At 42 years old, I was drinking a fifth of tequila every day even though I have pancreatitis. I lost my job because I couldn't stop drinking because when I did stop, I got the shakes, nausea, and seizures. Thankfully, Librium was the drug that helped me stop and quit this vicious cycle of drinking."

For Alcohol Withdrawal "13 years of drinking a pint of vodka 4 days a week. 14 days ago, haven't had a drink. My doctor prescribed 25 mg of Librium on day 12. Dosage: 50 mg, two times a day, every 8 to 12 hours. Max: 100 mg per 24 hours. Day two: 25 mg every 6 hours, day three: 25 mg every 8 hours, day four: 25 mg every 12 hours, and finally, 25 mg before 'bedtime.' I have a follow-up appointment with the doctor a week after the initial visit for detox symptoms. Also, an intake appointment set up with a well-known outpatient hospital (St Lukes/Mt Sinai, NYC), addiction program, within three days of starting Librium. Librium has taken the severe edge off withdrawal hell. Expect to feel relief, not cured, possibly nauseous, unsteady/heavy legs, as well as tired. ♡"

For Alcohol Withdrawal "I'm 29 and have been to the ER several times, probably about 10 for alcohol intoxication/dependency, and this time the doctor actually got attitude and yelled at me, and that was my wake-up call. I'm also prescribed Xanax for my panic and anxiety, but the Librium is a miracle. Now granted, I didn't drink a lot the last time I went, but having GERD and drinking don't mix either, and I've been taking my 50 mg of Librium for 3 days now, and I feel like a better person. Anyone who over-drinks or wants to stop drinking, I suggest going to the ER, explaining everything to the doctor, and they will most likely give you Librium and also Zofran if you have any nausea. You can become clean, and also going to an outpatient clinic wouldn't be a bad idea either, even though it's almost like therapy. If you relapse, they are able to get you into inpatient detox. Good luck, everyone, and also I strangely enjoyed your stories, lol."

For Alcohol Withdrawal "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."

For Alcohol Withdrawal "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 withdrawal. There was no nausea, minimal anxiety, etc. Helps immensely with alcohol detox."

For Anxiety "So I went to the ER and was given Librium and Zofran for the nausea. It worked great 'til about 3 pm the next day. I still have to take it, but not as often."
