 5  Anxiety None but low dose of 10mg 3x per day. Big difference from Ativan or Xanax. Not as strong but seems to always be at the same level. I really like this drug because I have never had to increase the dosage and it's cheap. M 12 years

 5  anxiety Calm/well-being feeling Works very well in maintaining a calm feeling all day long without the terrible drop off effects that Xanax did for me. Xanax made me have more anxiety just knowing when I go out to events/daily duties that take hours, I knew it may wear off during those times. Xanax has done that. Libruim never does this because of its half life. I can trust I can go out and social situations without it leveling off into a possible panic attack. It is cheap in generic and lasts all day. That is comforting. Also, no side effects when stopping for a few months. Highly recommended for chronic, social anxiety and should prevent panic attacks all day. Slight feeling of drowsiness, however, better than feeling a racing, panicked mind daily. F 27 4 months

 3  anxiety I just wanted to mention that there are withdrawal symptoms you will experience when you get off this stuff. I took 1 or 2 a day for a couple months. It's been about a week since I took one and I'm still feeling weird, really tense and easily irritated with heart racing a bit. M 28 2 months

 4  Detox off Klonopin Unholy vertigo/dizzyness if taken on empty stomach, otherwise nothing else really. No sedation at all I was on Klonopin for over a year and a half at 4 0.5mg tabs/day. My new psychiatrist wanted to get me off Klonopin to see how I functioned without it for awhile. So to minimize the excruciating withdrawal effects, he prescribed a 10-day diminishing regimen of Librium (4/day x2 days, 3/day x2 days, etc). After two days of SEVERE Klonopin withdrawal, within an hour of taking the first Librium dose (with two bowls of soup) I felt amazing because the withdrawal vanished and I felt human again. The next few days were hell because I have NEVER experienced vertigo/dizzyness/nausea on such a massive scale that would last literally all day, and I couldnt leave the house bc I wasnt comfortable driving. I'd turn my head and the entire room went with it I was so dizzy. In order to just walk around my apartment, if I didn't have both hands firmly on something and taking baby steps VERY slowly, I'd fall over and lose my balance. So I quickly learned to eat something bland like some crackers or just one piece of bread 5 minutes before taking it, and strangely when I did this I was completely fine. Never had anything make me so sick in my entire life. It did fortunately take the edge off the coming-off of Klonopin, and severely eased the withdrawal symptoms; it didn't fully erase them, but instead of being catastrophic (I literally couldn't leave the house before this) the Librium really eased the process to the point where I could still mildly feel withdrawal symptoms but they wer M 29 10 days

 5  GAD slight increase in hunger, nothing else to speak of As an individual, Librium works very well for what I take it for. For severe, crippling panic, I would not recommend this drug. It's effects are very subtle and are perfectly suited to treat low level chronic anxiety. As with most anxiolytics, dependency is an issue, and should not be overlooked. That said, please avoid those people/sites that say their lives were 'ruined' by a pill, have severe and permanent damage and that these drugs should be banned. Be responsible for your actions, follow your doctors directions and live healthily. Hope my opinion helps. M 30 5 years

 5  Generalized Anxiety D/o Mild Constipation at higher doses especially when taken on empty stomach. Higher doses will also deplete serotonin with prolonged administration so you might encounter 'the blues' if not on serotonergic AD. After ten years of alprazolam therapy for Panic Disorder c Agoraphobia, GAD, and PTSD (2-2.5mg QID -- 8 to 10mg daily for ten years), it was proposed that I might no longer have Panic D/o, and a titration was begun - In about one year, I had made it down to 4mg alprazolam, and there was no problem. Below the 1.5mg [div TID] mark, I experienced instability with anxiety, but found alprazolam to be complicated in terms of onset time and duration and sleep alteration now that I no longer had panic d/o. I had also started a high dose of fluvoxamine CR and clomipramine, which caused GI upset and diarrhea [nothing serious, but extremely uncomfortable]. I found myself in Mexico and unable to find a practitioner who would prescribe alprazolam. Instead I received mega doses of bromazepam and diazepam way above the mark - alprazolam was not popular save for occasional use (i.e., a blister of ten tablets intended for one year), and strong panic was brought to clonazepam but any dose above 4mg a day was, in this part of Mexico at any rate, a case no one wanted to deal with and the norm in the region, the clinics and hospitals of which I had turned to on too many occasions merely for medication, was, frankly treatment with phenobarbital for those with low/er income, accompanied by amitriptyline and phenothiazines to cover all bases -- those with dispensable income or insured privately, could afford complex therapies crafted by expensive psychiatrists or psychopharmacologists. I called my M 30 3 months

 5  severe alcohol withdrawal Drowsy, very sleepy. Foggy head. I found eating before I take it helps me not become so tired after dosing. It saved My life from dt's. I tried to taper from booze, didn't work. Had a seizure. Don't try and do it alone. This is a life saver. M 30 2 days

 3  major anxiety/panic disorder some drowsiness I take 150mg/day and I haven't really found it to help as much as I need it to. It definitely helps enough to get through the day but I can still feel some anxiety trying to push it's way through. The first day I took it I felt very out of it and almost drunk. That was only the first day. Since then, it seems to be working better and better each day but it's still not quite strong enough. I am no longer having anxiety or panic attacks but the general anxiety symptoms are still slightly there. It may take awhile for this med to work properly and it's possible I just need to give it more time. F 31 11 days

 5  Chronic anxiety Minimal. Although benzos are supposed to be scary for stoppage, you can taper this med down over weeks easily. Only side efect is return of anxiety. Developed in !960 and in my opinion, the safest and best benzo. Take it. Nothing to worry about. Taken it on and off for years. M 32

 5  Augment Anticonvulsant I take this with depakote er and it works great. It allows me to take less depakote and it does not slow me down like valium or knock me out like xanax. Of all the benzo's I have tried this is the best. 10mg 3x a day does the trick M 34 7 years
