 1  Anxiety in hospital after heart att It gave me a horrendous migraine. I was in horrible pain and as soon as they stopped it, I was fine (after it wore off). I never get migraines, so it was definitely the cause. I'd never take it again and I'm surprised others don't seem to be having this reaction. F 67 2 days

 1  IBS Headache, stopped urinating, burning sensation on the skin, nightmares, ringing in my ears, horrible heart palpitations when waking up, I took only 5mg in the evening and I was not able to think clearly until 2pm next day. If I have taken 40 mg as recommended - I would have been dead! Start with very small doses if you want to try this poison. F 61 3 days

 4  Anxiety, racing thoughts, hot flash Racing thoughts and anxiety are gone. Hot flashes are gone. My tight muscles are more relaxed. I'm sleeping much better. I think I' make the mistake of taking in an empty stomach in the am, so I tend to feel like I'm walking on jello. But I'm alert and I have good energy but not crazy energy. I feel I must be sure to eat before taking in the mornings. This is changing my life for the better but I know as with all meds like this, the day will come when I will have to taper off. So this scares me. I don't want to have to withdraw from anything again. I wish I could control my own emotions. F 58 2 days

 2  alcohol outpatient detox Feeling clumsy and dizzy. I don't think this is due to alcohol dependence because I was the the once a month binger type. I have to stop b/c my gallbladder was removed due to stones and drinking puts way too much stress on my liver. After an allnighter, I got really sick, so they assumed my BAL was so high because I had tolerance. My liver simply couldn't get rid of the toxin. It doesn't seem to do anything for me but as I said dizziness and feeling clumsy on my feet. I also got a mild hand tremor. After all the issues of getting sick, being undressed by male nurses in an ER, not being secured in bed so I rolled off-I don't think I will be swinging by a bar anytime soon. I do know it is the usual course (that or Klonopin or Ativan) so I hope it helps people. F 55 4 days

 4  Anxiety, Tremors, Hypothalmic Disor No real side effects. Helps GREATLY with tremors, anxiety and sleeping. I developed a central nervous system disorder after being diagnosed with Addison's Disease (failing adrenal glands)and a hypothalmic dysfunction. I was taking 2-3 Librax a day for 3 years then tapered off for about 3 months and quit. I'm considering going back on it because the original symptoms have returned with a vengence. I've been completely off it for 2 months. However, in the meantime I'm having a good combo doctor (M.D. and homeopath) run some more tests to try and determine root causes of symptoms, as well as balance all my hormones (female, thyroid and adrenal)and check for deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.

 5  alcohol withdrawals / alcoholism kinda like an weak antidepressant to people who dont take those, loss of imagination, no dreams or just very simple ones.. nothing major at this lowest dosage i tried to taper down alcohol addiction for 6 months with no notable result, i got myself down from 1liter of vodka a day to 3 beers but that only worked if i drink a half a beer every 3-4 hours all day and night long , for a life of me i could not get lower, after the last half beer waited 4 hours tupe 1 single pill , in 30 minutes all symptoms were gone , went to sleep and the 1st time in months i had a full night sleep of 10 hours, waking up still zero withdrawal symptoms nor cravings.. it was a life like magic for me M 48 1 days

 4  Anxiety Sedation and diziness I have been in my local hospital for detox 3 times in the last 3 years for a somewhat unique issue. I suffer cycles of severe anxiety/depression and when I do, I use a bit too much of oxycodone to try and quell it. It never works and causes me more anxiety. So I go to detox so I can go off it and get rest and relaxtion. This time, the doctor used librium for me at night. This is what he gives to the alcoholics and it seems to help them so much. I have to say, it is the only drug that finally worked and knocked my anxiety right out and allowed me to sleep. I suffer from chronic insomnia and this cycle caused me complete terror to go to bed. I finally slept like a baby and had no middle of the night waking up in a panic with confusion and depersonaliztion. It is way to sedating for me to take regularly as I feel it all day the next day. But it may be something I can use for emergency usage when I do not have to do anything the next day. Cant tell you how glad I am to not suffer from nonstop anxiiety for 10 hours a day that I let go for 80 days straight, M 42 7 days

 4  Esophageal spasms No bad side-effects to mention. My newly diagnosed GERD showed its initial obvious symptoms as breathlessness which turned out to be spasms in my lower esophagus. After an endoscopy to do biopsies and stretch my esophagus, I needed a stronger medicine and Librium ( as well as a simple diet) has worked beautifully! My spasms have decreased 80%. I only take 1 pill before dinner...also use Gaviscon after smaller meals. F 42 60 days

 1  Anxiety Emotional blunting, lack of libido, apathy, sensitivity to light, cognitive issues This medication, along with all other Benzodiazepines are absolute Hell to withdraw from, if i knew half of what i know about these so-called "medicines" i would never have gone near it, my GP said this was mild, now i know better, i am taking 18 months to discontinue this drug, withdrawal symptoms are horrific and cause anxiety that is far worse. Avoid these drugs, they are not worth it. M 41
