 5  Detox and Anxiety Too deep of sleep so it took me longer to wake up and feel alert. Increased dreaming. No other side affects. I have anxiety, physical symptoms only (sweating dangerous spikes in BP, flushing) for no reason. No SSRI/other benzo helped me so I drank and it helped me a lot to feel calm, but then I became addicted to alcohol. My dr gave me this med for a week and it saved me from the scary withdrawals, it was during when the pandemic started so beds were limited and she said I should really be doing in hospital detox due to the severity of my symptoms, but we did it at home with close monitoring and it removed the symptoms and fear I was going to die. It helped me so much we continued to use it as an anxiety med on lower doses since the detox dose is much higher. I take it twice a day, sometimes only once. The only medication to remove these random physiological episodes of anxiety. Lowered my bp which is high even on a cblocker and being active and a healthy weight. This medication has been a gift to me. I don’t get some sense of feeling medicated or any euphoria, I just finally feel normal. I don’t like the feeling of being medicated. F 38 10 months

 5  Anxiety None. Helps tremendously with anxiety. I sleep better and it also seems to help to lower my bp a bit (I also take medication for hypertension). At this low dose, I am not feeling any side effects. Sometimes take only one per day on weekends. F 61 5 years

 5  Anxiety and depression The worst side effect is it makes me a bit sleepy, which really isn't all that bad. For me librium helps with anxiety depression and it even helps a bit with pain. M 39 3 months

 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

 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  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

 5  Anxiety Some drowsiness at first and still occasionaly. Other times it will actually increase my energy in a methodical way. I agree some what with what the previous poster said. If you have crippling anxiety Librium alone long term is not the answer. I augment my 20mg of Prozac with it and have done so for 8 years and that works. Prozac helps it work better and vice versa. I like it better than the more potent benzos and it has a long half life just like Valium. Look it up. M 37 9 years

 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  Anxiety/Stomach problems/EEG abnorm I really never notice anything. This drug has been a life saver. It helps and does not impair me. Valium made me too drowsy and Xanax was too strong. So was ativan. Sometimes Librium is energizing and it has a long 1/2 life. It has helped with my muscle tension and anxiety for years. I have never had to increase the dose. It's been great.

 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  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
