Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) "I used it for almost 20 years now for the IBS . It is perfect during stress times. Lately helped me a lot with prostate pain, but I notice that it shouldn't taken with enlarged prostate. I'm so confused! Any one can help ."

"I have been diagnosed with IBS and starting taking the generic form of Librax almost 2 months ago. My stomach pain and issues have almost been completely eradicated. This pill definitely improves my quality of life. There is some annoying side effects including dry mouth, but they are worth it."

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) "I have been taking Librax for over 40 years. Most of the time, one at night. Foods make me sick to my stomach. I've noticed no side effects with Librax except do not drink alcohol! I did once. Never again. I had 2 beers and felt like I drank 8 and passed out. Librax does the job. No complaints. Anyway, librax has gotten so expensive. I called CVS and it is now up to $1,500 for 60 pills!!!! My health insurance will not pay for it. I have taken Donnatol which helped but I prefer Librax or the generic version. Actually, I cannot find Librax at any pharmacy near me for many years, just the generic. I am a Senior Citizen and cannot pay $1,500. I do not understand why it is so expensive."

The pain is completely gone."

"chlordiazepoxide with clidinium is the only drug that stopped my symptoms. I do control what I eat and sometimes engage in things I should not eat. Always small amounts. This medicine really improved my life. And a better quality of life."

"Librax (chlordiazepoxide/clidinium) is the only med that has helped IBS-D. Diagnosed about 25 years ago. Maintenance of 2 daily works until flare-up, then 4 daily. Anxiety, stress, and some food cause flare-ups. Nothing else has worked! No side effects. Insurance does not cover, use drug cards or coupons. Harder to find either."

Librax (chlordiazepoxide / clidinium) "This is the ONLY medication that helps for my irritable bowels. I also have acid reflux and anxiety. It is now NOT a controlled substance as it shouldn’t be. I take it before every meal. Bentyl and hyoscamine were way too painful. Librax is gentle to my sensitive system. Yes, I changed my diet and lifestyle too. Ask your doctor, the Valium in it slows the smooth muscle in the colon. Does not get me “high.” Some doctors need to learn more pharmacology. However, you will need prior authorizations because it is not cheap. I fought to get it covered and you should too. I also do not drink alcohol on this medication. So if you cannot stop drinking, this is not for you."
