For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "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."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "I will say I am so grateful to be able to get this medicine (Librax). It is the only thing that helps with the abdominal cramping and pain I have in my upper right side. The side effects are minimal. I only take it when needed."

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "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."
