This is the only medication I have found that actually eases my stomach cramping. I have suffered from irritable bowel for 15 years and am very glad to have found this medicine. The only downfall is drowsiness. Published: October 28, 2007 ::

This medication has truly saved my life. I had no quality of life before Librax. I was constantly in and out of the hospital, not to mention the bathroom. I can now eat whatever I want with not pain, cramping or 30 trips to the bathroom. It is amazing!!! Published: January 23, 2008 ::

Didnt like the medicine. It made me feel very strange, almost like I had been drinking. Wouldnt sugguest unless you must have it. Published: October 24, 2007 ::

Just an FYI for those who suffer from one ot the 'adverse or side effect' of Librax.. Note this drug contains 5mg of Librium with each tablet. Librium is an anti-anxiety med, similar to Valium, a benzodiazipine and is prescribed in 5-10mg doses to be taken 3-4x/day for mild to moderate anxiety (stress) Librium is also used to control the symptoms associated from alcohol withdrawl. Common side effects (not allergic reactions) are: -drowsiness, lethargy, confusion, dizziness -nausea, constipation -potential for abuse One should be careful when first start taking this medication until one knows how the drug affects them and one shouldn't mix it with alcohol, as alcohol can increase the severity of any side effect. (Again, side effects are not 'allergic reactions' (an allergic reaction has a systemic effect of one's body=rash, difficulty in breathing, et al) If can't tolerate the side effects or they are bothersome, one should ask your doctor for a different medication to take, as there are other meds readily available, which will be as effective but without the side effect of drowsiness. (Bentyl and Levsin SL work well for abdominal cramping) Have a good day. Just a FYI as stated, for those wondering why the drug makes them feel: drowsy, tired, lagging, drugged, etc. Published: December 02, 2008 ::

Ive had IBS since July 1989. My doctor put me on librax as soon as he diagnosed me and told me welcome back to living normal.. I take it as needed and for almost 20 years.. this drug has done wonders for me Published: July 29, 2008 ::

This took 4-5 weeks to work for me but now I can live a normal life before I could not leave the house as I needed the toilet all the time Published: December 31, 2007 ::

I have a spastic colon and esophageal spasms. Librax works well for the spastic colon, but not the other. I am still looking for something that will ease the terrible pain in my chest. Stress is one cause but it is not easily removed from my life. Has anyone else out there had esophageal spasms and found a medicine that will help with the pain? Published: August 21, 2008 ::

I suffer with Irritable Bowel Syd....and also I have, Systemic Mastocytosis (too many "mast" cells) there are times that I would be unable to function if not for Librax..lets me live my life along with many other drugs....at least I can do want I want, most of the time!

i have had problems with intense stomache pain and cramping i tried everything this is a miracle drug Published: March 24, 2009 ::

This has been the most helpful medicine prescribed for my IBS. I take it as needed, up to 4 capsules per day, and have never had a problem with dependence or side effects, except for slight dry mouth and urinary retention (tolerable). Much more effective for me than Donnatal. Published: July 24, 2008 ::
