Works very well to control severe anxiety. Calming and soothing, doesn't make you feel strung out when the effects wear off. Only issue I had was occasionally feeling dizzy. Published: December 09, 2007 ::

I'VE BEEN ON THIS DRUG SINCE FEB. 2006. I STARTED AT TEN 25MG PILLS A DAY. WEANED DOWN TO TWO 25MG A DAY. HAVE NOTICED THAT IT CAN MAKE ME MORE IRRITABLE, LIKE THE ABOVE POSTER SAID. ANYONE WHO HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ANGER OR IRRITABILITY INCREASE ON LIBRIUM, PLEASE EMAIL ME kristennelsen@peoplepc.com MY DOCTOR SAYS IT IS AN ADDICTIVE DRUG---BUT ONLY IF I ABUSE IT---WHICH I DO NOT. I TRIED TO DETOX OFF OF 50MG A DAY AND ALMOST DIED, MY HEART WAS ON FIRE ACROSS MY CHEST. IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU A "HIGH" FEELING LIKE XANAX AND ATIVAN DID FOR ME, IT DECREASES MY ANXIETY WITHOUT ME EVEN KNOWING IT---WHICH MAKES IT A GOOD AND SAFE DRUG FOR ME. LIKE IT, BUT SCARED I WILL DEVELOP TOLERANCE ON IT. Published: January 07, 2008 ::

This helps with my anxiety, as well as a muscle relaxant. Published: November 19, 2007 ::

Used in doses up to 400mg/day for combat Post Traumatic Stress. Now not available in brand name 25mg caps. After initial high dose tapered down & use as needed. Generic is bad. Published: April 27, 2008 ::

I take 19mg 3x per day along with 500mg depakote to control simple partial seizure and anxiety. I like this drug very much because of the long half life and also because it is less potent than ativan, xanax, etc.. I never have had to increase the dosage. It's cheap and works great.

I recently went to detox for 6 days for alcohol withdrawal. They put me on Librium for 3 days and then continued vitamins for the rest of my stay. I came out completely refreshed. Librium took care of the shakes, nervousness, hallucinations and tremors. My doctor prescribed me 10 mg to have at home when needed for anxiety. Published: April 16, 2008 ::

I have been described 3 types of drugs for serious alcohol withdrawls throughout the years (valium, xanax, and librium). Librium by far been the best for treating withdrawls and the anxiety that goes along with it. I was told by a psychiatrist at a treatment center specializing in alcohol addiction that it is the best for the symptoms of withdrawl and the safest as far its addictive properties. I have been sober for 2 years now and hopefully won't have to go through alcohol withdrawls ever again. Published: March 24, 2009 ::

I was prescribed Librium after I requested to try something different from Klonopin. I didn't find this medicine as helpful as some of the other benzodiazepines. It works, but not in an outstanding way. My pharmacist at the time even asked me, "Does this stuff really work?" I requested to be changed to Ativan, which worked better for me. I was only taking 40 mg./day, so maybe that's why it didn't work as well for me as it has for some other people. Published: July 25, 2008 ::

After years of alcohol abuse I went into treatment and was on 300mg for a while and then gradually weened down off of it .The only thing I did not like was the feeling of not touching the ground while I was walking .Other than that I found it to be very helpful Published: January 15, 2009 ::
