I just went to a gastroenterologist and he diagnosed me with IBS. He gave me Allign and some antacid and also a prescription for Librax. I was wondering who has tried the Librax and if it helped. Also if there are any side effects I should worry about.
Thanks Tori

" I have been taking Librax for about four years. sometimes I think it works but you can still expect episodes, Not sure how bad your IBS is but I average still about one episode a week and I take four librax. I also take Align and an antacid. The librax is more for the pain in this case. "

" Did you ever try the pamelor? I was wondering about Align also after seeing the ads on tv.
I don't know about Librax but I hope it works for you.
Take care.... "

" Yes I tried Pamelor but it makes me super dizzy. Even when I take it at night all of the next day I am dizzy and feel like I am going to pass out. So it is not right for me. "

" I haven't been on any meds for IBS before except Zelnorm and that was awhile ago.

Has anybody been on Librax and also taken psych meds? I am worried that taking it my interfere with psych meds or limit how much I can take. I read that it is part benzo. Guess I just want to see if anyone is in the same situation and what they are doing...

thanks! "

" Librium has some librium in it. I quit taking it because it made me very drowsy and dopey.
Probably not a good idea to mix it with any psych meds. Talk to your psychiatrist first. "
