Question about Librax

Postby cdaleguy » Fri Mar 03, 2017 2:20 pm

My question is for those who have taken Librax after having c diff. My GI started me on it yesterday and I'm really not wanting to take it but after Bentyl didn't do much she wants this. I took my first dose last night before bed. I woke up to go pee in the night and was super loopy and seemed pretty dizzy. I only intend to take it at night. Does anyone remember how long it took those side effects to stop? I don't want a benzo med but she's convinced I need to give this a try to see if it settles my gut. I think they'd also really like to make me chill out in general but I wish them lots of luck with that.

I think you should listen to your Dr and follow her advice.
Taking meds not as instructed won't make you better.

Did you test negative? I've never taken Librax so can't help. Did you ask about questran or colestipol?

So far I am still testing negative. D has mostly given way to loose. Still occasional D. They retested today on a whole list of stool samples they were doing for other things (trying to rule out absolutely everything before settling on IBS.) I submitted seven specimens this morning.

I was on Librax for a couple of months 3 times per day and it helped , felt improvement right away , but because it stoped working i had to go back on Xanax , i went off of it cold turkey and had ZERO withdrawal. It may be a sedating at the beginning of treatment but as after a week or two it will get better. One pill of Librax per day might not be enough to help your symptoms , listen to your doctor and take the proper dosage.
