I have had IBS since the removal of my gallblader. I have tried everything . My Dr. finally put me on Librax and I think that it is going to be the right thing for me. I have only been on it for two weeks and it has helped slow down everything. The only draw back is, that my insurance doesn't pay for it. and it is costly, even in generic.

I have been on Librax for 2-3 years now and it virtually does not help anymore. I have been hospitalized for esophageal spasm, which it does seem to help, but not the IBS.

I have been on Librax for 2-3 years now and it virtually does not help anymore. I have been hospitalized for esophageal spasm, which it does seem to help, but not the IBS. I decided to put myself on a gluten free diet after talking to a person that has gluten allergy. The blood test they do does not detect it. You have to do DNA testing that tracks if you inherited it. Of course medical ins. does not pay for it, but it is worth it. I feel 100% better and the less fiber I eat the better. I know this is not the general rule for IBS sufferers, but I am telling you their thinking is being re-evaulated. It is harder to shop since gluten is in everything, but more and more you can find gluten free items. I have been on it for about 2 weeks and already feel better. I was out of choices since I had been on so many medications all my life and one jerk doctor told me it was all in my head since I am a woman. Give it a try and see if it helps.

Comment:
Very addictive....horrible side effects once you begin reducing dosages. Headaches, nausea, increased anxiety, increased bouts of like symptoms. While on Librax constipation was the most obvious side effect. Would not do this again....It was prescribed by an ER doctor after seeing me for 15 mins with no lab work and a very very brief medical examination.

I am taking the generic and have had IBS for years. It has helped but I plan to discuss with my doctor at our next appointment.
