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.

This medication is the only one that relieves the pain of crohns. I do not have to take it everyday or many times even once a week, but when I am in intolerable pain, librax eases pain enough so that I can go about normally.

I have been taking Librax since 1984 for IBS. I tried other medications. But none of them worked. Taking Librax has given my life back and I my IBS symptoms bearable. Without Librax my quality of life would be poor.

I have ibs-d, and I only take this when my cramping gets bad. Just one pill knocks it out and relaxes me and my colon. I can't take too many otherwise I'll have the opposite and be constipated. This is such a good drug.

I was prescribed the generic version of this drug as well as Bentyl. I alternate which one I use - try to take this 1 at night because it is more likely to make me drowsy. Helps alleviate the cramping within 20 minutes. IBS is intermittent & I prefer taking a drug like that is used only when I'm symptomatic. Now that I'm on Medicare, I hope my insurance still pays for it.

I took this medicine 40 years ago and it stopped me from have surgery on my colon. About 4 years ago my colon start acting up again, so I asked my doctor for Librax, he said that's an old drug would you like to try whatever it was, I told him I wanted Librax, because I know it works.

I have been taking Librax 3-4x/day since 1989 and it has worked wonders for me. I don't know where I would be without it. It was prescribed to me by the Mayo Clinic in MN and it's a life saver.

After 2 years of all kinds of tests and suggested medicines, I was diagnosed with IBS. This has been the only medicine (believe me, I tried several!) that has given me any relief. I don't have to worry about what I eat anymore. Haven't noticed any side affects.
