Chlordiazepoxide is the non-proprietary name for a sedative most widely used to help manage anxiety, insomnia, and reduce symptoms of withdrawal from alcohol or drug addiction. Patients more commonly buy Chlordiazepoxide under the brand name Librium.

This medication is in the benzodiazepine class of drugs, and works on the central nervous system (CNS) to produce a calming effect. It can be used in all ages, though children will require modified dosing.

Be aware that this is an effective but potent medication. It carries risk of serious side effects and addiction if misused. In some countries it is a controlled substance. Patients who buy Chlordiazepoxide from Kiwi Drug are solely responsible for understanding and complying with local laws.

Treatment is typically 2 to 4 weeks, but sometimes spans up to 4 months. It almost never exceeds 4 consecutive months, for several reasons:

• Patients build tolerance to Chlordiazepoxide, meaning more of the medication must be taken to acheive the same effect. Higher doses increase risk of severe side effects.
• Chlordiazepoxide is addictive. The longer it is taken, the more likely a patient will develop dependency. Individuals prone to addiction may not want to buy Chlordiazepoxide.
• Use beyond 4 months has not been studied and effects from longer-term use are largely unknown.

Chlordiazepoxide is also used in veterinary medicine. Patients are advised not to buy Chlordiazepoxide meant for humans to use in animals; inactive ingredients can be very harmful to some species.

Treating Anxiety with Chlordiazepoxide

Patients should understand that Chlordiazepoxide is not meant to reduce the routine anxiety that nearly everyone experiences. The medication is meant for severe anxiety that interferes with a patient's ability to function. This can be an unusual event---prior to surgery, or the death of a loved one---or it can be a longer-term problem.

Many factors can influence dosage amount and duration of treatment, not the least of which is the cause of the anxiety. Age, weight, other medications being taken, other medical conditions present, and so forth will all influence a doctor's dosage determination.

As a general rule, to treat anxiety from an event:

• Patients age 16 and up should take 5 to 10 mg three or four times a day.
• Prior to surgery treatment should start several days before surgery is scheduled.
• Following a traumatic event treatment may last several days after.

And treating other types of severe anxiety:

• Patients age 16 and up should start with 5 mg three or four times a day.
• If needed dosage may be increased to 25 mg three or four times a day.
• Duration of treatment typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks, but may (rarely) last up to 4 months.

If Chlordiazepoxide has been taken for more than a couple of weeks treatment should not end abruptly; doing so can produce serious side effects. A doctor can help develop a discontinuation plan that gradually reduces dosage and frequency of administration.

Chlordiazepoxide for Drug & Alcohol Withdrawal

Perhaps the second-most common reason patients buy Chlordiazepoxide is to reduce side effects from drug or alcohol withdrawal. The medication not only reduces anxiety---which can be quite severe---it also reduces or eliminates physical side effects, such as seizures, hallucinations, and so forth. These symptoms can be so negative that it often drives individuals back into drugs or alcohol simply for relief.

For drug or alcohol withdrawal:

• Patients age 18 and up should take 50 to 100 mg per day.
• Dosage may go as high as 300 mg per day at the beginning before dropping back down.
• Do not exceed 300 mg per day.
• Do not exceed 4 consecutive months of treatment.

Chlordiazepoxide usually sees the highest doses and longest use in alleviating withdrawal. It's important that the patient wants to quit before starting treatment; if drugs or alcohol are consumed while taking Chlordiazepoxide, effects will be significantly enhanced which can prove fatal.

Eliminating Insomnia

Patients also buy Chlordiazepoxide to eliminate insomnia. Those taking Chlordiazepoxide often report longer, more satisfying sleep on a regular schedule.

The medication doesn't work for everyone, and can even be detrimental in some types of insomnia. For best results a doctor will be consulted prior to choosing a treatment.

In otherwise healthy adults:

• Start with 5 mg one to three times per day.
• If needed, dosage can be increased up to 25 mg one to three times per day.
• Do not exceed 75 mg per day.

Individual response is quite varied in this use; some patients find a single tablet eliminates insomnia, while others need to take the medication several times a day for a few consecutive days before sleeping well. If there is no significant change in sleep quality after one week of treatment, consult a doctor about other options.

Keep in mind that patients will develop tolerance to this product. After a while even high doses of 25 mg will no longer produce results. In practice some individuals do use the medication much longer than 4 months, but this is not ideal.
