Is Librium The Right Medicine For Anxiety Disorder?

I have been on librium since I was19 for anxiety. I am now 74. I use to take 10 MG. 3 times a day. I now only take as needed, which maybe 20 MG about once a week. It really helps me calm down. Now my Dr. wants to take me off of them because of my age. I have never had any side effects. What is your opinion?

Hi,

I had gone through your question and understand your concern. If you have taken Librium 10 mg regularly for so many years, and it is still effective to you, without any side effect, then I suggest you to continue taking it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suela Gjata,
General & Family Physician
