General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Librax combines in a single capsule formulation of the anti-anxiety action of 'Chlordiazepoxide Hydrochloride' and the Anticholinergic/Spasmolytic effects of 'Clidinium Bromide'.
Withdrawal symptoms include convulsions, tremor, abdominal and muscle cramps, vomiting and sweating, which can occur following abrupt discontinuance. Hence, abrupt discontinuation should generally be avoided and a gradual dosage tapering schedule followed. In case you notice any of the withdrawal symptoms, you need to seek medical attention promptly. Hope the information provided helps.

Best wishes.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.
