The Full Prescribing Information for Chlordiazepoxide/Librium does not mention it.
It is normal to taper the dose of benzodiazepines when going off them.

"
it is advisable that they consult with their physician before either increasing the dose or abruptly discontinuing this drug."

It is not recommended to open a Librium capsule and adjust the dose yourself. It is important to consult a healthcare professional who can help you develop a tapering schedule and monitor your progress to safely reduce the dose. Changing the dose of a medication without medical supervision can lead to adverse effects and complications.

Librium and ambien taken last night and suboxone taken this morning. All new from a new doctor. I have been very weak and unsteady the entire day. Which of these could be the cause?

They all can cause sedation and fatigue so it is probably the combination. Librium is usually given to help with narcotic withdrawal and should not be needed if you are taking suboxone, which also fights withdrawal. Ambien is a sleeping medicine similar to Librium (and so a bit redundant). If the goal is to get you free of addicting drugs it is questionable whether you should be taking the Librium and Ambien.

How long will it take for the electrical shock sensations in your head to stop now that you are off Lexapro if you tapered off very slowly and have been Lexapro-free for 5 days now?

Everyone reacts differently to stopping the SSRIs (anti-depressants such as Lexapro). Some people take an even longer taper than you are mentioning and are sensitive enough to the medication that a taper needs to mean taking it once every 7 days, then 8 days, and so on. As an anecdote, I knew one person who could tell she hadn't had it 20 days later, so a taper lasted 6 months. Make sure to discuss the side effects you are experiencing with your phsyician and consider a longer taper if the symptoms are limiting your enjoyment of life. Hope this helps! Dr. B. This may not be reassuring, but I have been coming off Lexapro very slowly for 4 weeks and for the last 2 weeks I have had the horrible "zaps" and not only in my head but in my hands too!!! I have only been lexapro free for about 4 days now, and I still have them, even with the slow taper!!!!

What hockey stick does Teemu Selanne use?

Last season 2011-2012 he used a Easton eq50 with his traditional curve. Before that it was a Easton s19 but it was only painted that way because it didn't have the elliptical taper the s19 has. It has the taper of a synergy. The curve was still the same square toe real tall profile.


Did the puppy in Sputnik die when it re entered earth?

No, she died well before that. Earlier claims have been that she died when the oxygen ran out, or that her last food ration contained poison, but now the belief is that she died within hours after launch due to overheating of her capsule.


Is It true that the last landing on the moon was a lie?

The final mission of the Apollo moon landing program was Apollo 17 in December of 1972. If anybody claims there was another landing after that they are either misinformed or lying. There was no Apollo 18 regardless of what Hollywood movie producers would like you to think. The capsule built for Apollo 18 was used in Apollo-Soyuz. It was the last lunar-capable capsule built.


How long does the seepage last after dog gives birth?

It's heavier for a day or two, then it should slowly taper off for about the next two weeks. If it is heavy for more than a few days or does not look right, I would take her to a vet to make sure all the afterbirth has been expelled & no dead puppies left in her uterus.
