I think you're talking about Librium (chlordiazepoxide), which is a member of the benzodiazepine family (along with Xanax, Klonopin, Valium, etc.). I'm actually surprised that you said it doesn't make you sleepy, because drowsiness is a common side effect with all benzos. If it helps with your anxiety, that's a good thing. But I would caution you against taking it long term. Benzos are usually only meant for short-term use. If you take them for long periods of time, getting off of them can be incredibly difficult. You can't just stop taking them because it's dangerous and you can encounter things like seizures. It took me years--literally--to wean off of the Klonopin my doctor prescribed for me. Personally, I would never take another benzodiazepine again. So just be careful. And maybe ask your doctor what his/her longer-term plans are for you and Librium.

Okay thanks. And yes I spelled that wrong. I have been taking it for 6 days now and it doesn't make me sleepy. I guess that made me wonder if it was even working. I am glad it doesn't make me sleepy. I will ask my doctor about it next time I go in.
