yep, it's a benzo. i had it for a week to detox, along with lorazepam for anxiety. no side effects at all, apart from feeling a bit of a zombie. but that was welcome at the time as my life was in complete chaos with my drinking.

i had the librium detox as an inpatient on a psych ward. had a home detox the following year with just diazepam, and a mini inpatient one about a month ago and didn't need librium that time either.

i'm in AA now and feeling very positive. take care of yourself during detox, and follow your doctor's advice to the letter.

I took it to detox from alcohol 10 days ago, 4 days supply.
day 1 100 mg
day 2 75 mg
day 3 50 mg
day 4 25 mg.
My doctor said this was a very low dose, so I don't know how i would have done without it, but my withdrawal symptoms were extremely mild.

It does build up in your system though, could feel the effects ever after waking up after sleeping 8 hours the first night
