I didn't experience any sedation on Librium. I've been interested in finding out whether I could take a high dose of it for panic disorder (I had already been taking quite a bit -- 50 mg q.i.d. -- when I gave up on it, but I probably could have gone higher without any problems). But there's little evidence supporting the use of low-potency benzos in PD.
> I also have IBS/d and I never have heard of "celiac disease" before. I know what you mean by "hellish AD's"!! I get the most benefit from SSri's, but they DO rip my guts to shreds. I have tried adding nortriptyline (20-30mg/day) to the SSRi and it did help a lot, BUT I didn't like the sfx from the NT!
What side effects did NT have that bothered you?
(BTW, what did you mean by "IBS/d?")
