Hi!
>But is it available in the US?
Yes :-)
>Do you know why it went so far out of favor?
US pdocs seem to believe that the newer high potency benzos like clonazepam are more effective. I'm not convinced. I'm sure Librium is just as effective as the newer long-acting benzos. For whatever reason, Americans are very susceptible to marketing LOL!!! The newer drugs just take over.
>What was so different about it's comp?
Nothing really, it's a fairly standard benzo.

PS. Why was Librium your favourite benzo?
