I have been off and on Librax for years. Currently on it, but like someone else who posted, was weaned off to one at bedtime because he thought I was addicted. To be honest I have tried Bentyl, Levsin, Levbid, and Librax. I had been on Librax the longest and honestly I felt I was at my best when taking the Librax with Prozac, which I tried to do again and it was very anxious, so I stopped the Prozac. I had one GI doctor tell me that if the Librax doesn't stop the colon spasm, its not colon spasm.........well what the heck is it when your colon feels like someone has turned it inside out and is trying to reinsert it through your rectum....At one point they upped my dosage to 1 or two 4 times a day, but I never took that many, the most I ever took was three times a day. So maybe I was addicted? I did see that you take ALIGN and I don't know if you are lactose intolerant, but there is lacrose in ALIGN, but if it is working for you keep taking it!! Since I stopped the Librax 3 times a day, I have been unable to sleep. I sleep maybe two hours a night and have tried Xanax and Lorazapam, with no help. (I am seeing someone for the insomnia, its just not normal). So I would say, yes give it a try. I'm always up for trying something that works and to get relief. The only side effect I had was dry mouth and made me a little sleepy, but as you can see once I got used to it that went away. Good Luck
