Barr 159 Blue And White Capsule

Is this medication comparable to Xanax? ## Its in the same family, a benzodiazepine, but is it just like Xanax, no ## Hello, Daisy! How are you? This capsule contains 25mgs of Chlordiazepoxide, it is a benzodiazepine and sedative hypnotic. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, irritability and headache. So yes, it is similar to Xanax, but not exactly the same. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is a light blue and white capsule marked with 159? ## This is Chlordiazepoxide 25mgs, a generic for Librium. This is a very strong Benzodiazepine. ## I take Librium 25mg only when needed and Amitriptyline 50mg at night for insomnia. I had been on .5 xanax for 6 months and the side affects from not taking them were horrible i was going through detox. My doctor put me on these two medicine and within a week i started to feel alot better like my normal self. The Amitriptyline is a very strong medicine. Make sure you have plenty of time to rest the first 4 days. You wake up real light headed and dizzy. The Librium is great!!

half capsule is pale blue with barr printed on it and other half of capsule has the number 159 printed both halves printed with black ink ## Just curious. Found some old capsule oval shaped pills. The blue l/2 says barr and the white l/2 is 159. Printed in small black letters. Capsule is small with powder inside. I have no clue... can you assist? Thanks much. ## Teva Pharmaceuticals, who purchase Barr, lists this capsule as containing 25mgs of Chlordiazepoxide. It is a benzodiazepine that is used treat anxiety, and nervous disorders. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?
