Librium 20mg As Sleep Aid During Alcohol Detox

Updated

I would like to know is it dangerous to take say 10 mg or 20 mg during alcohol detox. I am 8 days into detox and still have shakes and have problems sleeping which makes me feel terrible all day, my mind just goes around and around and cannot drift off.I only took one tablet 10 mg after tapering off the booze but afraid to take as don't want another addiction. any advice appreciated, thank you.

Went to hospital for alcohol detox . They put me on atavan then moved me to 25 MG librium . Would it be OK to take a 2mg zanax one time with librium just so I can go to sleep from all the other cap they had me on while I was in hospital my tolerance is high been on methadone for fifteen years and Dr knew this.

" would like to know is it dangerous to take say 10 mg or 20 mg during alcohol detox."

librium is usually used for alcohol detox. the major concern would be the abuse potential. have you tried Cogentin? this might help.
