chlordiazepoxide

Chlordiazepoxide is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. It is primarily used to treat anxiety and to manage withdrawal symptoms in people recovering from alcohol dependence. By enhancing the effects of a natural calming chemical in the brain, it helps relieve feelings of tension and stress. While effective, it can lead to dependence if used for a long time, so it is important to follow a doctor’s guidance when taking it. Common side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, or confusion.
