If you are going through alcohol withdrawal and having trouble sleeping, please check with the doctor who has prescribed your Librium. I have concerns about your poor sleep and the alcohol withdraw. As you know, the withdraw needs to be treated carefully to prevent DTs. Not sleeping may mean that your Librium dose needs to be adjusted or that you need another medication. Please let your doctor decide what that medication should be.

Please let me know if you need any other information or if you have any other questions!
