Black And Greens

[Tilly2]

When I was a child, many of the women I knew were on 'Black and Greens' for their 'nerves'. A lot of ladies seemed to have 'bad nerves'.

What were they taking?

I thought Librium was for severe bipolar disorder. I'm not a doctor so I bow to your better judgement, Mohne.

^^Good ;-)

I don't think any of my aunties were bi-polar. They just had a lot to worry about. Shame really:-(

No - I take Lithium as a mood stabilizer for Bipolar disorder. Not sure what Librium is but it sounds familiar.

[Cloverjo]

Ah, I got Librium and Lithium mixed up.

Jo, sorry for calling you No. This predictive text is annoying.

Librium was a popular drug in the 50's 60s for anxiety and tension ( mainly women ;-)) Probably the most popular prescription written.
It is an anxiolytic agent..........used for anxiety.
However....anxiety may play a part in bipolar ( not my field) and if so Valium is preferred to Librium.

Also for "nervous stomachs" it was combined with an antacid and the drug was called Libraxin.......neither used now.

Thank you, Mohne.

That'll be the one.
