What Causes Swelling And Soreness In Ankles And Feet While On Librium?
I have been taking Librium for 2 weeks 25 mg twice a day. The last 2 days my ankles and feet were swollen and soar but now the swelling is getting worse climbing up my calves. I have been icing, elevating, and soaking in Epsom salt. I drink a lot of water. I m concerned.

Hi,
Swelling and soreness in ankles and feet is a common side effect of Librium.
This side effect usually goes away on its own.
If the symptoms continue you should do a complete blood count and a urinalysis for further evaluation of the cause.
Meanwhile, you can use non-inflammatory medication to treat the soreness such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
