I went into one of the local drug stores to pick up something for heartburn (too much booze a few days ago). Probably due to the fact that my command of the local language is not so good, I ended up with something really strange:
Ingredients:
Scopolamine-N-butylbromide 2.0mg
Dicyclomine Hydrochloride 2.0mg
Chlordiazepoxide Hydrochloride 5.0mg
Sodium Copper Chlorophylin 5.0mg
Hydroxide Aluminum Magnesium Co-Dried Gel 350.0mg
Magnesium Oxide 40.0mg
Synthetic Aluminum Silicate 60.0mgAs far as I can tell this medicine has antispasmodic, antimuscarinic (is that a word?), anticholinergic, sedative/anxiolytic, antacid, and possibly antidepressant qualities. I took 2 like I was told, I suppose my heartburn felt a little better. I don't know if I felt any benzo-type activity from the chlordiazepoxide (Librium). I actually felt kind of vulnerable when I went to bed last night, if that makes any sense. I did wake up early and I feel pretty good after breakfast.
This is one hell of an OTC medicine. I think it's more for a nauseous hangover rather than heartburn, but I guess since I said I drank too much the guy thought I was feeling really low.
Anyway, just thought I'd share this with y'all since you might have more insight into this interesting combination of chemicals. I don't plan to take it recreationally or as a potential antidepressant, although I might take one more dose in the light of day just to see what it really does to my mood.
