I'm trying to understand if Librax is actually meant to help with sleeplessness. My friend told me her doctor prescribed it as a sleeping pill, and I'm a bit confused because I've never heard of it being used for that before. Is it common to use Librax for sleep issues, or could there be another reason the doctor might have recommended it?
