 Has anyone had experience with the drugs Librax or its generic form chlordiazepoxide clidinium ?

I am on it for IBS... and I think it may be causing my increased IOP.

Thanks

 Years ago I heard something about being able to gently press on your eye to help "push" the fluid out and lower iop. 

I cant find anything about this online.

Has anyone ever heard this?

 Have had pressure pretty much under control for over 20 yrs with drops.

Lately the pressure has been up some in my only good eye.

Especially at night.  I will use the 3 drops... then if I wake up a few hours laters the IOP is up.

Any tips on keeping it down at night?

I have been sleeping with head elevated... but I tried it both ways and it does not seem to make much of a difference either way.

 Hello, is there a general consensus about what the best glaucoma hospital / center in the country is?  I have one good eye and the pressures are now going up in that one... I am not happy with the specialists here in Alabama and am thinking about looking elsewhere.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

I have congenital glaucoma.  IOP is going up at night.  I can wake up just 4 hours after using 3 drops and see rainbows.
Then after staying up just a few minutes it goes back down....
