Prescription Meds to Help With Alcohol Addiction? HD

https://www.stopdrinkingexpert.com If you are currently worried about your drinking you might be hoping that there is a simple tablet that you can take that will make all the pain and misery go away. Alcohol addiction is a complicated problem for the producers of prescription medication because unlike any other drug addiction it is completely endorsed by society. The chances are good that around 80% of the people you know drink alcohol, and seem to do so without any problems. Take heroin or sniff glue and you become a social leper, whereas alcohol is the only drug where that happens when you stop taking it. There are very few prescription meds available to help with alcoholism. The oldest and most well known is called Antabuse, which makes the user violently ill if they consume alcohol. Naltrexone and Topamax are anti-opiate and anti seizure drugs that are being trailed with alcohol dependant people. They work by removing the ‘high’ from drinking. It is claimed that over time the drinker realises that the consumption of alcohol is not having any effect and stops. I tried all three of these drugs and found the side-effects were worse than the hangovers. Naltrexone in particular made me feel exceptionally ill, and I hated taking the tablet each day. The biggest problem with taking prescription medication to help with alcohol addiction is you have to have the discipline to take the tablet. I found that after a while I started allowing myself days off the medication as a reward for ‘a good week’, ‘success at work’, ‘the dog’s birthday’... anything really. The only way to really give up alcohol is the change the way you think about it. There is no magic bullet cure – the cure is already in your head.
