1621722 tn?1333050499 Welcome to the forum. None of us are qualified to give you any sort of diagnosis, especially online. If you're using alcohol as a way to deal with anxiety and depression, you could be heading down a slippery slope. It already sounds as though you need to figure out exactly how bad your "problem" with alcohol is...and the sooner the better, before it gets any worse.
Avatar m tn Is it concluded that there is to be no more alcohol of any kind forever? What about after you have cleared the virus?
Avatar f tn Becoming free from alcohol is a very doable thing. But remaining free from alcohol takes work. I had to take part in my own recovery and work on myself so I would change. If I don't change nothing changes. Nobody could do that for me. But there are millions of us in recovery all over the world. So freedom for you is out there waiting. Keep your willingness and continue to make the steps in the right direction like you've described in your post. You don't have to be sick anymore.
Avatar f tn My question is this I have a history of alcohol abuse, it started about 12 years ago when I had my child, I met a guy (who I spent 10 years with), could never get a babysitter so he started bringing beer into the house (only ever drank when I went out prior to this) after a year we were drinking a full bottle of scotch together every night,I had a very highly paid job god only knows how I kept it without being dicovered, after 10 years I left him tried to make a new start abroad it went wrong I
1563920 tn?1299288683 If you look at my past posts, I have been dealing with neurological issues for some time now. I have been very depressed about everything, from having to quit nursing to my inability to work and drive. During this time, I have been turning to alcohol to kind of deal with my problems, not such a good idea, I know!!! It hadn't seemed to be a problem until last night. A group of my friends, including my boyfriend, went out for my birthday.
Avatar n tn as a rule narcs can be stopped much less dangerously than heavy alcohol abuse//physically// cos as a rule there is no risks unless a narc user is old and has heart failure//mentally both r a true bumber//and aftercare for alcohol abuse is almost imperative cos it is everywhere//and drug abuse is not socially acceptable like alcohol is..peeps do not pass out oxys at the bowling alley like they do beers u didnt state what ur abuse issue was/or if there was one at all???..

Avatar n tn 1. Due to my alcohol abuse could my immune system be negatively effected and not producing enough anti-bodies resulting in a false negative out to 9 months. 2. My lymphocyte count was around 1700 on my CBC a little on the low end of the scale. Would this be any indication that my body isn't functioning correctly? 3. I know IV drug users have sometimes taken longer to sero convert, could this also be the case for long time alcohol abusers? 4.

799026 tn?1238317370 The best solution is a dual recovery group for people with a psychiatric disability and a substance abuse issue and the best place to discuss this part of your recovery is the substance abuse forum as many people have been through this procees there. None of these substances treat bipolar but they can numb the feelings but ultimately make things worse. For more information on bipolar and what does work google "Depression Central" (for all mood disorders).
Avatar m tn hey jazz, i'm in connecticut, as far a the brain, i think it depends on how much abuse is involved, but i know memory loss is enevitible.
Avatar n tn Our daughter was forced to have unsupervised custody last week where she informed us that he was vomiting all evening. I have researched symptoms of alcohol and Tylenol abuse and found possible signs of liver damage. For the concern of my daughter, we are extremely scared on what he is capable of when she see's him. We are hoping anyone who has experience on this could offer us advise.
Avatar m tn sggest you are concerned that alcohol intake -- either being intoxicated or perhaps chronic alcohol abuse -- might affect the reliability of STD testing. As far as we know, it does not. You could be stewed to the gills, or have entirely uncontrolled alcoholism: if you were tested sufficiently long after your last possible exposure, the results are as reliable as in anybody else. Now I have read the question. Nothing you write changes my comments above.

Avatar m tn if the xanax is in addition to the alcohol.....then he's really playing with fire here. being a medical student, you should know already how diazepam is used for withdrawal from xanax. this needs to be dr surpervised and the process alone of switching from xanax to valium is a long process...but ultimately at these doses and with alcohol in the mix, perhaps thats the best route? a doctor will know best...but the alcohol needs to be dealt with FIRST...then the xanax.
1255505 tn?1272819115 How many people here have a history of substance abuse? Did it result from or result in any episodes? I abused cannabis off and on from 13 to 20. I abused LSD from 16 to 20. I abused alcohol off and on from 21 to 37. I abused morphine & oxycodone at 40. Yikes! I also tried a few other things, but they never really took hold.
Avatar f tn how can i help my dad getting over his alcohol dont get mw wrong hes been off it for four week now but he keep on taking painkiller everyday and hes not eatting that much as well is there any vitamins or anything that could help him.
Avatar f tn ILADVOCATE is probably one of the most knowledgable people on this forum... I would PM him directly to ask.... maybe the meds you are taking are not at the right level? Maybe not the right combo? Definitely get the pdoc heavily involved in this.....
Avatar f tn I have been taking 50mg Naltrexone daily for about a month for alcohol abuse. I would like to discontinue. Do I have to wean myself off, or can I just quit?
