Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol abuse medication
alcohol
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.
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
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???..
t believe any doctor would OK the use of alcohol (especially in excess) to someone on medication with a history of drug and alcohol abuse.
I think you have plenty to be concerned about. I think your daughter needs to be pulled up on her behavior and I think a collaborative approach would be more effective in her treatment.
The doctor is much better able to advise about the situation.
hi.. don't worry that drug abuse treatment is very costly. many drug rehab centers are available to treat you against Drug addiction.Please have patience and try to quit it because its good for your health.
We do have excellent forums here Addiction Substance Abuse in which many members also have had alcohol addiction. They would love to chat on strategies with you for a sober life. https://www.medhelp.org/forums/Addiction-Substance-Abuse/show/77 We also have alcohol specific forums.
Let us know how you are doing and how the surgery went.
You are much better off increasing the dose of the medication and stopping the alcohol if you are using alcohol as a stop gap medication for anxiety.

We are not doctors here so not sure. But this sounds like a big concern. You need to talk to a professional right away. Abuse is never okay, even when a person has an illness. Also drinking and medication do not mix well and often when people are ill they may use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate.
You must never suddenly stop taking this medication with out consulting your doctor first but then again you should also consult your doctor concerning alcohol or drug abuse before taking this medication. I have the feeling you didn't. How old are you? You might tell your mom and she will know what to do!
I am so glad that you have finally come to a realization that alcohol abuse is truly poisonous to your body. It leaches vitamins and nutrients out of you and damages your central nervous system. That is why I always suggest that alcohol detox take place in a hospital under medical supervision. You need to be on medication such as benzodiazapines to prevent seizures and have IV vitamin supplementation, especially thiamine, among others. Please do not take this advise lightly.
After being on Lithium myself, my Doctors have always told me it is not recommended to drink alcohol on this medication, but only because it affects your mood, not because it is dangerous. There are no known interactions between the two, yet it is advisable with Bipolar to avoid any sort of substance/alcohol/drug abuse, as it can make manic and depressive episodes worse. Alcohol can also be a trigger for an episode - it is for myself anyway.
Excessive use of alcohol with any medication can not only change the effect of the medication, but can also be dangerous. And yes, alcohol abuse will certainly cause damage to your brain cells slowly dissolving your ability to concentrate and your memory.
If you currently drink to a point where you have blackouts, you're on very dangerous ground. And even without blackouts, if you feel you are abusing alcohol, you probably are.
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.
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.
If your friend doesn’t kick the alcohol/drug abuse prior to starting this treatment, I doubt she will be able to handle the side effects of the treatment.
If she doesn’t do the treatment and continues with the alcohol/drug abuse, she should at least go shopping for a coffin. You should also distance your self from her because you can’t stop a train wreck. Liver Cancer is a horrible way to die and if she brings it upon herself, you shouldn’t have to watch it.
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.
But, alcohol abuse remains high, so those that are pushing the legalization of marijuana have firm ground to stand on. Alcohol is at least as damaging to the body as weed, so they're managing to push it. Plus, the idea of being able to subsidize it has many in the government drooling. People in this country hear some sensationalized media report that drinking a little bit of red wine is very healthy; so they hammer back a bottle of it a day.
I am glad to say that there is a recently FDA approved medication for alcohol abuse called Vivitrol. It is an injectable form of naltrexone that blocks craving fir alcohol for a full month. It is covered by insurance and if you do not have one, the company will help you with about half the payment. So go to your doctor, or company website www.vivitrol.com and find a provider near you who can set this up for you. Good luck.
