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 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.

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 n tn Hello Dr. Aharonov, Thank you for your response. From my previous post, what are the chances I could have developed Alcohol Neruropathy or Cirrhosis. I really don't have any of the symptoms of Cirrhosis. The only symptoms I have is a mild tingling in hands and feet that come and go. And, is Cirrhosis something that accures over many years of alcohol abuse?
Avatar n tn I have a friend that was abusing Ambien taking large doses and taking during the day doing things he does not remember. He stop taking Ambien all at once and is now have blackout periods where is does not remember things that he did. He had a car accident and he did not remember leaving the house it like he is doing these things in his sleep.

Avatar f tn 1 week off here and there when on vacation. Wanting to stop, not knowing what withdrawl will bring. Never had difficulty with alcohol, but off nyquil for 2 days, hot sweats, severe headache, irritation. Can anyone elaborate on their experience or similar? Thanks!
Avatar f tn 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. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Mental-Health/Celexa--Alcohol/show/1055180?
Avatar f tn I was on Vicodin and then given oxycodone. Never any abuse issues. I had to change PM doctors and this guy is prescribing these meds to appease our government. Trying to tell him I’m sensitive to a lot of meds goes in one ear and out the other! My body has been put thru H*** with all this. I have anxiety and depression as well. My Xanax was even taken away! According to the Gov I will take a Xanax and a pain med,go to sleep and not wake up,oh please.
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 f tn 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!

Avatar n tn NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH PRESS RELEASE ALCOHOL INCREASES HEPATITIS C VIRUS IN HUMAN CELLS Drinking May Compromise Treatment Success A team of NIH-supported researchers today report that alcohol increases replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in human cells and, by so doing, may contribute to the rapid course of HCV infection.
594255 tn?1219163564 All kinds of bad things went wrong on Feb. 2, 2008. I bought a half-gallon of rum, and started again. I did stop drinking again after a few weeks for about a month. I went back to meetings. Been unemployed three and a half years, and was turned down for a very good job. Guess what? I've been drinking since! I have no way to pay for rehab, so I have to go it alone. I know that if I take Valium 5mg for three to four days that I'll be able to withdraw.
Avatar f tn I have been drinking about two six packs of beer each day for about 7 months. I have decided to try quitting once again. I have read how some people have seizures when they abruptly stop drinking. Does anyone know when you are out of the "danger zone" when you withdraw from alcohol abuse?
Avatar n tn He abuses alcohol and takes percocets for pain. He has developed neuropathy and I believe it to be from the alcohol and opiate use. Does anyone have any suggestions for treating his osteo pain that doesn't involve opiate use or which will affect his heart meds? If given a healthier option for pain it would be easier for him to stop using the opiates.
Avatar f tn Isn't that for alcohol...this is a substance abuse forum/mostly drug use but there is also an alcohol forum...click on forums at the top of the page and you will find it in the list...
Avatar f tn t know what you mean you don’t “abuse alcohol like that” you don’t have to be an alcoholic living on the street to have liver damage from alcohol. Some people have trouble with alcohol liver damage with less alcohol then others especially when combined with other health problems. American Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting your alcohol intake to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men.
Avatar n tn m having depression/anxiety issues after alcohol abuse) but maybe someone here might also know something about this. I know no one here knows this for sure, and maybe I'm looking in the wrong place on here but thought I would put it out there. I am just wondering if anyone here has ever asked their doctor or qualified professional if it is possible to run out of neurotransmitters whether it be naturally or from substance abuse. I'm a young male (24) and abused alcoholfor 5-6 years.
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 m tn 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.
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 n tn confront them explain alcohol and drug are the same thing if he abused alcohol and he is willing to get them by "any means necessary" that sure sounds like there is a problem .
Avatar f tn Abuse is generally reserved for physical abuse. What your husband is is bossy and nasty. Unpleasant, but not quite the same thing, in that you are not controlled by fear. So why do you put up with it? You can go to other people for help, but the best help comes from you. When he gets into one of his mean moods, ignore him, walk out of the room, go shopping. He would soon give up because your silence would deprive him of satisfaction. As it is, you are playing into his hands.
