    Abs or Mods?

    Don't know where to post this...I did in the meds section. I want to quit, but am having a hard time with what people are saying about Wellbutrin and seizures. If you drink you can have them, if you don't it is also true. I am having a hard enough time going a half a day without wondering if my meds will give me a seizure if i abstain.

    It feels horrible enough the first few days of detox to freak out about whether you are going to have seizure or not...

    I have a string of 4-5 days off with one work day in between and i want to start tomorrow.

    I hate my life as is and the way i feel on AL. Moderation at first is like taking one potato chip. Should I try to tough it out?

    Asking a doc is to no avail. He says cut down and Wellebutrin is just as deadly with alchohol as is withdrawing. Thanx for the valium, doc...

    I just know this is serious...any feedback is welcome. If I don't respond it means I have gone to work till later.

    Hi songbird,

    I honestly can not help with the meds part as I have never been on them before. But I am sure others who have will chip in and give you some helpful advice.

    With regards to moderation it all depends on where you are with alcohol. Are you having any withdrawls? How often do you drink, and the quantity? I am having success with moderation; but it did take a long time for that to happen. There was lots of hard work involved.

    Can you give us some more input? I do want to congratulate you on finding this board as the people here are wonderful and the support you will find is amazing. All the best to you.

      i would say if you are worry about the side effact of meds . be strong and tough it out .
      beleve me it is and was hard but if you want to be af. you have to really want it . for i have alway had belly problems and now that i dont drink anymore am eating much better . and 6 months plus af.
      and i did it without meds so it all is doable. you can do this .
      peace,love and god bless

        Songbird ~ welcome. Great job reaching out for help.

        I too can not advise you on meds. If you are not comfortable with your current doc, perhaps you can see someone new.

        As far as the AF vs Mods debate, another member started this same subject in a thread yesterday. I highly recommend you read the posts there as well as the replies that you receive here.

        The thread is posted in the "Just Starting Out" forum and is titled "ALCOHOL FREE or MODERATION?? WHICH?".

        Best of luck to you. We are here for you.

        Love, Me

        Alcohol is simply the device between success and failure.
