Basically, over the last few years I?ve crept up from having the odd glass of wine in the eve, to drinking two or more bottles a night almost every night. This almost lost me my partner ? who gave me an ultimatum ? me or the drink (he hardly drinks at all, just socially, so really can?t understand why I have this problem). My three teenagers hate me drinking too and I always feel so ashamed the next morning. The silly thing is, I can go all day without a drink ? and can honestly say I never drink in the morning, and very rarely before 6pm, but by 4pm it?s all I can think about and once the bottle is open I just can?t seem to stop.
I bought the MWO book last week, but living in the UK I think that it is highly unlikely that my GP would prescribe Topamax (I did see her a couple of years ago asking for help about my drinking and she just prescribed me anti-depressants and basically told me to pull myself together). Have any of you taken this drug without GP help? I could order them online but not sure how safe this would be.
I have bought most of the supplements, but wonder if anyone can advise on the dose I should take of L-Glutamine? Although the book talks about it, it isn?t on the daily dosage list. Also, the book mentions Niacin and the fact that it has proven to reduce alcohol craving ? but isn?t on the recommended list. I?d be really grateful if anyone can advise what supplements and what doses they are taking. Thank you so much!
