I'm 36 years old, at this point have been sober 22 days, have been on Campral for 5 days now, with no real side effects or problems adjusting to it. I'm very glad to have found this site. Up to now, I've been with a site where the emphasis and discussion seems to be primarily 12 step/AA, nothing against the program and I'm glad for those it helps, but it's not really available in my local area. There used to be a meeting in a nearby town but it closed down.
I've gone for a month or two months sober here and there this year. But I still seem to be affected occasionally by symptoms of Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. I didn't think that my drinking had been entrenched long enough - I didn't really drink until I reached my thirties - for me to suffer it so long and to this degree. I have difficulties with focus, sleeping, mood fluctuations, stress sensitivity still, etc. So I followed the advice of my addictions counselor and went to get a prescription for the Campral. I'm also taking Milk Thistle, Betamin and EPO.
It looks like there are other good recommendations here as well that I can use, so I'll continue reading around. Thanks - Mel
