I have after many yrs of abuse decided "It's time" I'm FRUSTRATED at how long it takes to get into see ppl for help-I am in AUS
I was my GP yesterday re getting Topomax (so?) but due to my depression Hx and meds she is v hesitant to do so
..........to me my depression is what started this alcohol dependance surely if I can try the T my D will lessen???I dont understand her reasoning
I spoke to drug and alcohol services for 1 hr yesterday but cant see one of thei counsellors until 30ct or a new psych until early Nov-my old one has retired
Can anyone help PLEASE
I am terrified of the withdrawl process-as I have been hitting it pretty hard after an accident earlier this year and a series of awful losses in last 18 months--Should I be trying to go cold turkey (sounds too scary from what I have read) or try to decrease slowly??
