Saw a specialist a couple months ago.
Other than alcohol dependence (duh!) he diagnosed mild depression and ADHD.
Treatment:
[list type=decimal][*]Start with 75mg Wellbutrin XL - 30 days
Added Deplin 7.5mg - basically a food vitamin that aids Wellbutrin effectiveness. It is a supplement, some say they feel like they have more energy with it.
Side effects: Crazy sweating even in a cool room, it really sucked but went away after a few weeks.
30 Days Later
Bumped to 150mg Wellbutrin XL - (still at this dose)
Continued Deplin 7.5mg
Added Campral. He gave me 3 weeks sample to try and wow!!!!! What a difference! I've been sober since. I've seen my counselor once but other than that, I just don't think about alcohol anymore. It pops up every now and then but no biggie. Used to...if I just thought about a drink, it was game over....I was destined to drink that day.
Side effects: None[/list type=decimal]So...I want to continue, but I'm concerned with getting a real script as I am concerned with it being on my "record". I've heard lately that insurance companies use prescription history purchased from 3rd parties as a screening method.
