A strange thing....
Hi Laurie,
I know East Meon it's a beautiful little place not that far from me.
I totally get where your coming from with the meds. Unfortunately bloody hormones muddy the water when your trying to keep track of feelings and moods. My whole reproductive life was blighted by PND and PMT. It was an unremmiting and unrelenting rollercoaster ride of overesting, depression and tiredness aided and abetted by alcohol followed by a brief period of sanity, only to repeat the cycle every month. Thank God once I hit the menopause all that stopped. There is some justice cos I never had a single symptom with it, not even one hot flush. I did find that my drinking was much much worse with PMT.
I'm finding the Bac really helpful for my anxiety. I've been very depressed recently. I came out of rehab last June and was doing great till I started to get anxiety and depression in Aug. I suffered on, with trips to the GP, till Dec, when I picked up again. By this time I could barely leave the house.
I;ve been on and off it ever since. I've had to plead with the GP for meds for anxiety. Eventually me having my first ever full blown panic attack in the surgery, in front of him, persuaded him that yes I might need something. I thought I would die. It was like an asthma attack I could not breath. I'd taken Bac a year or two ago. I'd got a private preescription. I could not afford to keep it up though. Consequently I drank again.
This time I'm going to see Dr Chick in London and hopefully my GP will be persuaded by him to give me a prescrition. I truly believe in Bac. The science and brain scans on addicts demonstrate it working and I experience it working. I'm also going to ask the psych for this new drug Nalmefene. He usually prescribes Naltrexone so I don't see that being a problem.
iI need all the help I can get. Unfortunately we are all different. So I guess it's just a matter of keep trying for you. I will follow your posts with interest and wish you luck.
