Hello
This is my first day here and I feel quite optimistic after reading some of the other member?s stories.
My drinking began at the time of attempting to withdraw from a muscle relaxant called ?Lexotan?. Incredibly, this ?private prescription? sedative was prescribed to me by a GP who administered his own prescriptions! I therefore suspect that he prescribed this private medication for his greater personal financial gain.
Incredibly, the original reason for taking this prescribed medication was to assist with muscle relaxation following the breakage of my right tibia. I now realise that the medication was in fact a minor tranquiliser!
At the time of my withdrawal from this privately prescribed tranquiliser (which took eighteen months), I drank heavily to assist my sleeping and to actually kerb some of the frightening withdrawal symptoms from the tranquiliser.
Now, some twelve years later I still drink heavily. If I do not I find in nearly impossible to sleep or settle at night.
I am now hoping that with the support of this great group I may well be able to learn to finally withdraw from my trapped environment, although I do not believe that I could ever go back to any prescribed medications.
Many thanks
