I'm hoping they prescribe themselves so I can deal with this at home. Some symptoms I have every day are fast heart rate in the morning (half a pot of coffee probably isn't helping), hands twitch slightly, and palms start sweating in by mid-afternoon. I never drink the morning, but drink daily starting around 5ish until bed at 10.
Anyone with the same type of pattern... what was your experience?
BetterDad,
I was in the Army when I was referred to inpatient treatment. I had to wait for a bed to open. At the time, the only thing I was prescribed was antabuse and some b complex vitamins.
hope this helps a little.
