Hi Sally
I'm sorry you are suffering, but you know... drinking only makes depression worse. This time last year, I was on my last legs with liver disease. I lost my job and my mother (cancer) about 2 years ago. This tipped my drinking over the edge. I HAD to go to hospital. I had ascites and severe malnutrition plus other grim liver related stuff. The doctors stripped me from my anti-anxiety pills because the liver absorbed them, so I had to cold turkey on them too. I'm 41. Since being absainant, my health has improved considerably (I really thought I was a gonner!) I also have asthma but my docs never let me run out of my inhaler! I can't understand why they would not let you take it. I would investigate it further WHEN you go back to detox. Good luck to you
