Thank you so much FreeOwl. It is most comforting to be here as it is quite lonely on the darkside.
But I was also wondering if any of you had quit drinking cold turkey, like me, and what was the most bothersome withdraw symptom you had?
For me besides the constant nagging to have a drink is the shakes and the heart racing crap. I have read about Clonodine, but I am already on blood pressure meds, so can't do that. But oddly enough I found that over the counter sleep aids such as Tylenol PM helps. I mean just one tablet during the day, it just takes the edge off the shakes. But it's not powerful enough to make you sleepy though. It's not an answer but it helps some.
LOL, Tylenol PM is also somewhat helpful for Oxy withdrawal. Not a great deal, but a bit.
