Thoughts on Prescription drugs
So I'm 15 days sober and this is my second Sober Saturday. Last night was a little difficult but I made it through with support from my husband (who still drinks moderately) and my yummy pineapple drink. However, last week I got myself to a Psychiatrist because well, I've got issues. A child that starts drinking at 12/13 yrs old and continues on a life of self destruction has issues and I need to face those demons. Anyway, she prescribed Naltrxone for dependence, which is the one I'm questioning, and Trileptal for mood swings (which i definitely need). I'm going to a therapist in April (long waiting list) to talk about my demons, who seemed to appear in my early childhood and never went away. Does anyone have any experience/thoughts on this? I've never been on prescribed meds before so I'm a little freaked out. But if they help?
Happy Sober Saturday to you all! Life is better without Alcohol!
