new to this forum, found med. that really helps

I hope it's ok to share a medication that has helped me with alcohol craving. It's Lyrica and has made a huge difference to me. I also am doing AVRT, but am new to both.
10 days sober.
Just looking for input on either of these, Lyrica... AVRT.
Thanks, Lola

Hi Lola:

I assume that Lyrica is a DOCTOR-PRESCRIBED medication. Is that the case?

I hadn't heard of it, before now - I am glad it is working so well for you!

Hi Lola,

We have many members using AVRT. There is good information in the Secular Connections forum.

Here are a couple of links to get you started. It's a lot of reading with helpful information.

Yes, it is a DOCTOR PRESCRIBRD medication.
Feeling kind of weird about the obvious implication from you Kelly.

I just searched and Lyrica has some serious withdrawal reactions come quitting time.

lyrica withdrawal - Google Search

I just think it is fair to warn people about possible withdrawals.
