Librium

[Libristop]

Hello, I have started taking Librium last night and today is my first full day taking it. I am wondering if anyone has experience with this, and I'd love to hear about any success stories. Here I go, my first step recovering from Alcoholism. Thanks.

[Charlie's girl]

[dark69meat]

Interested we are; out there we are.

i started taking librium about 3 weeks ago... an havent had a drink since... but you've got to want to stop.  They stop the shaking and the sickness...  the side effect for me were i could nt sit on my ***... im up at 5 in the morning an dont go to bed till midnight...they say they are meant to make you drowsy... not me..... they do give you a dry mouth but that could just be lack of alcohol!  Im on 80/100mgs a day so its a high dose.... they are highly addictive an you cant just stop taking them an have a drink.. they can make you ill if you do

[ibizan]

tigrai...those are Benzos and habit forming......ask doc bout Campral for u.u can take it long term.Google it and do some research for urself.3 weeks is good!

[tigrai]

got the doc on thursday.. so i'll ask when im there.. hes cutting them down on thurs... but i no i couldnt have stayed sober this long without them...im afraid i must have an addictive personallity.. you have 2 decide whats the worst for you...

[dark69meat]

We all have addictive personalities - get over it, that's why we're here.  Challenge your doctor - do the research before, know the facts!.

[ibizan]

u go dark right on and tigrai..be a tigress bout gaining more knowledge!yes do ur research!

[tigrai]

The facts for me are that write now.. im sober..i no i will have 2 come off librium...i will ask about campral as ibizan suggested.....sometimes ignorence is bliss...

[ibizan]

hey lady ignorance/closed eyes can smack u in2 a wall which hurts!Librium just aids in withdrawal...Campral will cut the craving!

[dark69meat]

Do they normally prescribe 'Campral' in defiantly?

Tigrai - tell what doc says Thursday please, you can't afford to be ignorant.

[ibizan]

i was waiting for that question...no not indefinitely but for the first few months maybe first year.....yes.and if u go off it and relapse it can be re-started.

[dark69meat]

So that was a good question?  And you didn't offer "indefinitely"..;-)   Good info tho!

[tigrai]

i will let you no how i get on.. i hear what your saying... an i will ask about the campral.

[ibizan]

Campral is not a 4ever thing.....it is a short term adjunct to SAFEGUARD ur sobriety....ur both worthy investment un2 urselves.tigrai....i know u'll keep us posted!

[dark69meat]

tigrai -  Hope you're still hanging in there; doctor Thursday?  Day 17 for you!  Condrad!

ibizan - I'm still asking about Campral when I go into doc.  One can never have enough protection.

[ibizan]

both of u keep going with the no booze 4 youse......and yes dark the Campral is protection!which u can never have enuf of with the Beast lurking everywhere.

[dark69meat]

"Beast lurking everywhere"... probally the rest of my life, even after I'm dead.  ******* nightmare..

[tigrai]

i can never understand why you... call it the beast...you make me laugh,  but your write it is everywhere..it was my best friend.. i cried the day i poured my vodka down the toilet..

[ibizan]

think about it.....it is large,ugly,stinks,has bad breath,acts like an ***,roars....it is over ur shoulder taunting u no good qualities....now thats a BEAST!

[dark69meat]

tigrai  -  actually 'ibizan' provided the description BEAST, but it stuck and  obviously use it on a daily basis.  Actually beast was my best friend for YEARS and more important than anything else;  that's what's sad, but I had to dump my best friend.

I could depend BEAST through thick and thin.  Beast and I had go way back -- some good and bad times; mostly bad the next day.  Screw you ******* beast!

[ibizan]

we can rid ourselves of the physical prescence of the BEAST but he is an insidious creature.Has tentacles that wrap self round mind...like urs tigrai!u mourned something that is killing u as u watched it go down the drain...how nuts is that?then when ur sober a tad..outta the blue BEAST residue in brain whispers...aw c'mon...u know u want me..just a few...u can handle it.....just this once. who's gonna know?.....hey BEAST go fornicate with urself!

[dark69meat]

ibizan - Beast is bad beyond words, the devil him/herself!

Tigrai - Are you OK for day 18?  Let us know about doctor appt.  Hang in there!  dark

[ibizan]

the BEAST can/does physically disppear from our lives..but he can/does remain in our brains.i find he comes out with times of xtreme stress or greif...but as the years have gone by I hear his voice much more infrequently.T-lady..we know u'll keep us posted!
