I found out today that I probably have an alcohol addiction which people have told me previously but I wasn't so convinced. I want to detox but am very afraid of the withdrawal symptoms which can be awful really , intense shaking , anxiety, heart palpitations and pains in the body which I have experienced.. Please pray that I wont have withdrawal symptoms as I don't think I could take it and probably drink again. I turned to wine as the medications the psychiatrist gave me for my OCD made me feel so awful all the time although they did work. They suppress dopamine which they think causes the mental issues but dopamine is the feel good chemical that our body makes and when it is suppressed you don't feel good. They say it balances out your brain chemicals - right that didn't really work for me as doctors on the internet said it suppresses your dopamine which seams right to me as well from what I experienced. So is like a lose lose situation. I stopped taking the medication for a few months now but now seam to have an alcohol dependency on wine now to feel good. Oh brother why did this happen to me I was so screwed up possibly by these people. They tried another medication and it made me feel good for a few weeks but the I was suddenly hit by depression so bad I stopped the medication and was alright. I'm not saying these doctors are bad people it just when you mess with the human brain which is so complicated you never know what the results would be. I told the psychiatrists what was happening and that's when they prescribed another medication for me but as I said it really back fired on me. I think the medication they gave me did help through a difficult time but one cant be on it all the time. I don't know why God doesn't heal my brains chemical unbalances but I'm hoping he will soon but in the mean time I've been through such a rough time and now what they they did resulted in this other problem. Oh boy. I'm at my wits end but please pray that everything will be alright and that I wont have too suffer through difficult withdrawal. I have to say this as an addition to the above that I'm not really at peace with what I wrote above. Maybe I'm being to hard on these doctors as even they said why don't I just exercise instead of taking all these meds. So I don't know
but I'm not taking the meds anymore but has been real difficult. Maybe I should really get into exercise and see what happens
