Right now my body is screaming for alcohol. I really want to drink. The cause? I dropped the dose, by 20%, of one of my medications that has serious sedative side effects and my CNS is in overdrive in response. I feel like I'm going through alcohol withdrawal, even though I haven't had anything to drink. It sucks.

But I'm not going to drink. First and foremost, I'm still taking antabuse so drinking would be spectacularly stupid and just make me really sick, so there's no way I'd do that.

I'm drinking copious amounts of a herbal tea that's calming, and that's taking the edge off somewhat, but not completely.


I hate that every time I make a med change, my brain goes immediately to alcohol. I had kind of hoped I'd be beyond that at this point.
