I was wondering if any of you could or might share types of treatment you have used that help, or didn't help.
Where I used to live I had a great GP physician that I could discuss my issues with, and allowed me input on what types of meds he prescribed. I am now on the other side of the country with no current physician.
I am almost 6 months clean now , I had depression at the beginning , which went away for the most part. Lately it seems to be getting worse, more frequent.I am planning to find and make an appt. with a psych. that deals with addiction issues mainly.
I would like to know what is and isnt working with you others , if you dont mind sharing .................thank you AL
GVG also called Vigabatrin is the first treatment ever that stops cravings and works. Don't know where you are, but it was used successfully for cocaine and methamphetamine addictions in two clinical trials by Brookhaven government lab. in New York. The trial was conducted in Mexicali, Mexico (since not legal in U.S. yet). It's an epilepsy drug used for many years around the world. The FDA has given the go ahead for clinical trials to start in U.S. soon, due to the success of Brookhaven's trials in Mexicali. It lowers brain dopamine/raising GABA, and stops craving in 2 to 3 wks. People who completed the trial in '03 and '04 are still drug free today. GVG is for all drugs of abuse, since all illegal drugs raise brain dopamine. It's cheap treatment in the Mexicali gov. clinic. People in treatment stay in their own homes are hotels if live out of area.
