Trusting My Boyfriend After Drinking Posted: 05-21-06 16:11pm
My boyfriend used to drink alot even at
one point he left me during our
relationship he didn't even tell me he was
leaving all he would do is drink now were
back together. I am always afraid of him
leaving me or start drinking again. I am
so scared of him being alone, because
thats when he drinks. Today his room
mates brought home a bunch of alchol and
had been planning on having a party. My
boyfriend told me mid afternoon that he
needed 'alone' time, and that he didn't
want to hang out with me for the day. I
was really upset and confused. I whined
all the way home. I even cried when we
got here. It was like he didn't even hear
me. I love him, but how do I trust him.

See if you can get some camprel
(acamprosate) prescribed for him.
Especially if he has some interest in
quitting booze.
It's basically the safest booze-quitting
medication out there, and has no
interactions with anything. He can take
it and still drink if he wants, although
that's defeating the purpose.
If you get an appointment with a
psychiatrist (maybe even a doctor) they
may have some sample books filled with
camprel tablets. Your boyfriend can try
it.
The way it works is, you lose the physical
urge to drink. It's as if you could take
or leave alcohol.
I tried the pills a few times, and it
seems to work.
Lemme know!

thank you so much for your advice! Does
his medication mix with other meds. He's
also on effexor. He swears that he hasn't
been drinking, but I think its rather odd
that he went to bed tonight at 730 (passed
out) I am guessing

Effexor is not a good drug to be on. Just
to warn you, I have been on it before and
you can have lots of problems from it.
Moodswings expecially. Just be careful
:!:
i stopped taking it because I didnt like
how it made me feel and how I started
treating people

Hello Posted: 06-17-06 21:05pm
The effexor seems to be working better
than the last antidepressent that he was
on. However, tonight he stood me up
again... Drinking? Who knows!
