Good Morning
I'm a 63 year old male and 4 days into taking Detoxican (Portugese Nal @50mgs) again after non compliance for a couple of months and although I wasn't drinking in excess I did fear that maybe I would revert to my previous drinking levels. It does seem that I am drinking more in the few days that I have been back on Detoxican than I was prior. Having read the forums I believe this to be not too unusual when starting the programme. My problem now seems to be what feels like a severe depressive feeling after having had a couple of drinks. It's quite debilitating really and I now find myself drinking (self medicating) through it which in itself is depressing. It's hard to determine whether it is actually a "depression" or just a craving, if that makes any sense at all. I'm drinking maybe 3 beers (bottles) and a bottle of red wine over the course of the day/evening which I guess is not overly excessive compared to some, but more than I did when not taking Detoxican. I'm not really sure what my question is but I suppose I would like to hear that the depression, like the other s/e's, will dissipate after a while. The depression was the reason I stopped taking the medication in the first place. (Only took it for about a week)Having been depressed for many, many years in the past I really didn't want to suffer again. I have asked this question before from an eminant source before and had her opinion so this is just "putting it out there" to you guys to see if maybe this is a more comman s/as thank I perhaps think. I am living in sunny Portugal and would be interested in knowing if there are any other TSM members here Thank you Regards Eddy
