Hi Anna - sorry I haven't replied... I don't log in as often as I should!
No, I haven't tried Acamprosate - is that the one that's supposed to make you sick, or is it supposed to relieve the symptoms?
As for Clomipramine, it's my understanding that it is a form of anti-depressant. Certainly I was prescribed it for anxiety. But the trouble was it had a certain side effect on me... it gave me a dreadful case of the shits! (s'cuse the language). I don't know whether it interacted with any of the other medications I'm on, but it just poured out of me (sorry to be blunt!) It didn't happen every time... when it didn't it did help, but another side effect was that it made me drowsy in the mornings.
I have found Xanax to be helpful, because the main reason I drink is because of extreme anxiety, and Xanax is very good for that ... but if you have a drinking problem, would you mind me asking why, if you know?
