In my student days, I used to drink a little - what student doesn't - and I do mean a little, mainly because I don't like drink all that much, especially as they no longer make Watney's Cream label  :'(
When I got a job that required me to drive most of the day, I gave up drinking altogether because if I were ever involved in a accident, I would surly get the blame, regardless, if I smelled of alcohol - then, no job!
I've never really got back into the habit of drinking now.

Moggy can I ask how much you have been drinking daily for the last few weeks i.e. what and how many, if it's a large amount you really shouldn't stop suddenly as it can be extremely dangerous , pm me if necessary , I have some professional experience in this area

So do I, and all the professional, well-meaning help in the world doesn't amount to anything much at all. In the end, there's only one person who can help, and we all know who that is.

Indeed Steve but there's a 48 hr window period where he could quite easily Kark it if he's been battering it, hence me asking the questions I asked !

I've heard that said before, Jon, but when I was at the Windsor clinic there were fellas (and girls) who would make Oliver Reed look like an amateur, and all they got was Librium, soup and plenty of liquids. It takes months, yes months to get back to normal if you've been at it for years, but only you can do it, no one else.

I still maintain it's harder to give up smoking, that nearly drove me fickin mad.

These pains in your 'stomach', Dean. Did they start before or after you took the omeprazole?
I was on nexium  a while back, in fact there's a thread about it somewhere. For the first three/four days, you get stomach ache.

Omeprazole is for stomach ulcers and acid reflux, so were you prescribed them for this, because the quacks are giving them out like smarties, and they shouldn't be.

Well there's your answer. If you keep taking them, the pains will go, but make sure you need to be taking them, because they are a 'cure all' at the moment and they are quite a strong drug.

Librium is a Benzodiazapine and cancels out the risk of seizures Ste, the major risk I was concerned about

That's a lot, Dean, especially if you never laid of it for at least a few days each week. Don't post any more on here, it's not the right place. If you're serious, rest up for the weekend, drink loads of water, take some diuralyte to get rehydrated and get an appointment with the nurse at your local surgery. She will be the one to put you in touch with the right people.

I didn't know that, Jon, but failing going to A&E on a Friday night, where he will probably be told to eff off, he ain't getting any till Monday.

My last word, Dean, if you don't knock it on the head or slow down, a lot, you are in for a miserable existence, and so are your family. Apart from the physical side of things, liver, kidneys, heart, etc., it will f**k your brain up and the mental side of things can get really bad.




I stopped just in time, that's why I'm such a healthy, well-adjusted individual.  ;D
