Alcohol Dependence
"I was prescribed Campral 11yrs ago and being the &#039;typical drinker&#039; thought it was simply another gimmick to increase the &#039;failed alky&#039; guilt complex attached to the usual remarks which accompany any lapse in our plight. I&#039;d been given 3 weeks to live due to the amount of alcohol I was consuming (9 litres of 7.5% cider, up to 8 cans of 10% strong lager and up to a litre of whiskey per day. My gamma GT tests showed 1299, the average being between 17 &amp; 53. I&#039;d become jaundiced, had serious liver disease, my health was shot to bits and I was ready to die. In fact it would have been a blessed relief. If I drank much less than stated in a day, withdrawal, fits and pain beyond belief set in. Campral was new and helped save my life. PRESCRIBE IT MORE, NOW, PLEASE?"
