Alcohol Withdrawal
"UPDATE.  I am still on gabapentin.  Dose is 600mg three times a day - total 1800mg in a 24 hour period.  I had not had a drink &quot;craving&quot; since August 11, 2014 when I quit. (I did this within one week of starting gabapentin).  I did have a glass of wine at Christmas, one beer on my birthday, and one glass of wine at Easter.  That&#039;s it.   I use to have 10 beers a day, and three glasses of wine or gin for bad panic attacks and generalized anxiety.  So for me (not everyone) I can have that occasional drink with friends, at party or any social event - then come home and not touch the stuff and WITHOUT ANY CRAVINGS AT ALL -  as I had during my 40-year binge.  Still, this drug is amazing. AA never worked for me."
