Question by lloyd Schwartz: will the withdrawal symptoms from abusing benadryl be real bad. i’ve been taking 100 pills almost every day?
i didn’t take any for 4 days, and i had HUGE anxiety attack. i’m really worried about the detox. i’ve already been in treatment twice for alcohol in the last year. i wazs addicted to meth for 14 years. i used alcohol to help me beat that. in 4 years i became a full blown alcoholic. when i was in treatment for the alcohol problem, i started taking benadryl. 6 months at approx. 100 pills a day adds up to A WHOLE LOT OF PILLS

Question by Sarah L: I’ve been prescribed Northisterone to delay my period and wondered if recreational drugs/alcohol had effects?
If anyone has been in similar circumstances, please comment. I just wondered if they would have an effect on the effectiveness of the medicine, or if it would cause dangerous side effects? I have heard that alcohol does not have an effect on Norethisterone, but any further opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sarah x

Question by snatchjacker: do you think alcoholism is a disease? I’ve been told different things like..?
