Willey - So interesting, thanks for posting that! I don't think I've ever tried anything that targets GABA (does Lamictal work on GABA?).
I came across dialogue indicating success of yet another drug designed to assist in alcohol withdrawal: naltrexone (Revia). (Post is old so don't know if the drug is still available.)
Anyone who have PDocs who try these remedies-regardless of whether or not you have or have had problems with alcohol?
Are they addictive by any chance?

"This phenomena of the SSRI "poop out" can usually be reversed by adding 25 mg of naltrexone (marketed in the US as Revia), usually on top of supper to avoid transient nausea. In anywhere from two weeks to five of once daily dosing the SSRI regains the full effect and often is perceived as working better than it did at first. I have done this in over forty cases where this has been most gratifying. At this dose of naltrexone the incidence of side effects is very low, and the improvement is sustained over a period of years. It has been the end of poop out in my practice."
