This is an unusual suggestion and I don't know if your doctor would go along with it but hey, if you're desperate...
I used to be a heavy drinker. I never drank enough to pass out or black out but I drank almost every day, usually a whole bottle of wine and more on the weekends.
When I started taking Ultram, I completely lost interest in drinking. In fact, any kind of alcohol became distasteful to me. It didn't make me sick, like Antabuse - I just had no taste for booze at all. With MY history of drinking, this was a miracle.
I know of Ultram's use as a non-narcotic painkiller but I understand that it is now being used for pyschiatric purposes. Prehaps you could give it a try. I cannot tell you what a relief it is not waking up with a hangover on a regular basis.
Best wishes-
Gracie
