You might want to tell your doctor something like this at your next visit, "I want you and me to have a very good relationship. To do that you need to be honest with me. If you are going to give me an anti-alcoholic drug you need to tell me why and you need to educate me about the drug I am about to swallow." Not in those words, but you get the picture, something like that.
Taurine. I've tried it. I've tried so many amino acids, herbs, supplements of all kinds. Taurine is one of the very few that stands out as a winner.
It does give some calming. I only tried 250mg doses 2 or 3 times a day, and a 500mg dose a couple times. Some websites claim you can take up to 3000mg in a day. There was a recent post that taurine builds up in your body. So while you start with loading doses, you can actually require much less as it builds up. I don't know about that. Just repeating what was in another thread.
Both taurine and magnesium helped me to wean off xanax fairly easily. With the help of taurine I was able to cut my xanax dose in half almost right away. Just thought you might be interested in that.
