  1. Does anyone have an opinion or personal experience with new medical treatments for alcoholism, i.e., the manipulation of neurotransmitters with medicines such as Campral or Gabatril? I believe the correct answer is out there and there aren't enough addicts motivated to recover (scientifically) or have the forum to share this information. I have been studying this area since 1996, have no college education, but can talk intelligently about it. (Currently sober recovering alcoholic)
  2. To be more exacting, I think alcoholics are "triggered" at some point by a traumatic event and once the brain is "taught" how to deal with the uncomfortable balance it is in (as a result of this event), it can only be satisfied with the repeat change it felt the very first time. Another words any uncomfortable situation is only satisfied by the addition of alcohol again and again until the correct "life functioning" (pre-trigger) balance is struck once again.
  3. Anyone with knowledge of brain receptors, neurotransmitters and the connection to alcoholism?
  4. I have been doing research on alcoholism and neurotransmitters and wonder if anyone out there believes in my general opinion that this disease is one of a neuro/bio chemical imbalance and that you can affect and/or control the disease by what you eat and balancing the GABA in your brain.
