I have this friend, and he has these symptoms-
"anixiety, fear, irritability, anger and tension"
which more or less ad up to protracted suffering. This makes things somewhat tricky in his domestic life. It's not so fun for the wife and kids nor for him. He is newly sober, just under a year. He absolutely loves being sober. Yet, as he often describes it, "his brain is on fire."
He's understandably unenthusiastic about medication, though not opposed it. In the last three years more than one shrink has suggested he be taking some med (they don't say which). He tried seroquel for sleep. Not sure it did much.
What do you suggest might be a good medication to start with? I mean the best med to try first? And at what dose? Of course he'll get professional guidence, I just want to hear some ideas. Thanks
