Therefore, imho, you are no better off than you were before and I am worried about your dependency on alcohol. How much do you drink in a day and are you combining any meds with it? Do you drink because it makes you feel less anxious? Alcohol is a depressant so you should really avoid it among other reasons. But I can understand how addictive it is and that you are using it to self medicate.

> MaximeI already bougth a Bottle of Gotu Kola pills
I have no idea how much time Im supposed to wait to feel any change. I also dont know how much dose I should start but what the hell , I already took my first pill and Im researching all I can on the net
So im taking Xanax and Gotu Kola. I dont lose anything , lets see what happen , maybe nothing but it worst not to try anything
I really dont know If im gonna be able to stop my alcohol intake during the nights... that is very scary. I couldnt drink anything in this moment because the stores dont sell alcohol after 6PM . So Im clean. I will try not do it during the next week
How much gotu Kola do you suggest me? I read that when combining it with a Benzo it makes you feel more somnolent..
Thank Link,Maxi, phillipa , ed and everybody hereTepi
