Suggest Alternative For Medically Prescribed Cocaine In An Alcoholic
hi would like to know if there is a medical substitute for cocaine in the uk that my doctor could prescribe? I'm a recovering alcoholic (14 months dry) and started using cocaine not long after my detox and I'm pretty sure it is now becoming a problem (I'm using daily). my issue is I cant seem to make it through any day without having some sort of substance that I suppose distorts my head (this was alcohol from the age of 13 years I'm 37 now) ive always smoked weed (theres no issue with that as it helps with my adhd) but now ive stopped drinking I'm finding it hard hence the cocaine and I'm not really enjoying it (I question myself before and after purchase) I seem to be in what I would say is an aggressive mood for most of the day (this seems to dissipate once ive had a line or two) and I'm worried that this could escalate.

No, they've been looking for one. There are some drugs that lower the effect of alcohol, but they do not work on cocaine problems. Naloxone blocks the pleasure of alcohol; it did not work as well on cocaine. Camprol blocks cravings of alcohol. I'm not sure it has been tried with other drugs than alcohol, bu tit hasn't been shown to work on ohter drugs.
