On this Episode of the Insomniacs Livestream, we will be talking about two topics: Topic 1: Pharmacological Treatments for Alcohol Use Disorder *Naltrexone Intramuscular/Oral *Acamprosate *Other agents like disulfram, Topiramate Topic 2: Protracted Withdrawal Syndrome from Benzodiazepines *Proposed symptoms that can occur even year(s) after stopping benzodiazepines *Theoretical reasons for some of the withdrawal symptoms *Though not widely accepted as a diagnosis in the DSM 5, why I think it's very feasible that a small cohort of patients may experience PWS: Protracted Withdrawal Syndrome, and some loose biological theories from research. So please come prepared with other general questions about psychiatry, meds, clinical research, pop culture psychology, topics on the news.
