What treatment is there for alcohol brain damage?

Since he faints now and is not drinking he needs to see a doctor and be evalutated. I haven't heard of anything that can be used to repair brain damage. Vitamins would probably be good for his general health and after years of drinking he is probably anemic anyway. Talk to a doctor about iron pills and general vitamins.

1 sachet should do the job. ANy more than that and it can give you a head ache. Dont drink alcohol though as it weakens the effect xx

This will sound harsh but if you insist on enabling him and thereby losing control of your own life and thoughts ... I'd suggest buying him more booze and hope the end comes soon. On a more serious note, you could seek counseling for both you and him and for god's sake, get him to join AA.

Now THAT is alcohol depedence! Perhaps a treatment facility is in order? I imagine it is almost impossible to stop this byoneself?

I dont advise it although the drug interaction is just moderate. Alcohol may potentiate some of the pharmacologic effects of CNS-active agents. Use in combination may result in additive central nervous system depression and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.

In the emergency room we treat alcoholics (not implying that you are one) with a "Banana Bag" (the color of the intravenous solution is yellow . . . thus the name). The main ingredient in the bag is thiamin. When you drink alcohol chronically it deprives your body of this very important nutrient & causes malnurishment. It is important to eat a balanced diet rich in protein and take a multi-vitamin each day, with added thiamin. Drink a lot of water to keep your body filtered. Of course, your best bet would be to not drink as much, but if you find this impossible to do it's important that you maintain adequate nutrition. Alcohol is high in useless calories; that is your body will store these calories as fat. Try to eat a low-carb, high protein diet with lots of water, as the body becomes dehydrated because of alcohol (it's a diuretic). \nAs far as decreasing liver/kidney damage, well, I don't think there is a particular preventative measure except to cease from drinking. I've seen folks with a diseased liver, it is not a pretty site :-( Take care and good luck!

Above, plus drinking water.\n\nCoffee or tea help you think clearer, but do not remove alcohol from the system.

your body is trying to compensate for the loss of nutrients caused by the alcohol

Why can't you spell or write properly?  You obviously don't need to drink, you need to keep the few brain cells you have left.\n\nDon't worry about such complex problems (forget about studies that show that alchohol affects the brain differently for people that are younger IE: 18) and instead worry about things more suited to you:  Why the sun is bright, what your favorite color is, ect.

Don't deal with your disorder alone.  If you are under the care of a psychologist who works with a psychiatrist, you can get therapy and anxiolytics (meds).  Don't self-medicate with alcohol.  You run the risk of creating a whole new problem for yourself.

Your words are exactly what I am dealing with myself. However, I have been self-medicating with alcohol to deal with this anxiety for over 10 years and I now have a serious problem. I thought I would never overdo it but I have as time has gone by ... I am now seeking treatment and wish that I would have pursued other options for my problem. A therapist of mine had great words ... medication - no matter in what form only covers up the underlying problem. Working through the problem and understanding it is the only answer.

Water is the only true cure for a hangover as a hangover is nothing more than your body being severly dehyrated from the alcohol.

Make a video of her doing it....what a wonderful world we live in where you can tape just about anything and everything. Yes she has a problem with drinking because she cannot remember anything she does the next day. What she is doing is killing herself and one day may end up in the hospital for alcohol poisioning if she doesn't watch herself. But ya its AA not AAA, I think your A key got stuck hopefully. AA is not a shame but rather a support group for those who have alcohol dependency. I wouldn't knock it if you don't know what it is like.

don't know...  but, try a glass of wine before bed (if you're old enough that is).  not to promote alchoholism but, it does help to slow your mind down a little.
