Gabapentin
"I have been a sporadic alcoholic for years now. This and my bipolar does not help.  I was prescribed gabapentin 600mg 3 times a day for my frequent and very painful headaches  and I have never felt better. I have no cravings for alcohol and haven't drank for 2 weeks now. I sleep better. I feel positive. I'm happy for the first time In years. More research should be done as it is not a recommended medicine for alcohol withdrawal."
