I respectfully disagree. One such medication is Gabapentin, which alcoholics in remission now take for life. It is one of the most benign medications in terms of the side effects profile that many people on this forum take for other uses. It does not interact with other medications.

I have taken it for many years to ameliorate the EPS side effects of antipsychotics, with great success. As a side bonus, it has been shown to improve sleep architecture.
