I'm not a doctor and can't give you any advice about your symptoms, but I have hade experience with many anti-depressants. I do know that alcohol is not a good idea with them. I believe that will make you drowsy and may alter the effectiveness of the meds. Those are all good anti-depressants; some people just don't get much relief with them. There are some of the older tri-cyclic anti-depressants out there; they may work; unfortunately they have many more side effects than the newer SSRIs;
