very interesting... would like to follow the thoughts on this.
My Dr prescribed SSRI's on day5 detox(due to intense upset/lack of coping)... stating anxiety/depression side effect would intensify for a few wks n then hopefully i will start to notice a difference.
as trying pointed out ...one could say being depressed would make one feel they want to self medicate.... well i do!! with a mindnumbing coldie (esp in early intense SE of SSRI meds)
now i chose to not medicate anymore with alcohol... so my DR gives me an SSRI... is this the answer> time will tell...
very interested in printing this lil piece by Ann Blake Tracy an gettin my Dr's thoughts... esp duration of treatment... thinkin short term is meant to help not hinder absintance.... with the thought the treatment with SSRI's are complemented with futher MH support.... to assit in complete recovery.
Altho not talkin about my Dr... these ones that hand out pills with no other methods of intervention.... would be the part of the reason makin SSRI's another relapse statistic
