You will be so glad that you didnt start on ADs if you just manage to get thro the next few weeks................................ Surely has to be worth a shot? |
Ah... nope, I disagree. As I stated in my first post, "
I would seek medical advice about an anti-depressant (from a Dr. who is also an addictionologist)." To expand on this, a medical Dr. is the only one qualified to give this type of advice. I personally strongly recommend that the Dr. also be an addictionologist, as there are more complex issues associated with people with drug and alchohol problems. People on a message board are not qualified to give this type of advice - including me!
I stongly disagree with anyone who says that it is not ok to seek outside help from qualified Drs., therapists or the like. ANY program of recovery, in my experience, may not be enough for some. It is, quite frankly, a very personal decision that must be made by the individual and I respect those who seek outside help.
I hope that helps.
