Dave, I can't offer too much advice, but I have almost the same amount of recovery time as you, and can share from experience that even at this point relationships are not easy. Rewarding yes, but they take much work.

I took Paxil for anxiety attacks, then switched to an SRI for depression. Have you spoken to your doctor about how you're feeling?

I can assure you of one thing. Alcohol will not take the pain away. For me it's comforting to be around other people at AA meetings or anywhere where I can talk with people that have similar experiences.

Hi Dave,

Astro is right about talking to your dr. I do know that sometimes antidepresseants stop working after awhile and it's possible that switching to another medication would help. There are lots of options as far as medications go, so do talk to your dr.
