I, too, hope these meds will work for you. But, Can'tstop,
you must stop now that you are taking psychotropicmedication.
And I agree with Golfman, it is imperative that time is spent
with you and a proper diagnosis is made by a qualified psychiatrist
who specializes in substance abuse or dual diagnosis.
If you have not told your doctor everything, make an
appointment and go now. My sister drank on Effexor and
it was not good. I do know that of which I speak. I am
barely, after nine months, stabilizing on bipolar medication.
But returning to alcohol would kill me within six months or
less. I've been told. And I'm not arguing.
Prayers for you and your recovery,
Love,
IO
