Good luck. The meds may help. But, I went through seveal years of finding the right medicine for my AH. They would work for awhile. But, several had odd side effects. And he didn't quit drinking. Finally figured out that he may have depression, but for him he is better without the meds.When he doesn't drink he is a much happier person. But, he can't give it up. I am working on myself and I don't feel sorry for him anymore when he is "sick" after a drinking binge. I don't bother calling him out about his behavior right now. It doesn't matter. All that matters is trying to make my way out of the situation and making sure my kids are okay. He isn't worth the effort to fight with. Take care of yourself, read the messages. I wish I had found this forum earlier. It has helped me so much.
