I'm on meds for it now, but they don't seem to work well anymore)
I'm on meds for depression, anxiety, and bipolar - and of course they don't work as they should if I'm drinking. Now that I'm sober my meds work as they should and my depression and such is pretty much under control.

I also don't think that changing your meds will help much as long as you keep drinking. Alcohol ruins the good effects of the meds as it's a depressant.

As far as your wanting to quit/not wanting to quit - you'll only quit when YOU really want to be sober MORE than you want to drink. It sounds to me like drinking isn't doing you any good, only creating problems in your life. I sure hope you can decide on a sober life. It's so much worth the effort it takes to stay sober. I hope we can give you the support and information you need to decide to make your life better by giving up the drink. Alcoholism will never get better on its own, it can only get worse. I hope you can decide to stop drinking before something bad happens to 'make' you stop.
