I'm confused. You said you weren't an alcoholic but only drinking to destress and forget. Why did you come to SoberRecovery? I was afraid to admit I was alcoholic but knew deep down that I was, or at the very least, had a bad problem with alcohol. I too was using it to destress and forget but it only made things worse. If you feel you're not dependent on it try not drinking for a while and see how it goes.
The antidepressants you're on won't help much if you're drinking cause alcohol is a depressant itself.
