Iwantmeback, I take an SSRI (Lexapro) but don't really know anything about a connection between alcohol addiction and SSRIs. In my experience, the drinking came way before the SSRI and I think taking the SSRI is helping me quit. It just seems like the meds help keep my mood more stable, so I'm not quite freaking out about quitting as much as I'd probably be otherwise. I have only had one really bad craving (and a few other small ones) since I quit just over a month ago. On the other hand, my SSRI is different from yours and we could process alcohol completely differently. It's a good question, and I'd be interested to hear anything else related to this.
