Acheleus-there are many different types of anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medications available, and the professionals treating you may alter doses and combinations until they find the right match for you. That may take some time.
Trying a combination of that and some form of counselling sounds like it could be really beneficial for you.
Don't forget either that you are in the early stages of recovery, dealing with a demanding course and the break-up of a long-standing relationship.
That would stress out anybody. You are doing the right thing by reaching out to us. We will provide you with moral support, but I do feel that you should give the doctors another go.
Many of us cope with other demons once the alcohol has been removed, and we have to learn how to live life sober. It can be overwhelming I know, but there is help available if you are willing to look for it and be patient. There are no quick fixes unfortunately.
Best wishes to you x
