Hi helc,

I was in a similar situation a few years ago. I had increased anxiety after years of heavy drinking, and went on some medication. Despite the warning labels on the meds that say "do not drink alcohol while on this medication", I continued to drink. I bet your meds advise not to drink as well. But we alcoholics shrug that off, especially when drinking is the best temporary weapon against anxiety.

Of course, I was irresponsible and didn't take the meds as directed, and continued to drink...next thing you know I was in the hospital with seizures.

You should stop drinking, now. Get a plan together. Imagine if you could just stop the alcohol consumption, and finally get healthy? How great would that be? I am now 2 years sober, and taking my meds properly. I still have anxiety but dealing with this situation with a sober foundation is much more manageable. Why don't you give sobriety a try?
