Hi Hawkeye,
I agree that medication alone is not the solution and I am in away concerned that ultimately it will just switch one addiction to another. Unfortunately we live in a country where prescription drugs are handed out like candy, particularly antidepressants. He has a follow up meeting with his Doctor next week and I kind of feel that I should at least wait until that happens. He has tried AA, psychologists, psychiatrists and an addictologist. The difficulty there is that he will go once and then find a reason to not go back to the next meeting, AA was the longest and he went to 4 meetings before deciding it was depressing. I honestly think he is not yet at the place where he realizes he has to stop and until he reaches that point we will just continue in this cycle of "Sober" time followed by more "drunk" time.
