I know Mike and his past posts... but honestly guys
.. seroquel did the same to me. And I took it on a long term basis and as prescribed more than once.
It affected me as he describes...
But really Mike. Ditch the booze and seek out some specialists. You should plainly state you have addictive tendencies and have struggled with alcohol dependency. If you're working proactively with a good psychiatrist and therapist it may take some trial and error but they can find the right stuff for you. But it is still up to you. Get a family or friend advocate and journal your thoughts and feelings and symptoms. It will help.
