I have been on anti depressants most of my adult life. I was diagnosed with depression as a child. I drank as a way to self medicate- even drink using them.
I feel they have saved my life. In fact I think many who drink are just trying to self medicate. I do worry about getting off them some day. My doctor (psychiatrist ) has assured me over and over that I can stop these at any time and have no issue. Is that true? I hope so. I do worry about the long term use of them- will they damage my liver? I am older now....and in a good spot (most of time) and do not think I would be where I am now without them.
