I'm mins of surprised he gave you benzos too, were you forthright about your drinking history? Have you ever considered therapy? Most meds work a lot better in combination with therapy.
No i was not forthright about the drinking. I haven't been to a doctor since I was required to in the military when I was in my early twenties. I can't blame it on him since he gave me exactly what I wanted. He didn't give me an extreme dose or anything either.
As much of a drinker I am, I am very conscious about hitting rock bottom which I haven't and maybe in the long run that is a bad thing.
I will try therapy as well, just seeing if anyone had a similar experience that could give me some insight.
