I'm seeing a new psych tomorrow and plan on being totally up front with him about my drinking history. I lied through my teeth for 10 years to my old shrink, told her I was drinking moderately - "a beer or two and maybe a glass of wine for dinner" - when in reality I was having that before work on some occasions. No wonder I never saw any real improvement! Honesty really is best, especially because I'm only hurting myself when I obfuscate things.
On a similar note, I posted something about possibly raising my Zoloft dose but now that I think back it seems that now that I'm not drinking the medication has kicked in even more, thus giving me the anxiety that typically occurs whenever someone first starts out on the drug or raises their dosage. I'll be curious to see what the new doc days.
