Ok now for the question, upon taking this medication my smoking has ceased, mood increased, everything medicine was supposed to do thank God finally! But also my desire to drink and impulsivity to do so is also gone. I have no difficulty with my av or my resolve. I like my life much better without alcohol, but how does one ever know if alcohol is the cause or if depression and improper treatment led to the alcoholism...does it matter? I dont know...just thinking out loud...
Similar to you I started medication for anxiety and depression 3 days after I quit drinking. I started drinking 28 years ago to help combat my anxiety and depression. It worked for many years.
Of course alcohol became a problem and it made my anxiety and depression worse.
The only thing you can do is eventually try getting off the medication and see how you feel.
