Yep. I was just there 3 days ago. I know i am not supposed to be drinking but the naltrexone is supposed to help with that. We'll see. It's only been Day 1 with that.
She says I will feel better if I can stay off drinking and my brain will heal and I'll feel better in time, it just might take a while. I'm hopeful but for now I still feel like crap.
Thanks for the hug!

My point is that these feelings may well be created or made worse by the medications you're taking...and they definitely would be made worse with drinking.
Is your doctor aware of your drinking history? It may well be time to have a review of your medications with him/her and evaluate their benefit versus these side effects.
We tend to assume that we are sad and miserable at our core when in fact these emotions are often caused by what we're putting in our bodies, especially as some if us are super-sensitive to medications and alcohol.. I know I am far more emotionally stable sober than I ever was drinking.
Schedule an appointment, yes?
Sending you a hug.
