SSRI's?
I don't have any issues with medications to treat mental illness and know a lot of people need them and they do indeed help people.
Has anyone else developed an alcohol or other substance abuse disorder after taking an SSRI before? Has anyone had a substance abuse disorder that seemed to get further out of control when taking SSRI's?
Prior to taking prozac for depression and anxiety my issues involving alcohol were manageable. I started taking the medication and my issues became completely unmanageable.
Stopped taking the medication and after a few months my husband reports I am more stable and I have noticed I have not had a desire to consume alcohol.
I feel almost like I did prior to all this mess. Of course the same issues are still ever present in my life but the depression is not as overwhelming.
Just curious.
