Hi everyone,
I am new to this site. My original sobriety date was 5/30/2014 I was in rehab for 45 days, since I've been home I have relapsed twice. I don't want to drink and I know I can not do it for alot of reasons. I have no problem admitting that I am an Alcoholic and I want to go to meetings and was all for it my first 2 week home. I havent found a sponsor yet and I started to get more depressed. I also have severe depression and have ADD which I have been dealing with for years. I cant function at all with out my meds for my ADD, I'm not working, I struggle each day to even leave the house. My Dr. has ordered a series of neuropsychology testing for me. She is taking me off my Effexor and putting me on Zoloft. I have been on effexor for over 8 years. The next 8 weeks are going to be hell. I have read so much about the withdrawls I dont know what to expect or where I will end up.
Anyway. Just looking for some more support.
Thanks

Welcome to the Forum Nis!! 
I would definitely stay away from Dr Google when it comes to withdrawals, take it day by day and see what happens, and if things get rough check in with a Dr to be safe, but don't let the fear of the unknown be a hurdle to changing your life.
