My husband has been abusing alcohol and Effexor for a few months as well as occasional marijuana. His depression has gotten worse and that's why he started using alcohol, as a way of self-medicating his symptoms. Alcohol is a depressant and does interfere with antidepressants action of neurotransmitter regulation. He refuses to stop drinking as well as return to his dr. to get his dose adjusted. Any suggestions?
