In reply to somebody please help me, posted by Mr. Scott on July 3, 2002, at 0:32:51

Hi there. I am so sorry about your troubles. You are NOT alone. From the your post, it sounds to me that you may have a drinking/drug problem. Do you think you do? I feel bad for bringing it up, please do not be offended. But, the disease of alcoholism and addiction is not something to play around with and I'd rather risk offending you than not bring it up if there is a real problem. Your past sounds somewhat like mine. I did not get into alot of trouble...but I was lucky to never get caught. I drank/drugged early on and always had mood problems. I realized a few months ago that I am indeed an alcoholic and addict. I am in a program and have been sober for 5 months. Drinking while taking meds is SO not good. It can make the side effects worse, make you feel drunker, and stop the medication from working properly. I am also Bipolar II. I too am having a lot of trouble with meds (effexor included, too much throws me into mania...not full blown, but the worst kind I get...anxious, racing-thoughts, aggitated, irritable).

So, I'm telling you this to let you know that if indeed you have a problem with drugs and alcohol...you best need to get that under control first. Believe me, I know it is difficult. oh, and benzos, I think are addicting...so if you have a addictive personality like me, aviod them.

Again, I hope I did not offend you. I just want to help. God bless you. If you need to talk/vent, post and people (including me) will respond and try to help.
