Well if it ain't me ol' pal and fellow hustler Ron Hill..!
Good to hear from you Ron- hope you've settled comfortably in your new cabin after all the prior upheaval, and that you're otherwise fit and well.Any momentous life plans in the pipeline?

>>>Have you ever observed a correlation between drinking alcohol and the onset of mild (or moderate) depression the following day or two subsequent to the consumption?

This is a tricky one to answer Ron, because it really depends on which meds I'm taking at the time!For example, having a few beers whilst taking an SSRI was actually very enlivening and quite good fun (at the time), whereas meds like Remeron or any tricyclic would see me quickly deteriorate into a stammering wreck- our mutual friend sam-e would turn me into a quick-witted, grinning verbal sharpshooter after a drink too.
The only constant is the fact that I've always suffered the most merciless hangovers imaginable, and hence don't tend to drink very often (or a great deal) anyway.Obviously a monster hangover worsens depression in any case, but I think with me it's actually due to the hangover itself as opposed to a directly attributable mood crash.
So far, lamictal at 12.5mg is ample for me, and as I said, it doesn't seem to mix well with beer-but that's a small price to pay by my reckoning.

Stay well,

Col.
