> To my friend to the north. Effexor and alcohol won't work. You need to stop drinking for at least six months or you won't now how much of your depression is alcohol induced. It is tough but unless you do it your Doctor will most likely increase your dosage without knowledge if you need it. I talked to the chief pharmacologist at the National institute of Mental Health about my dosage 375 Mg XL daily. He is mixing other drugs to enhance the effexor. Alcohol changes the reaction. I was also drinking before seeing a psychiatrist. Men tend to use alcohol to kill the pain. Stop the drinking and I’ll bet your pain starts to subside in three months. Long, but this disease takes more time to repair than I ever imagined.
