I told my pdoc that I was likely to have 2 drinks at night when I was feeling really anxious. The problem is that I was already depressed. Alcohol not so good for depression... He asked me if it helped. I said "yeah, but what am I going to do during the day?"

klonopin. .5mg prn for anxiety.

why?

because it's safer than alcohol. less likely to build up a tolerance than alcohol. becuase it's covered by my insurance. because liquor can be sensed by people (and smelled on your breath) and because it's got a much longer action than alcohol.

less abuseable, because klonopin not so much fun as alcohol. in 5 weeks since getting the Rx, I've had 2 beers.

why does feeling crappy make me crave alcohol? (easy it's 'cause of the euphoria!) but the euphoria wears off, then it's just intoxication and sedation, then the next day, my poor mind (already struggling to feel anti-depressed) feels bruised. not a hangover. a depression. ugh.
