Chemist, I hope you still check this board. I just saw this thread tonight and I have some questions. My wife seems to be going through a horrible bezo+alcohol trauma right now. Actually it started back in November 2006. Too much stress, a new job after post-partum depression, a wedding to plan, etc. I have my problems that have not helped her situation, but this is beside the point. She works a lot now, doesn't seem interested in anything having to do with our household or kids anymore. She's been taking Klonopin and Celexa (she weened off of Propranolol and some other one a month ago...yes some psychiatrist had her on all 4) then comes home from work and drinks 2 bottles of wine. The end result almost every night is passing out completely, not eating, saying things she's never said before, and barely remembering them, acting odd, repeating the same conversations over and over again every day, consumation with work, avoiding most of her time at home, etc. It's really out of control. She slurs her speach after a couple of glasses of wine, she wobbles around like she can't stand up, she falls asleep on the toilet, or couch, or chair, wherever she is when it all kicks in. I'm really worried, and have suggested MANY times that this is not the chemical mixup for her. She can't see how bad it is. She's developed this secret life through text messages, etc. And her attitude about it is totally different than what I would have expected from her. She's not the same person I've known for 19 years.
Have you heard this story before? I'm looking for some guidance to help her get off all this stuff. It's not the right regimen for her. But I hear the effects of discontinuace can be even worse. What's a guy to do?
