The alcohol abuse is going to interact with the Nardil and pull you down further. You are probably using the alcohol to self medicate because your meds poop-out. You didn't mention if you have taken a mood stablizer in the past. When numerous trials of AD's with initial good response, only to poop-out, is a red flag for an underlying bipolar spectrum disorder. Unfortunately, most of these medications cause weight gain, and you have to incorporate regular exercise, strengh training and portion control. This is a life style change for many. You would drop some weight cutting out the booze too.
