In reply to Binge drinking: brain damage?, posted by Adam Donahue on November 10, 2003, at 18:22:38
Hey Adam,
I have also went through a bout of heavy drinking that lasted about less than 2 years. However, I was medicated on Lexapro and Celexa(both SSRI antidepressants) at the same time of the drinking. In October 2005, I finally got off of all the antidepressants, and I went through the grueling SSRI withdrawal. As of today, I haven't been drinking for 4 years. However, I feel like I may have sustained some Brain damage from combining the alcohol with the meds. For 7 months now, I am unable to sleep for more than 3 hours a night. My body seems to reject and not metabolise any sleeping pill (and every other drug) that I try. That means that any drug that I put in my mouth doesn't work at all!!I just felt that I should share my experience because I am desperately looking for some help and understanding. No doctor can find anything wrong with me, even an MRI shows nothing wrong!!
So however insignificant your experience might be, could be of the utmost value to me!!! Thanks!!!
