> when I am home in order to feel something, I drink alcohol. I know it is a depressant and I shouldn't use it while on AD's but, I am so devoid of feeling i keep turning to it. I keep waiting for the new meds to kick in to see if this will abait.
> Anyone else experience this ?>
> Hi julieOn my previuos post i mentioned id drank after 2.5 years naughty silly me.
Also under xtreme stress.used to drink solo to stop feelings irritations-as K said bipolars depressives tend to self medicate.
When i started effexor the urge to drink had stopped so it was the right med for me at the time.
For me its not the actuall drinking i didnt drink continually just one BIG binge it's the mood i get 3 days afterwards it seems to kick some chemistry ive yet to find out why for a depressant it makes me feel undepressed????
Excuse rambling.
Long term drinking well i have past pictures of myself yuck. Lose friends etc...
Talk to doc .
The meds wont kick in on drink -in my experience afraid you'll have to quit- your liver will thank you better off without it
How long have you been drinking?dreamer waiting for verbal slap off doc.
