Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time. Shouldn't you be discussing this with your doctor?

When i first started getting sober, they thought i was bipolar so I went on Med's, I didn't feel it helped me, I was on lithium, before that effexor. I was just detoxing, now i don't take any med's, I am doing great, finally love life again, My son just spend the weekend with me so that was awesome. Things work out but it takes time. In my opionion dr's shouldn't even give out med's til you go through detox. But before you do anything you have to talk with you're dr.

My doc told me not to quit taking the effexor all of a sudden. I think it might be one you need to taper off in order to avoid withdrawal. Sometimes withdrawal can be dangerous. I encourage you to talk to your doctor.
