Meds and a mental health diagnosis - sounds like two very good reasons not to drink. What's making you think there's a better reason to drink?

If you know drink is not an option, what are your alternatives?

Hi, get all the support you can. Also, it helps with feeling like drinking to think it through. not just the first few drinks, but the whole session and how you feel when you come to. Alcohol is known as a depressant, so while it might seem to be a relief, it will just make things worse. Good on you for your time up. I also am on psych drugs, anti psychotics and anti depressants. i drank on top of them 6 years ago, the first time. It was really bad, and I didn't drink huge amounts. Take care.

You don't want to do that.I drank with my meds years ago because I was diagnosed wiwth bipolar but it was actually alcoholism I didn't tell them about my drinking.Well I went home and drank with the meds and thank God my husband was in bed I'll never forget me crawling from the sunroom to the couch in the living room.I guess I couldn't get up in the couch because I woke up on the floor between the couch and the coffe table.I drank my normal amount of beer too.They don't make a good mix and it will make your condition worse .

Stacey-sounds like a lot of meds! Sometimes people go inpatient when they are struggling at the level you are. This may be helpful too in order to get meds on the right level.

Please be honest with your doctor and tell him/her you are on the brink with this. Ok?

So how are you doing?
