HAHAHAHAHAHA YAY indeed for self-medication. I am glad you are feeling more loose!!!! Have fun!!

It's good to see you are having fun....keep it up!

Can't be any worse than all that carp they fill your brain with. Have fun :)

Oooh are they nice? Ive never had one

See this is why I smoke weed...

Except I just have fun smoking weed anyway, in addition to the relaxing calming humor inspiring effects.

Ok BP, I don't know who your pdoc is, but mine says no alcohol, none at all. But if you're meds are ok with a drink now and then, good for you. Am really glad to hear that you're feeling better!!

those are good. i know my pdoc said no alcohol either.

I don't know of any med or psych professionals that would tell you it's ok....namely because they assume that you are not telling how much you really drink, and also they know that many BP's and others with mental illnesses, self medicate with alcohol and/or other stuff.

If your pdoc trusts you enough to tell you that, that is exactly what they mean....but if you are making mistakes you don't normally make, and other unusual things, you are at least approaching a danger zone.
The reason it is so dangerous, is because both alcohol and your meds work on your central nervous system....which regulates things like breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate. If you go over your limit, you could fall asleep and never wake up again.....and it's impossible to say just where that limit is for each individual.
And of course, there's the added factor that, the more you drink, the more your judgement is affected, so the more likely you are to drink too much. If I ever drink any more, never more than one, and over a period of at least a h alf hour, and not very often -- as in, less than every two months. I'd rather be safe than sorry...then, it's too late.

Enjoy your one or two drinks a strawberry daiquri sounds nice!

Strawberry DQ's are da bomb!! Those and fuzzy navals are my faves!!

Nothing good happens when I drink....I really need to stop.....

It's going to backfire on you soon. Take it from me, all of my suicide attempts were when I was drinking to cheer myself up. It only works for a short time....then....Kaboom.

ONCE in a while ,I will take 1 small shot of Patron...I always feel awful the next day...so I don't do it very often

mmmm they are lovely my b/f has bought me a mini bottle of champagne for my visit next week......l intend to slurr away lol

I self medicate daily.. and I know someday.. it is gonna blow up in my face.. but when you are uncomfortable in your own skin, what are you supposed to do?
