Question from Vanessa T.:
about six months. I think it is helping me to control my sadness, anger and anxiety. However, I find myself craving alcohol. I've never been a drinker at all and even find it difficult to know what to buy. I find that when I am drinking that I feel actually happy, something I have never felt before. I also have less problems sleeping. The antidepressants alone do not give me these good feelings. It is all very confusing. In my generation we just hung on and kept our thoughts to ourselves which is how I handled things for most of my life. But recently the anger had become overwhelming and I told the doctor at the advice of my husband and children. Sorry this is running on so long, but I just need some other people's prospective on what is happening and why I am craving alcohol as an addition to the Lexapro. Thank you.
