In reply to Anxiety w/depression - what's worked for you?, posted by winger on September 1, 2002, at 20:03:43
I agree. I've tried countless ADs and benzos but nothing works like alcohol. What's more it works completely. But after several decades of self-medicating it turned round and bit me. Now I no longer drink and feel like there's nothing to fall back on. Xanax is a joke, but one the doctors take so seriously. So what's the active mechanism of alcohol? Doesn't anyone know? If a new drug based on this were to appear I suspect it would also have a euphoric effect. It appears that's not allowed. Goes against the protestant work ethic or something
