Jan,
So alcohol was the best medication for you so far, is it too late to have a beer or two and see what the effects are? You may be surprised that you could actually feel better than with all this other stuff you are taking. And you would probably sleep too.I could never drink more than two myself and with some drinks (L.I. ice tea), one was enough. I always said I was allergic to alcohol because I would react so poorly to it the next day, the hangovers were so intense. I earned to refrain from having more than a few ever else I would regret it.
I think I needed medications much earlier since something biochemically was missing. When I'm on the right medication I can have a drink or two and feel fine. Alcohol on it's own is much more reactive in my body. Whatever chemical imbalence is present that impacts my depression also causes me a severe reaction to alcohol at small levels. Any ideas?
