Hi, There...

I don't know what your diagnosis is but I do know that it's not a good idea to drink alcohol when you are on medications. The effects of drinking can either counteract the medication or create unwanted side effects.

Have you talked to the doctor who prescribed your medication about your difficulty with sleeping? I think that would be a better way to go.

Also, the added benefit of talking to a therapist, if you don't already have one, would be a great help.

I'm so sorry you're going through such a hard time, especially losing your home. I've come close to that. It's a very helpless feeling. Sometimes, circumstances have a way of leveling the playing field for us.

Please take care of yourself and keep us posted.
