I know this is a pretty old topic, however I found this thread today and it really hit me hard. Every since my doctor put me on Zoloft, my drinking went from moderate to large quantities of wine and liquor. At first I thought I was just building up a tolerance. Then I realized I was okay if I did not have the first drink...if I had 1 then I would not be able to stop. I truly believe that Zoloft is responsible. I have NEVER craved alcohol, now I can't drink at all or else it takes over. For the first time in my life I have had nights at parties where I can't remember what I did the night before. First of all I am going to tapper off the Z because I don't think I need it, now that the crisis is over...that caused me to start taking it in the first place. I am not one to play the victim or place blame on other people or circumstances, however I believe Zoloft can turn a casual drinking into an alcoholic overnight. I am so glad that I have the information that you all have posted. It makes me realize that it is the meds talking. Thank you all for the info on this! Truly invaluable.
