Hi Genetic,
I'm sorry I didn't explain my treatment fully. My pdoc and t aren't in disagreement. They just perform their chosen fields in the ways they were trained. My pdoc is not a trained therapist; therefore, while she cares for me as a patient, her focus in that care is to make sure that my prescribed meds are working and how alcohol use will impact the effectiveness of the drugs. Meanwhile, my therapist, who knows my personal history and needs, helps me to keep negative behaviors, whether these be alcohol use or something else, in check.
Neither of these professionals are in contact with each other on a consistent basis. There currently is no need. At times there has been, but this isn't over alcohol use.
My point in my last post was to say that we all bring many experiences with our advice. Even with research and articles that some have cited, an influx of information is presented. In the case of the young poster, my advice was to use moderation if he chooses to drink. Also, his question should be presented to one of the professionals that he works with.
