Sometimes you know what works for you and what doesn't. But, I wil say I guess if you don't know how something (Prozac/the meds the doc prescribed) will make you feel I guess u cant accurately judge.
I know alcohol makes me feel good and gives me what I need when I need it.. I don't know about Prozac, or if Prozac will be enough for me without alcohol. Im scared to give it up..for the unknown. im willing to try new things sometimes but I don't wana give up drinking . Ive had and have the best nights of my life drnking, and I am one of those people who like to live life to the fulest, what if I take Prozac, never drink and have that fun, and die before I ever get to drink again?
And on the otherside though, what if my eating disorder gets so bad I don't get to drink again ?
Desperate times call for desperate measures.. but do I really need Prozac? is there any hope without it?

i just wanna tell you before others come lecture... that I get this. I am not on any meds cause the thought of "it has to build in your body" scares the heck of me. It makes me think of the few times I still woken up so-not-sober. I like my drugs in by the evening, out in the morning.
with something that is long term, you have to be careful and observing yourself. Some people make drug journals.
as for drinking... I don!t think you need to give it up. But then again, I live in Europe, in beer belt, very close to vodka belt (just the fact there's geopolitics of drinking should tell you a lot). Here you're out socially if you don't drink. Most people will think you are either recovering alcoholic (in better case) or some kind of fundamentalist, or just plain weird. Good news is many people do drink on their prescription drugs still.
