Drinking excessive alcohol (I sometimes have a glass of wine or two & it seems to have no effect on my meds) can render your meds ineffective so that may be why they don't seem to help. You also have to be careful cuz some meds can intensify the effects of the alcohol so you will get drunk a lot faster with less alcohol.

A friend's son just went to juvenile detention for drunk driving (120 mph on a dark country road--he could have been killed) & he takes an anti-depressant. The mix can be very dangerous.--Suzy
