I tried to go off geodon and for me it was disastrous. It made my depression much worse. As for a drinking problem i can give my perspective cause I lived it. I drank to get drunk. I drank on my psych meds and I didn't care. Then one day I was facing a huge episode for which I drank even more. The next day I felt really awful so I went to my Dr. My blood pressure was so high it was at stroke level. From that day on I knew I had a problem with alcohol. We are told not to drink alcohol while on these meds. I drank anyways. Then my health was in jeopardy. I decided to quit all together. It was explained to me that drinking on these meds makes them not work properly. So taking psych meds with alcohol put me into a bad episode. It's because the meds effectivness is diminished greatly when throwing alcohol into the mix. Given all this I now don't have alcohol in my life and I'm much more stable because of it. Just be careful with yr self.
