Oh, I was put on Wellbutrin and I could not handle it, it just made me more sensitive and aggravated. You might want to question that medication, my therapist told me that it isn't the best medication to use with PTSD because it stimulates too much. It sounds like it is winding you up, not good for someone already hyper aware. That is probably "why" you are drinking because you are too wound up. You would probably do better on Zoloft or Prozac as they are more calming.

Psychiatrists don't like alcohol use with PTSD because while it has that sedative affect, it also aggravates the PTSD and it isn't good to use alcohol with other medications. Your psychiatrist should have taken time to "calmly" explain that to you. I drank when on Wellbutrin too, like I said, that medication just wound me up too much.

As I am telling you this, never choose to stop "any" medication on your own, always get professional advice with that process.
