I'm so sorry for your loss again.

I definatly noticed an increase in both my urge to drink & enjoyment of it when taking an SSRI/SNRI, lithium reduced it, now I'm off ADs all together I've reduced my drinking so I think they had that affect for me & so could in others.

I'm not sure if I rapid cycle or ultra rapid cycle, or if I'm perpetually mixed, but I have very labile moods & I think ADs made that worse too.
