I am one who has always drank on meds. Honestly I think certain medications made the urges to drink stronger... I've been med free for 2 months now and although I still probably drink too much, it's not a constant need to anymore.

In the leaflets it only used to say that alcohol would exacerbate side effects such as drowsiness and that was never enough to deter me. Obviously taking anti depressants with alcohol which is a depressant is a bit pointless...again not enough to stop me.

I've also never been good with med compliance. Always reducing doses or stopping altogether without the doctors say so.

I'm better med free, mostly.
