I did not want to be drinking; yet, I'd needed the numbing effect.

As soon as I told my pdoc, he told me I was under-medicated. He'd then increase my meds. I do not crave drinking at all. I go to pubs and never drink.


I do understand the craving for a buzz or numbness.

I was relieved by a med increase.

Going through the exact same issue. Being sober scares me and my anxiety goes through the roof. I just don't know how to cope right now.
