Then I couldnt focus on anything properly and kept screwing everything up at work which felt even worse when all I wanted was to go home and cry.

My husband took my alcohol to work with him for the night so I dont have anything to drink which is good but feels so bad. When he is on nights I cant leave the house though so its the one time when no matter how bad I want it I cant get any. I know alcohol is so horrible so I do want to stop I just cant seem to sometimes.
OMG, what a terrible T! Going off your meds without pdoc help is never a good idea. I tried that once, and I ended up in a crisis center because a lot of these meds you just can't stop cold turkey. Some of them, you can miss 1 or 2 doses, some even a few more, but then it catches up on you. Thank God I didn't pull that number when I was on Effexor (because that one was tough to stop even with a prolonged taper).
