I've been considering trying meds again to help me with my depression. I go to sessions once a week and I think maybe, meds might be a thing to consider.

I've been on meds in the past but each time the results were unclear do to one reason or another. Mainly, weird sleeping schedules (used to work night shift and then attend school), insurance issues which meant inconsistent use, and then me just messing things up by not staying consistent with the doasge levels and/or drinking and smoking while also being on meds.

I don't drink as often as I used to when it could have potentially been a problem and I also don't smoke daily like I used too but I do smoke regularly (several times per week, maybe at the most 2-4 days out of the week) and when I do drink it's usually more than just one drink (at least 2 and at most 4).

If I were to get back on meds how much do you think this would skew the effects of the meds? I'm asking because I don't think I could give up either. Maybe I could give up the alcohol, but not so much the weed.

Is it still considered an addiction if the usage is maintained and not excessive? Because I feel like I am unwilling to cut them out completely to start meds again.
