Let's make what I said very clear.
I am not knocking meds whatsoever all I am saying is that you shouldn't rely on meds alone. Yes they can be very useful and have/do help an awful lot of people as well as save many lives. However unfortunately it can be easy to look at a pill and think thay is going to magically fix everything. If it does then brilliant, alcohol problems more often than not have underlying causes too that require addressing at some point so the person can then recover or at least understand why it's happened. A pill can't do that.
Yes I used anti-Ds when I was diagnosed as clinically depressed and they helped me get back on my feet. Yes I had a chemical imbalance at the time too, after a while though I did get recurring symptoms despite the meds(not sure if it was my drinking or if I was drinking at that point to self-medicate). I'm now finding out what has really been behind all of this.
Sorry if anyone misread what I typed - I only meant to say meds are fine but they aren't always the answer. Yes they are very useful in assisting becoming AF but this also often requires a change from within too and to put all your hopes onto one thing could result in disappointment.
I'm not saying don't try them at all and once again apologise if anyone read it that way. If I deserve to be slated and asked for my qualification then so be it. The only quals I have is having read and tried just about everything to stop(including ?16k of money I struggled to raise on private treatment) so obviously I really do not have a flipping clue.
