Wine makes me eat more, I can't drink with out food, what is that?
I really think I can do this. I need to see the difference being AF.
I take zoloft and trazodone... I think sometimes that I drink to counteract the antidep meds....I know this sounds stupid, but I wonder if I do not need meds and drink to bring my mood down...?? does this make any sense?
thank you

Hello Fresh,

I am not qualified in any way, but I just wanted to say hi and welcome.
Good advice I once had was to never drink on an empty stomach, so that is a healthy thing if you can't drink without food... your body is telling you the right thing!

As for zoloft and trazodone, I do not know but there is a really good thread where we all discuss different meds under "Introduction & General Discussion" called " Topamax, Campral, Naltrexone, Baclofen, other meds " where we all discuss different medications.

There is also the "Need Help ASAP" thread which you can use to put the general word out if you have any worries.

Love
Suze

I have a friend who was taking paxal and drinking vodka like a fiend. she really got out of control. waking up in strangers houses, falling and injuring herself. it was awful to see that.
anti depressants and alcohol do not mix.

I have dropped the trazdone after weaning for 3 weeks and day 2 AF feel good but sleep was patchy even with 5mg imovane( prescribed to help Trazadone deletion). Hoping I can lose some weight off the Traz and being AF. Nice clear head today and very hopeful so far this has been a very productive day and it is only 8:45!! Everybody have a great day and thanks I couldn't do this unless I read and posted here.

Want to know how you are going?? is everything ok?
I'm from part of the world where we are real 'nuts & berries' so do not know anything about meds.. just sending you love & support.

read endlessly about the damage Alcohol can do, the nitty gritty scientific stuff

Hi Fickle,
Thanks for asking...I have had some af days and some not, but the quantity is down. Lots of exercise , that is key for me and I read endlessly about the damage Alcohol can do, the nitty gritty scientific stuff ...I have to override my habit/addiction with fact and reason, the more knowledge I gain from all sources makes it harder to stay blind to what I am doing to my body and mind and family.
I wish to live long enough to be part of my Grandchildren?s lives...don?t have any yet, and likely won?t for many years...but I worry that I will be the author of my fate if I don?t stop NOW!
Nutrition is a hobby, ironic isn?t it? The only time I over-eat and eat junk is when I drink. When there is no wine I am really modest and healthy in my choices. What manner of self sabotage is this, you might ask.
I want to be nuts and berries and get off Zoloft. But I am happy for now going AF when I can and being down to 1 AD and 1 sleep aid. Which I hope to reduce and eliminate soon.

I don?t think I am really depressed now, was in the past but I don?t think I need the meds...very hard to gage and even harder to convince the Doctor. Also scary to consider going off and then having depression again.

And how are you down there? SO very nice to know that you care enough to ask about me.
:thanks: :heart: :flower:
