regarding Carolann's post about wanting the "real laughter" maybe every one or two weeks, I concur.
However, the point about giving the meds an unfettered chance to work w/out alcohol interferrence is right too. My first posting on this topic was not asking permission to drink, rather I was trying to determine if the ceased efficacy was due to the alcohol of if was just my low dose, or even the way Serzone works.
Serzone kind of curbs my urge to drink, but it holds me back from feeling real intimacy. (my doctor, BTW, told me alcohol would not interfere with Serzone's efficacy; the insert, however, says to avoid it) I thought I drink or two could release some of that "real laughter" for a night, but it just makes me sleepy and grumpy...
enough of naming dwarfs. to answer an earlier question, my doctor told me to work up to 300mgs, but I added 50 on my own after a week at 300 as the anxiety returned (seemingly after a night of light drinking)
maybe I'll go up another fifty, but I'm afraid of the sleepiness. thinking also of adding WB.
Dee, keep us posted on your plans as well...
