In reply to I am an alcoholic on Lexapro, I need help please, posted by Panic_attack on August 28, 2003, at 15:50:11
> I am only 22 years old and know that I am going to die soon. I can feel it. I have been drinking for years and I can't stop. I have tried. I have hospitalized myself several times with no positive outcome. I recently got fired from my job so now I am drinking more than ever. Too much time on my hands. I never feel good. After I drink, I suffer with extremely bad panic/anxiety. It is more like Depersonalization. It's horrible. I recently started taking Lexapro and ever since I started taking it, I get cravings for alcohol more than ever!!! Lexapro makes me want to drink daily. I know that I am going to need LONG TERM inpatient treatment. I have too or else I am going to die. I self medicate myself daily.... like right now I am going to take a tiny piece of Remeron so I can fall asleep. I feel horrible. I got drunk last night and now im having these weird like depersonalazation feelings. Has anybody ever overcome heavy drinking? especially while on medication? Am I always going to be a drunk :( Anybody know any good alcohol rehabs? What should I do... :(

>You sound like you are REALLY hurting, and you are asking for help, please, please, see a professional health care person of any kind to get started; in fact, who gave you the Lexapro??? Are they assisting you in any way with your pain??? If they are just giving you meds and sending you on your way, you must see someone else. I am worried about you, but there is only so much a board like this can do!
PLEASE keep us posted on how you are doing!!!~~~8|8
