> Tepi who are you living with that has internet access? And no alchohol will not substitute for an antidepressant or for your social phobia. You went back on Nardil and you need to stick with it plus get to a pdoc for a diagnosis which you don't have and that girlfriend in Texas I'm sure will be glad to get you to a hospital there and a pdoc. Love Jan/Phillipa
Jan's right Tep. I'm living proof of that...20 years ago i drank out of frustration and i became an alcoholic. It was hell to finally quit, I currently have 2 years of sobriety. Remember, alcohol is a depressent, and yes your meds will not work as well if you are using booze. If you start drinking a lot your meds won't work at all. Can you get some Ativan or Xanax? These benzos work similarly to booze, but much better, longer lasting etc. Do you not feel that Nardil is helping at all? What dose are you on? I eventually used Ativan for my anxiety/social phobia and it worked very well for me. Now that Parnate works so well for me I still take a little ativan daily..just because i'm tapering off of it. Also, how long have you been on Nardil? Please let me know the answers to these questions and how you are feeling now. Bottom line...Phillipa is totally correct you need to see a real pdoc, get a real diagnosis, and maybe even be admitted to a hosp. until you are more stable.your friend,
Tyler
