Interesting. One size doesn't fit all.
I'm taking effexor and wellbutrin and I haven't noticed any difference. If anything, the wellbutrin helps cut down the desire.
I found an article that for a small percentage of the population alcohol isn't a depressor and actually raises dopamine levels and helps the drinker be more 'normal' and function better. I'm pretty sure I'm in that group. My function went down (noticibly) after quitting drink and is getting closer to normal with reducing the effexor a bit, keeping the wellbutrin at 300mg - and adding provigil as an augmenter.
