You really need to talk to your physician about drinking alcohol while being on prescription meds. Sometimes they interfere with the medications and sometimes those interferences can be dangerous.

You mentioned that you are/were depressed. Have you spoke with your physician about your depression? There are so many different medications out there on the market that there is no reason that you should suffer thru this without anything.

Of course as the others have mentioned everything in mderation. If your physician says that it is ok to drink with your meds, then again please do not over indulge yourself. Do also talk to your doc about the alcoholism in your family, it is important that he be aware. My brother is an alcohol and it seems that all the medical forms these days ask about alot of family history as it is important for them to know how to properly treat.

I do wish you the best and know that we are always here for you. We have all been there done that and are so willing to help our extended family members as well.

Sadieone,

I just wanted to touch on a few things that you mentioned that made me think. You said that your doctors have never said anything to you even though they see the lad results. They won't see your potental alcohol levels as the only way to find that out is thru a special test. It is definately not a common one that is ordered.

The second one is and please do not take this wrong at all. I realize that you take some rum to bed as opposed to narcotics etc and by all means that is your choice. However, if you do this every night before bed your body will become dependent on that "drug" and then eventually it will take a little more and then a little more as your body will come to tolerate it and need more in order for the body to meet that relaxation point that it is used to.

I by NO WAY am trying to be mean or going against your methods. I just want you to be aware and to please inform your physician of your choice of drugs for night time. Again, I do not want to been mean or anything, I just to make sure that you are ok.
