I know it’s a horrible idea to mix alcohol and any medication, especially anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants. I also know that everyone is different and people react differently. But I was just wondering if you know of any anti-anxiety meds/anti depressants that are not as horrible to mix with alcohol.

alcohol. We did try telling his sychologest, but he just said this and that.. never tried different meds.
His problem is Hearing voices loud, depression, he is Bipioler. And raseing mind, paising at night not sleeping, loud voices, and mood changes. while alcohol helps the raising mind and stuff, he is getting addicted and ciggs also. The “of course” voices are getting worse and he is getting really moody, on alcohol. now I tried talking to his doctor but he says AA meetings. My husband has been to them all and NA meeting also. so not going to work” they just make you want more.” HELP!

Cancer is not a single disease in fact it is the combination of diseases, so its treatment is also different for different type of cancer There are so many types of cancer like skin cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer and so on.

I was reading how some people use alcohol as a way not just to drink but to self medicate if they have mental issues. Why wouldn’t they instead be on real medication?
thanks for the great answers, appreciate them.

I am on Effexor and am experiencing several symptoms of depression but I do drink several times a week so I wanted to know if it’s because of the alcohol or I am becoming immune to the medication (which has happened to me before.) Thanks!
