Burt,
Rough deal. It takes some time to find the right doc. Does your wife transmit the same information you have to the doctors or does she do otherwise to hide her drinking problem? Without all the info you couldn't fault them for making a misdiagnosis. Perhaps what you need to concenrate on if you haven't already is getting her alcoholism or alcoholic cravings under control. That's the real issue. That's may not necessarily be a pdoc's specialty, but someone who specializes in the area. Also, be sure your wife's not drinking while she's on an MAOI. That could literally be deadly with the wrong mix. Best wishes
