Hi there, glad you are feeling well. What you have is an illness just like any other. Nothing to be ashamed of. Eveyone I know is aware I am taking meds. Alot of friends and extended family have also confessed that they take them for different things. Millions of people take them and there is no shame in it. That is the problem, no one in our society wants to talk about it. I will tell anyone and everyone my story and wont think twice about it. You never know when telling your story it might help someone that has know idea that they have the same problem. This may help them to seek out help also. As far as drinking be very careful and only do it in small amounts. Research has shown that people who quit their meds in the first 3 years, 2 out of 3 will be depressed all over again. So hold your head up high and be proud of who you are and what your overcoming!!!!!! I hope all continues to go well for you!!!!!!
