I'm on 300 mgs of effexor xr and like drinking. However, I didn't crave drinking for over a month and when I did drink on my birthday, it knocked me on my butt, literally ! I ended up in the hospital with a strained back. I'm 54. The only thing bad about that is that I haven't been able to dance. I love dancing too. Anyway, since falling on my b-hind I haven't drank in about 5 weeks, scared to & no urge....until this past Saturday. I had 3 shots of whisky with a side of diet coke, felt good and I slept till 11:00 am! I haven't had that much sleep in a long time. It felt great! But I did feel fuzzie brained, confused, loss of memory, more than ususual, for about 3 days after. I think I'll stay off the drinking but I'm glad to hear comments relating to this subject, cause now I know I'm not alone.
Thanks everyone.
